Happy happy HAWWWMP Day, y’all! We’re half way thru the work week which means…it’s downhill to the weekend! Whoohoo!!
I thought today would be a great day to give you a look see at the July 2026 Hooray for Birthdays Paper Pumpkin kit – it’s filled with FUN FOLD cards! Easels, to be exact. And the nine cards went together quick – with tons of flowers and leaves AND stamping! Take a look-see:
Everything I needed was right in the box – including the exclusive stamp set and a Timid Tiger Classic Ink Spot. I love Timid Tiger, don’t you?
I love this pretty line of flowers on the first design – arrayed across the card under the die cut “birthday” sentiment – that’s a “sticker” so super easy to add to the cards.
The inside of each card had a grid image stamped a couple three times – and a sentiment banner popped up with dimensionals to act as the easel stop.
The second card design has a gorgeous bouquet of flowers on it – tons of them tucked here and there. All those little flower centers are, like the scripty sentiments – stickers!
As always – I’ve saved my fave for last! I really love the how the hexagon shape and clusters of flowers work together so perfectly on this one.
For each of the envelopes, I pulled out my Old Olive ink pad and used it to stamp a pretty flower on all the fronts. There are three different designs of envelopes – it’s hard to see but there’s an embossed shape in the middle for writing the address. The embossed shapes coordinated with the shape of the card front on each card design.
We all love our flowers, don’t we? Well, this kit has tons of them – in Melon Mambo, Hydrangea Hue and Timid Tiger. Easiest garden ever!
I know y’all like videos so…here you go. See how to put yours together if you haven’t!
I have one full Hooray for Birthdays kit left if you’d like to purchase it – give me a shout. Or, you can get refills (just remember – there’s no stamp set or ink pad in the refills!) in the Online Store!

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!
