Hello Crafting Hugs Friends!! I have a few quick important announcements — #1: tax-free holiday for school supplies during certain days in August; #2: time to redeem your Bonus Day Coupons; and #3: New mini Holiday Catalog release and new on-line store front.
Announcement #1: Tax-free holiday for school supplies. Yes, craft supplies are school supplies!!! I can’t tell you how many times the kids used my craft supplies for their school projects. While NOT everything is TAX FREE, you will find that our adhesives, Stampin’ Blends (our alcohol markers), Stampin’ Write Markers (our regular markers), Watercolor pencils and paper snips are in this list.
This is a great way to start or to complete your collection of Stampin’ Blends!!! And to make sure that you have the right adhesive for your future projects, now is a great time to add different types of adhesives to your collection.
Here is a list of tax free holidays offered by state:
- Arizona — Aug 1 – 2
- Florida — Aug 7 – 9
- Massachusetts — Aug 29 – 30
- Missouri — Aug 7 – 9
- New Mexico — Aug 7 – 9
- Ohio — Aug 7 – 9
- South Carolina — Aug 7 – 9
- Tennessee — Jul 31 – Aug 2
- Texas — Aug 7 – 9
- Virginia — Aug 7 – 9
- Unfortunately, three states – Georgia, Louisiana, and Wisconsin – have suspended the sales tax holiday for this year.
Mark your calendar and take advantage of this Tax Break Holiday!
Announcement #2: Time to Redeem Your Bonus Day Coupons! From August 4-31st, you can redeem your Bonus Day Coupons that you earned in July for anything in the Annual Catalog, in the new Holiday Mini Catalog and on the Clearance Rack.
Announcement #3: New Mini Holiday Catalog release and New On-Line Store goes live on August 4th. Stampin’ Up! is rolling out a wonderful new collection of Holiday stamps, papers, dies, punches and embellishments and at the same time, Stampin’ Up is updating the look and function of our online store!! Pretty Exciting!!! The website may look a little different with new features to enhance your shopping experience. First, it will be easier to navigate, especially when using your phone. Second, there is a new search feature that lets you search by size, price, product type, color and occasion. And, better yet, you can create wish lists, mark favorites and track previous purchases! Sounds Amazing!!!
Here are a few things to know about the new online store.
- Your account information and passwords will still work with the new site. While old bookmarks and links will forward you to the new store, your browser will see it as a “new” site.
- When you first log on, you will need to re-enter your password. Since everything is new, the “new” online store will not “remember you”. There is a resent password link, if you need it, and an email sent to you with your information. (The password reset email will come from noreply@info.stampinup.com — so check your “spam/junk” folder if you don’t see it promptly.)
- To ensure things go smoothly for you, you may want to check your password today and write it down. Simply log into my online store, click on “my account” and then “email/passwords”.
Be sure that you see my name at the top on the right when you are shopping with me to earn my rewards and benefits for ordering!
- And finally, if you would like to place your order with me, please make sure my name appears in the upper-left-hand corner of your computer screen. This will ensure that you are actually purchasing through my on-line store. If you are using an iPhone, iPad, or tablet, my name may appear at the bottom. If there is not a selected demonstrator name, a local demonstrator will be chosen for you. If you have any difficulty, please contact me or call Stampin’ Up! directly at 1-800-Stamp-Up.
