Happy Happy Friday, y’all!  Hope you’ve had a great week!  I got my pre-order from the Sept-Dec 2026 Catalog AND the Sept 2026 Online Exclusives on Wednesday  – and I’ve got my craft room all sorted and set up and everything put away!  Whoo-hoo!  AND – I was able to do a quick (okay – an hour and half!) video yesterday giving you a little peak!!  Want to see it?  Check it out right here!

I ALSO took a minute to play with a couple of new goodies that you’ll be able to get on 1 Sept!  TBH, the pretty Sunflower Fields DSP has been calling me since we got it on the Alaska trip and I couldn’t keep from using it!  I added some beautiful die cut flowers from the coordinating Radiant Sunflowers bundle and…a couple other goodies – to make today’s pretty card!  Take a look-see:

I started by adhering a gorgeous piece of Sunflower Fields DSP to the front of my Cajun Craze card base for the card front.

Near the bottom, I adhered a 3 1/4″ x 2 1/2″ piece of a different design of the Sunflower Fields DSP at an angle using Liquid Glue.

In the corner of a 2 3/8″ x 3 1/8″ piece of Very Vanilla cardstock, I stamped a Radiant Sunflowers sentiment in Pecan Pie ink.  Then I adhered it to the card front with Liquid Glue.

Using the dies in the Radiant Sunflowers set, I cut out a vase from a piece of striped Radiant Foil Specialty DSP (this is part of the Suite – and will be available on 1 Sept!).  I adhered the vase to the sentiment panel with a couple of Stampin’ Dimensionals – placed near the bottom of the vase.

I used the dies in the set to cut out three Mossy Meadow stems – a large one and two small ones – and adhered them to the panel with Liquid Glue – sticking their stems “into” the vase.

I cut out three small flowers – two from Golden Glow 2026-2028 In Color Pearlized Paper and one from Golden Glow cardstock.  I also cut out three small Pecan Pie flower centers.

I adhered the flower centers to the flowers with a Stampin’ Dimensional.

Then I adhered the top (Golden Glow) flower with Liquid Glue.

I adhered the two Pearlized Paper flowers with a Stampin’ Dimensional. Seriously – how cute are those sunflowers!?

I tied a knot in a short length of new Mossy Meadow Jute Twine (this is just one of the rolls you’ll get in the Neutrals Jute Combo Pack – part of a DIFFERENT suite in the new catalog – and available on 1 Sept).  I frayed the ends lightly and adhered it to the vase with a dot of Liquid Glue.

Finally – I added three Golden Glow gems from the new Radiant Gems – available (yep – you got it!) on 1 Sept – and the card front was done!

On the inside, I stamped a second Radiant Sunflowers sentiment in Pecan Pie ink on a Very Vanilla panel.  In the corner, I stamped the large floral from the set in Pecan Pie ink -coloring it with the Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry, Pecan Pie and Old Olive Watercolor Pencils! Then I added three more Radiant Gems – this time in Old Olive!

I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to the inside of the Cajun Craze card base and the card was done!

My Basic White got the large Radiant Sunflowers floral on the front…

…and more of the Sunflower Fields DSP on the envelope flap.

Et Voila!  I KNOW!  You can see why I wanted to play with the Sunflower Fields DSP, right?  It’s just…stunning!  And the coordinating Radiant Sunflowers bundle is equally as amazing – I LOVE those die cut sunflowers (they look especially fetching in the Pearlized Paper, don’t you think!?).  I’m loving this Suite SOOO much!

2026 BACK TO SCHOOL SALES TAX HOLIDAYS!

Thirteen states – plus Puerto Rico! – will have Sales Tax Holidays for school supplies in July and August and some Stampin’ Up! items qualify for the tax break in those states! According to state statutes, “items normally used by students in a standard classroom for educational purposes” are eligible. And – this includes select Stampin’ Up! products! BOOM!

The states with upcoming tax holidays are:  Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts**, Missouri, New Mexico, Ohio**, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia and Puerto Rico.  So, if you live in one of those states or Puerto Rico, take a second to download the sheet below and mark your calendar!  NOTE: The table on the left shows the states, their dates, and the limit.  The right-hand table shows the SU! Items that qualify! And yes – ALL the Stampin’ Dimensionals qualify!! 😎

**MA & OH Special Note: Unlike the other participating states, Massachusetts and Ohio are not limited to the products listed in this document.                      Additional current Stampin’ Up! products may qualify based on each state’s exemption rules and price limits. (MA limit: $2,500 per item; OH limit: $20 per item.)

How Exemption Limits Work: Sales tax will not be applied to qualifying items priced at or below the exemption limit specified for each state. There is no limit to the quantity of qualifying items that may be purchased, provided each individual item does not exceed the applicable state limit.

Please note:  You have to place your order with Stampin’ Up! DURING the tax holiday period in your state in order to receive these items tax-free (so – that’s from MIDNIGHT local time on the first day to MIDNIGHT local time on the last day of the tax holiday).  Also, keep in mind that this is a STATE SALES TAX holiday and the state statute may not apply to county, city, and special jurisdiction taxes.

For those wondering about Georgia, Louisiana, New Jersey and Wisconsin, those states will NOT have the sales tax holiday this year.  Whaawaaaaa…. 🙁

If you’re in one of the thirteen states or Puerto Rico – happy tax-saving!
