I got my July Paper Pumpkin Kit from Stampin’ Up! in the mail a couple of days ago and I couldn’t wait to put it together!  It was a summer themed fun fold kit and the cards are awesome!

The kit was called Fun In The Sun and it created 9 cute side step fun fold cards with coordinating envelopes!

The kits always include an exclusive stamp set and ink spot.  The stamp set this month was called Fun In The Sun and the ink spot was Daffodil Delight!  Perfect for summer!

Love the sunset colors and the palm trees on this card!

Check out the surfboards and cute crab on this card!

The beach chair and flip flops are my favorite part of this card…all three are such cute designs!

Looking for a refill for this kit??

Good news!!  The Fun In The Sun refill kits are already in the online store!  If you’re a Paper Pumpkin subscriber, you can pick up a refill right here.  But hurry!  They’re only available while supplies last…and I think these won’t last long!

If you want to check out a quick video from Stampin’ Up! showing you more details about the kit, you can see it right here:

The states with upcoming tax holidays are:  Arkansas, Florida, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Missouri, New Jersey, New Mexico, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and West Virginia.  So if you live in one of those states, take a second to download the spreadsheet below and mark your calendar!

Here is the list of states having sales tax holidays, what the dates are and what supplies will be tax free during the holiday (click on the image to download a full-size printable page):

Please note that you must place your order with Stampin’ Up! during the tax holiday period in your state in order to receive these items tax-free (which is midnight on the first day to midnight on the last day of the tax holiday).  Also, keep in mind that this is a state sales tax holiday; the state statute may not apply to county, city, and special jurisdiction taxes.

For those wondering about Georgia, Louisiana, Virginia, and Wisconsin, those states have suspended the sales tax holiday again this year.
