I used the Stampin’ Up! Pick Of The Patch stamp set bundle from the upcoming September-December 2023 Mini Catalog to create my card to share with you today.

My card design was inspired by My Favorite Things Wednesday Sketch Challenge 657.

I started by inking the branch image from the Pick Of The Patch photopolymer stamp set in Crumb Cake ink, stamping it on scrap paper and then stamping it across a panel of Crumb Cake card stock and then embossed the panel with the Timber 3D Embossing Folder.  I adhered the embossed panel to a panel of Basic White card stock with Stampin’ Seal and then adhered the layered panel to the Pumpkin Pie card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Pick Of The Patch stamp set in VersaMark ink on a panel of Crumb Cake card stock, sprinkled it with white embossing powder from the Basics Embossing Powders and then heat embossed it.  I adhered the stamped panel to a panel of Basic White card stock and then to the card front with Stampin’ Seal.

I stamped the pumpkin images from the Pick Of The Patch stamp set in Pumpkin Pie, Garden Green, Crumb Cake, Calypso Coral and Lemon Lime Twist inks on a panel of Basic White card stock and then punched them out with the Pick Of The Patch Builder Punch.  I adhered the Pumpkin Pie pumpkins to the card front with Mini Glue Dots.  I adhered the Calypso Coral pumpkin to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals and then added two Calypso Coral dots from the Ombre Matte Decorative Dots to finish the card front.

I stamped the pumpkin images from the Pick Of The Patch stamp set in Calypso Coral, Pumpkin Pie, Crumb Cake and Garden Green inks on a panel of Basic White card stock to finish the inside of the card.

You can see a list of supplies used to create this project, including the card stock cuts, at the very bottom of this blog post.

I’ve created a printable PDF with written instructions and a list of products used to create this project.  You can download, print and/or save it by clicking this image:

Sales Tax Holidays Coming Soon – Save On Stampin’ Up! Supplies!

Woohoo!  Four states have upcoming Back-to-School Sales Tax Holidays this year and some Stampin’ Up! items qualify for the tax break in those states!

The states with upcoming tax holidays are:  Massachusetts, New Jersey, 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.
