A Little Autumn Glow with the Glow of Harvest Specialty Paper

There’s just something about fall cardmaking that feels warm, cozy, and inviting—and the Glow of Harvest Specialty Designer Series Paper makes it so easy to capture that feeling!

For this card, I wanted the beautiful shimmer of the paper to be the star of the show. The soft autumn florals paired with pumpkins, leaves, and acorns create a gorgeous seasonal background without overwhelming the design. The subtle shimmer adds just the right amount of sparkle and makes the card feel extra special when it catches the light.

I paired the paper with the Sweetest Words & Labels Bundle to create the sentiment focal point. The message, “The best kind of days are the days spent together,” seemed perfect for a fall card celebrating friendship, family, and those simple moments we enjoy together.

✨ August Product of the Month: Glow of Harvest

The Glow of Harvest 12″ x 12″ Specialty Designer Series Paper features beautiful fall-inspired patterns in warm browns, beige, soft orange, pumpkins, leaves, acorns, and florals. And that delicate shimmer? It adds such a lovely touch!

Even better, this is an exclusive product released for August and you can unlock it for just $5 with a $75+ order after discounts and rewards.

A few things to remember:

  • It’s available while supplies last.
  • It can sell out quickly!
  • It’s limited to one per customer.

If you love fall crafting, this is definitely a paper you’ll want to grab while it’s available!

🍂 Let’s Create Together!

I hope this card inspires you to pull out your favorite fall colors and create something beautiful. Whether you’re making cards for friends, family, or simply because you love to craft, a little autumn glow can make your projects extra special.

Watch the video to see how I put this card together, and be sure to let me know in the comments: What’s your favorite thing about fall cardmaking? 🍁

Kicking off Christmas in July

To kick off our Christmas in July, I am featuring the Pretty Poinsettia Bundle. Pretty Poinsettia Bundle – Elegant Holiday Crafting Made Easy

If you love creating beautiful handmade Christmas cards and festive gift packaging, the Pretty Poinsettia Bundle is a wonderful addition to your craft room! Whether you’re making elegant cards, gift tags, or holiday décor, this bundle helps you create stunning floral designs with ease.

The versatile stamp set lets you stamp a single poinsettia for a clean and simple look or layer multiple blooms, leaves, and pine sprigs for a fuller, more dimensional arrangement. The coordinating seasonal sentiments make it easy to finish every project with a heartfelt holiday greeting.

One of my favorite features is that this is a Two-Step Stampin’® set. Simply layer two or more stamped images to create realistic flowers with beautiful depth, texture, and color. It’s an easy technique that delivers professional-looking results every time!

The coordinating dies are just as impressive. As an Impressions Die Set, they emboss and cut in one pass, adding gorgeous detail and dimension without any extra effort. Your poinsettias and greenery come to life with beautifully embossed veins and crisp cut edges that make every project stand out.

If you’re looking for a bundle that creates timeless holiday cards with elegant dimension, the Pretty Poinsettia Bundle is sure to become a favorite. I can’t wait to share even more card ideas using this beautiful collection! 🎄✨

Today’s Hump Day lunch break combines this bundle with the 2026–2028 IN COLOR™ Gingham Gallery Designer Paper to make a beautiful non Traditional color Holiday card. You could even change it up to be a Birthday card!

Valley in Bloom

One of the featured projects from my New Product Party used the gorgeous Stampin’ Up! Valley in Bloom Suite — and I am completely in love with it! The coordinating colors are absolutely beautiful and work perfectly with one of my new favorite techniques: the Blackout Technique.

This technique may look fancy, but it’s actually pretty easy to create! Using the Floral Spray 3D Embossing Folder, blending daubers, and ink, you can make the embossed details pop in such a dramatic and stunning way. The rich colors against the dark background really make this card stand out and give it that wow factor.

If you love texture, bold color, and techniques that look impressive without being difficult, this is definitely one to try!
