Sometimes a beautiful piece of Designer Series Paper doesn’t need much help to create a gorgeous handmade card. That was definitely the case with this card featuring the Glow of Harvest 12″ x 12″ Specialty Designer Series Paper, Stampin’ Up!’s August 2026 Product of the Month.

This paper is absolutely gorgeous in person. The subtle shimmer adds just the right amount of sparkle, while the warm autumn-inspired colours make it perfect for fall cards and so many other handmade projects. The Glow of Harvest paper features six single-sided designs and coordinates with Cajun Craze, Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Golden Glow and Pecan Pie.

For this card, I wanted to keep things simple and let the beautiful paper be the star.

I used a 4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Glow of Harvest Specialty Designer Series Paper as the main focal point. The shimmer in the paper catches the light beautifully and gives the card plenty of interest without needing lots of additional layers or embellishments.

I added a strip of Golden Glow ribbon and a few Golden Glow Flat Pearls for some coordinating sparkle.

The sentiment comes from the Exciting Times stamp set. I heat embossed it in gold on Early Espresso cardstock, which ties beautifully into the rich colours in the Designer Series Paper.

The result is a simple, elegant card that really shows how much impact you can get from a gorgeous piece of specialty paper.
