Stampin’ Up! Artistic Leaves Hello Sweet Friend Card

I used the Stampin’ Up! Artistic Leaves stamp set and a little of the Celebratory Sips Designer Series Paper to create a hello card to share with you today.  I also created this card in a quick video out on YouTube this morning and you can see that video right here.

Stampin' Up! Artistic Leaves Hello Sweet Friend Card

My card design was inspired by Hand Stamped Sentiments Inspiration Challenge #468.

I started by cutting a panel of Blackberry Bliss card stock three times with one of the Textured Notes Dies.  Then I adhered three panels of patterned paper from the Celebratory Sips Designer Series Paper (Online Exclusive item) to panels of Mossy Meadow card stock with Stampin’ Seal.  I adhered the layered panels to the die cut rectangles with Stampin’ Seal.

I adhered the layered DSP panels to the front of a Thick Basic White card base with Stampin’ Seal.  Then I stamped the sentiment from the Artistic Leaves photopolymer stamp set (Online Exclusive item) in Blackberry Bliss ink on the card front.

I wrapped a strand of Linen Thread around the card front twice and tied a bow then added three Holographic Resin Dots (Online Exclusive item) to finish the card front.

I adhered a strip of Celebratory Sips DSP to a panel of Basic White card stock to finish the inside of the card.

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

Woohoo!  Eleven 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:  Arkansas, Florida, Massachusetts, Missouri, New Mexico, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia 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, Illinois, Louisiana, New Jersey, and Wisconsin, those states have suspended the sales tax holiday this year.
