The 2026 back-to-school sales tax holiday season is upon us!  During select dates in July and August, thirteen states and Puerto Rico are offering a sales tax holiday for school supplies.

Good news: this includes select Stampin’ Up! products!  According to state statutes, “items normally used by students in a standard classroom for educational purposes” are eligible.

You can find the list on the 2026 Back-to-School Tax Holiday Information handout.  The handout also includes participating states, tax-exempt products, sales tax holiday dates, and information about how these exemptions work.  Click on the image below to open the full size handout:

Please note that you must place your Stampin’ Up! orders during the tax holiday period to receive qualifying items tax-free.  Orders must be placed between midnight on the first day and midnight on the last day of the applicable tax holiday. Also, keep in mind that this is a state sales tax holiday; the exemption may not apply to county, city, or special jurisdiction taxes.

Georgia, Louisiana, New Jersey, and Wisconsin have suspended the sales tax holiday this year.

The tax holidays are already happening in Alabama and Puerto Rico!  So if you live in those areas, get your order placed this weekend to get the Stampin’ Up! back to school items tax free!

Stampin’ Hot Foil System Available NOW!!

Introducing one of the hottest items in crafting—the new Stampin’ Hot Foil System!!

The metallic magic starts with Stampin’ Hot Foil Rolls, specially-made Hot Foil dies, and the Stampin’ Hot Foil System that works with the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (sold separately). The heat of the platform transfers the foil using hot foil dies designed specifically for this system, allowing you to add dazzling details to paper and more.

WHAT IS INCLUDED WHEN YOU PURCHASE THE STAMPIN’ HOT FOIL SYSTEM?

This everything included in the Stampin’ Hot Foil System & Craft Class:

• Metallic Magic Craft Class ($30 value—limited time only!)
• Stampin’ Hot Foil platform
• Stampin’ Hot Foil Shim & Spacer
• Stampin’ Hot Foil Magnetic Pick-Up Tool
• Silicone platform station
• Silicone cooling pad

• Instructions on how to use the system

The Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine, Stampin’ Hot Foil Rolls (the foil itself), and Hot Foil dies and bundles are sold separately.

CRAFT CLASS

As an added bonus, everyone who purchases this system before January 4, 2027, will automatically be able to access the upcoming Metallic Magic Craft Class, a technique-centric virtual class. Attendees will make unique projects and learn crafting tips intended to elevate their hot foil crafting experience. This class is a special limited-time offer exclusive to this system and is an amazing tool when it comes to increasing skills, learning techniques, and making the most of this new product line.

You can see more details about the system, find the bundles and foil that will be available to order beginning on Friday, July 10 in this brochure:

A few notes about the new system:

• Hot Foil results are best with either White Willow or Two-Tone Cardstock.  Smoother card stocks like the Two-Tone Cardstock and White Willow will achieve the best results when using the system, but you can use the regular card stocks too.
• The Hot Foil System, foil rolls and new hot foil dies and bundles will be available Friday, July 10, 2026 in the online Stampin’ Up! store.
• A FREE Hot Foil Online Class from Stampin’ Up! is included with your hot foil system purchase (a $30 value!), do not add the class separately to your cart (you’ll be charged for it if you do!).  You’ll automatically get a link to it after you purchase the Stampin’ Hot Foil System.
• The Stampin’ Hot Foil system is $160. Dies & foil are sold separately.
• Stampin’ Up! has let us know that if the Stampin’ Hot Foil system goes on backorder, it may take longer than normal to restock.  So if you would like to order the system, order sooner rather than later!
• IMPORTANT NOTE:  Cutting dies are not designed to be used with hot foiling.  You cannot die cut using foiling dies.  Doing so risks damaging the dies and the system.

I’m so excited for you all to be able to order this new system!  I have recently started playing with mine and it’s so much fun!  Head over to the Stampin’ Up! online store now to see and order the new system!
