Glowing Featured Stamper

 Hey Everybody,

Today's card is for the Featured Stamper challenge. Our featured stamper is Tisa. You can find Julie's challenge here.

Here is the card from Tisa's gallery that was my inspiration.

Here's my card: This designer series paper has a sheen on it and is a bit heavier than most designer series paper. It is one-sided.

I kept a horizontal card but used 4 strips of designer paper instead of three. The designer series paper I used is called Glow of Harvest. It is the Product of the Month for Stampin' Up!
When you purchase $75 you can purchase the product of the month for $5.00.
 I centered my design instead of off to the left. I stamped on designer paper and centered my sentiment on the card.  The punch is called Sign Design and is retired.
The stamp set I used is a new one coming out in the Sept.-Dec. catalog called, Thinking of You. I can't post a link until the catalog goes live in September.
 I dry embossed the designer series layer as well as the card base. The retired SU embossing folder I used is Damask Designs.  Then I added the streaked dots. They are retired as well, but wanted to use them up. This will go on a dinner tray at a local hospital.

Keywords: FS1019
Stamps: Thinking of You-Stampin' Up!
Paper: Stampin' Up!-Glow of Harvest designer series paper, cajun craze, early espresso
Paper Size: A2
Ink: early espresso
Accessories: SU-Sign design punch, SU-Damask Designs embossing folder, SU- Streaked Dots
Techniques: dry embossing, paper strips

Here is the Designer series paper.

Glow of Harvest Designer Series Paper

 Hey Everybody,

Let Your Fall Projects Glow with the Glow of Harvest Designer Series Paper


Glow of Harvest Specialty Designer Series Paper

Fall crafting is about to get a beautiful touch of shimmer!

The Glow of Harvest 12″ x 12″ Specialty Designer Series Paper is filled with warm autumn colors, graceful florals, pumpkins, and natural patterns that celebrate the abundance of the season.

What makes this paper especially lovely is its pearlized finish. When the light catches the paper, it adds a soft glow that can make even the simplest handmade project feel extra special. It is just enough shimmer to bring your fall cards and scrapbook pages to life without overpowering your design.

🌟 Stampin’Up! Product of the Month Special

I am especially excited to share that this gorgeous paper is the Stampin’ Up! Product of the Month for August!

That means you can get the Glow of Harvest Designer Series Paper for only $5 with a $75 purchase—while supplies last, starting in August.

This is such a wonderful way to add a premium specialty paper to your collection at an incredible value, but be sure to grab it early because once it’s gone, it’s gone!

So Many Creative Possibilities

The variety of patterns gives you plenty of options for your fall crafting.

The smaller, tighter patterns make beautiful backgrounds for handmade cards, scrapbook pages, and gift packaging. Let the paper do most of the decorating, add a greeting and a few embellishments, and your project is nearly complete!

The larger, more open designs are perfect for fussy cutting. Cut out individual flowers, leaves, pumpkins, or other seasonal images to create a detailed centerpiece for your card. Layer the pieces with Stampin’ Dimensionals to give your project even more depth.

Because the Glow of Harvest paper is photo safe, it is also a wonderful choice for preserving your favorite fall memories. Just be careful not to cover every inch with photographs—you will want plenty of that gorgeous pearlized finish to show!

Beautiful Projects for the Fall Season

This paper would be perfect for creating:

  • Thanksgiving cards
  • Fall birthday cards
  • Thank-you cards
  • Autumn scrapbook pages
  • Seasonal gift tags
  • Treat holders and gift packaging
  • Table decorations and place cards

Whether you prefer soft and elegant fall projects or rich, colorful autumn designs, the Glow of Harvest Specialty Designer Series Paper gives you so many ways to create.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Blessings,

Sue
