Thirteen states and Puerto Rico will be offering a sales tax holiday for school supplies during the months of July, August, or September. Products that are eligible according to the statute include “items normally used by students in a standard classroom for educational purposes.” States participating and dates are in the chart above.

Please note that Georgia, Louisiana, Virginia, and Wisconsin have suspended the sales tax holiday again this year.

Finally broke out the punch and stamp set for the Trucking Along Bundle. It is such a cute set – you can add flowers, trees, gifts and lots more. Currently, it is unavailable and expected back in stock on 16 October 2023, though the stamp set is available at this time. If you have been wanting this bundle but unable to get it, I would suggest buying the stamp set now and then buying the punch when it becomes available. The only thing you punch out is the truck and window. The truck is so easy to fussy cut and you don’t necessary have to punch out the window. I punched out the window in this case because of the background. I wanted it to show through the window.

The background is front the Fresh as a Daisy Designer Series Paper. I stamped the trees directly on the background. I used the Garden Green Stampin’ Write Marker for the leaves and the Pecan Pie Stampin’ Blends for the trunks. The sentiment was stamped directly onto the sky with Tuxedo Black Ink.

This stamp set is a two-step stamp. The truck was first stamped with Tuxedo Black Ink onto Basic White Thick Cardstock. Then I stamped with it with Real Red Ink. The flowers were stamped with Tuxedo Black Ink and the colored in with Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends for flowers and the Garden Green Stampin’ Write Marker for the leaves. I drew the container with a Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker and then colored it in with the Gray Granite Stampin’ Blends.

If you enjoyed my project for today, please be sure to visit my Card Gallery for lots of ideas and inspiration. Have a great Monday!
