I made a batch of these cards over the weekend. I made a total of 36 cards for the church birthday card ministry which will be enough for the full month. I wanted to use the Glow of Harvest patterned paper which is the August Product of the Month. I love the Fall theme of these papers and I hope the September birthday folks do, too. I pulled out some retired ribbon as an accent and I love how the two ribbons I chose go with the designs of the papers.
I used this very old sketch layout as the design inspiration for my card. I have used this layout a lot when I want to create something quickly that features beautiful patterned paper. The upper section is smaller in my card to give more space to the DSP. This way I can use a 4″ x 4″ piece of the patterned paper for each card which makes me happy because I use the full sheet of DSP.
The Glow of Harvest paper is absolutely stunning and my picture doesn’t do it justice. There is a pearlized finish to each of the papers which gives an extra touch that adds beauty. I mentioned earlier that this paper is the Product of the Month (POM) for August. This means that you can get it for only $5 when you place an order that is at least $75 (before tax and shipping). I just checked and confirmed that the product is still available, so if you want some you need to get it soon. Stampin’ Up!® offers the POM products while supplies last. If you want some you need to act quickly because none of us know when they will run out.
