There’s finally a little change in the air here in Middle Tennessee! The days are still warm, but once evening rolls around, you can feel that little chill starting to creep in. It’s the kind of weather that makes you want to pull out your favorite hoodie, sit around a bonfire, and sip a cup of hot cocoa. And for me, it definitely makes me want to fall craft!

I’ve been reaching for all those warm, cozy colors lately, and my go-to paper this year has got to be the Glow of Harvest Specialty Designer Series Paper from Stampin’ Up!

The colors just scream fall—Cajun Craze, Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Golden Glow, and Pecan Pie—with pumpkins, leaves, acorns, and florals throughout the designs. And that soft, pearlized shimmer catches the light beautifully without being overly sparkly.

For this group of cards, I wanted to show just how much you can do with one pack of DSP. Some cards let the paper do most of the work, while others feature embossing, die cuts, metallic accents, and lots of layers. I also did a fair amount of fussy cutting, turning flowers, berries, pumpkins, and leaves from the paper into embellishments. If fussy cutting isn’t your favorite, give it a try—take your time and be patient. The results really are worth it!

I also love how versatile these designs are. With a change of sentiment, I created birthday, thinking-of-you, friendship, and gratitude cards from the same pack. Let’s take a closer look!

A decorative autumn-themed card featuring a floral design, pumpkins, and the text 'I'm so grateful' on a warm red background, surrounded by fall decorations like leaves and pumpkins. — The ***Everyday Arches Dies*** create the perfect backdrop for this fall card, giving that gorgeous Glow of Harvest DSP plenty of room to shine. A few fussy-cut pumpkins, layered leaves, and touches of gold finish it off beautifully.

A handmade card featuring three decorative pumpkins and the phrase 'so grateful for you,' set against a light blue background with embossed leaves and a textured frame. — Did you notice the soft blue tint on these pumpkins? I colored the Glow of Harvest DSP with a **Cloud Cover Stampin’ Blends Marker** to completely change their look. It’s a fun reminder that you can color your DSP, too!

A decorative greeting card featuring colorful leaves and flowers with the message 'So grateful to have a friend like you' on a brown banner. — For this card, I let the Glow of Harvest DSP create the beautiful fall backdrop, then added dimension with layered foliage from the ***Fern & Flora Bundle.*** I love how the rich fall colors in those die cuts pull everything together—and that friendship sentiment makes this one perfect for sending just because.

A handmade greeting card with a floral design featuring the phrase 'thinking of you' in gold lettering, set against a background of autumn leaves and warm colors. — Sometimes the paper really can do all the work! I kept this card simple to let that beautiful Glow of Harvest DSP shine, then added a metallic “Thinking of You” sentiment created with the ***Classic Greetings Hot Foil Dies.*** A few gold accents were all it needed to finish the look.

A decorative birthday card featuring colorful floral designs, the words 'happy birthday' in an elegant golden font, and a textured background, set against a warm autumnal backdrop. — This birthday card is all about layers! I fussy cut the floral images from the Glow of Harvest DSP, layered them over an embossed background, and finished it with that gorgeous gold “Happy Birthday” sentiment from the ***Classic Greetings Hot Foil Dies***. Those tiny ***Golden Glow Butterflies*** add the perfect finishing touch!

Here’s the part I can’t believe: Glow of Harvest Specialty Designer Series Paper (168598) is STILL AVAILABLE!

This was the August 2026 Product of the Month, so I honestly didn’t expect it to still be hanging around this late in September. But it is—and if you missed it in August, you’ve got another chance!

Glow of Harvest includes 12 sheets—2 each of 6 single-sided designs—filled with fall florals, pumpkins, leaves, and acorns, all finished with that gorgeous fine shimmer. It’s beautiful for cards, scrapbook pages, and just about any fall paper-crafting project you have planned.

As a Product of the Month, you can purchase it for just $5 with an order over $75. It’s limited to one per customer and most importantly, it’s only available while supplies last. And at this point, I really would not wait. It could become unavailable at any time, so if you’ve had your eye on this paper—or you’re seeing it for the first time and falling in love with it—get your pack while you still can!
