Season’s greetings, crafter!
We know—Christmas is still months away. But it’s not too soon to start crafting for the holidays! Start out easy with our Festive Tags Kit. It includes everything for creating 15 gift tags in less than an hour. That’s right—15 tags in less than an hour! That’s because this kit comes with everything preprinted—no stamping. Just adhere the die cuts and stickers to the tags and add twine. You can add the tags to the gifts you are giving. Or assemble the whole stack and give the completed tags as a gift for someone else to use. Either way, these handcrafted tags will add a handmade touch to the holidays.
The Kits Collection by Stampin’ Up! makes creativity easy with a variety of projects, styles, and designs to choose from. You can create gorgeous projects without the pressure of starting from scratch. You can build your creative confidence with each successful crafting experience. And best of all, the cards and crafts you make are even more special when shared with a friend!

Item Quick-Add Feature
Adding items to your shopping cart is now easier than ever. In addition to browsing and adding items to your shopping cart, any online store user can add a product to their shopping cart by entering an item code into a field and designating a desired quantity for the item. This function is found in the shopping cart, and the quickest way to get to this is to click the shopping cart icon in the upper right corner of the site navigation. This works much like the current item entry method in Order Entry Express (OEX) but works for any user of the online store.
Displaying Products Available in Multiple Languages
The way the online store has displayed and filtered products with multiple language versions has left something to be desired—until now. Moving forward, the site will show you all products in your primary language (e.g., stamps, kits)—and all products that don’t have language options (e.g., ink, embellishments, tools, etc.)—together as the default product displayed within the category view you’ve selected in the Shop Products section of the main navigation menu. For example, if you click Menu > Shop Products > Shop All, you will see all products with the language designation that matches your primary language (e.g., if you’re a French-speaking Canada user your default is French) along with all products that don’t have language options.
This change is intended to clean up the presentation of products for most users, who are interested in seeing the items that most apply to them without having to sort through products available in languages they aren’t interested in.
To see products in languages beyond your primary language, use the “Language” section under the “Filter By” left-hand navigation in desktop view or by clicking the “Filter” button near the top in mobile view. Here’s how that menu functions to filter products for your viewing.



So happy you are checking out our August Paper Crafting Monthly Blog Hop with Independent Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from all over the world! Each demonstrator has created projects featuring punches! Below my card is a list of links to all of the participating bloggers.

My card features the Countryside Inn 12″ x 12″ DSP (#161467) punched with the Inked & Tiled Punch Pack (#161167)! The punches are a part of the Inked & Tiled Bundle (#161168). There is also the Inked Botanicals Suite Collection (#161172) and the DSP is a part of the Countryside Inn Suite Collection (#161474). The card base is Basic White with a layer of Countryside Inn DSP, and another layer of Basic White with six punched pieces of DSP on top of one more piece of DSP! A piece of Boho Blue 3/8″ Textured Ribbon (#161631) behind the sentiment from Waves of Inspiration (#158833) stamped in Night of Navy on a scrap of Basic White. Three Iridescent Rhinestones Basic Jewels (#158130) complete my card.
