You may have heard the latest that Stampin' Up! is making some changes to their Demonstrator Comp Plan.

While there are some updates for demonstrators, I want to reassure you that so many of the things you love as customers are not changing!

Your customer experience is not changing.

Stampin' Rewards are not changing.

The beautiful, high-quality Stampin' Up! products are not changing.

The reasons to join Stampin' Up!—whether as a hobbyist or to build a business—are still just as meaningful.

My commitment to serving you is not changing.

I'll still be here creating cards, sharing stamping techniques, introducing exciting new products, and planning fun classes. I'll continue cheering you on, answering your questions, and helping you enjoy this wonderful hobby.

And perhaps most importantly...I'm not going anywhere!

As long as God allows me, the plan is to continue being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator (as I have for the past 37+ years). The stamp community has been such a blessing to me, with many friendships, and I'm excited to keep creating, teaching, and making memories with all of you.

AUGUST PRODUCT OF THE MONTH: GLOW OF HARVEST SPECIALTY PAPER

     

Glow Up Your Fall Projects with August’s Product of the Month: Glow of Harvest! Available Tuesday, August 4th!

Yay!!!, it’s that time again — a new Product of the Month has landed, and this one is glowing (pun 100% intended). Say hello to Glow of Harvest, our gorgeous 12″ x 12″ Specialty Designer Series Paper (168598), and let me tell you, it’s the autumn glow-up your craft space has been waiting for.

What's In the Package??  It includes 12 sheets: 2 each of 6 single-sided designs, all dressed in a comfy Fall colors -- Cajun Craze, Crumb Cake, Early Express, Golden Glow, and Pecan Pie.  Think warm honey tones, soft cream backgrounds, and just the right amount of pumpkin-spice energy.

Let's Talk About That Glow

Here’s what makes this paper truly special: it has a pearlized finish that adds the loveliest shimmer to every single page. Seriously, it catches the light in the most magical way and instantly elevates whatever you’re making — cards, tags, gift boxes, you name it.

And because it’s acid and lignin free (aka totally photo-safe), this paper is a scrapbooker’s dream. Go ahead and celebrate abundance by filling your layouts with all your favorite fall photos! Just… maybe don’t go too photo-happy. Cover up too much of that pearlized shimmer and you’ll lose the magic that makes this paper so special. Balance is key, friends — let the paper shine too. 

Tight Patterns, Loose Patterns, Endless Possibilities

One of my favorite things about this collection is the variety of pattern scales:

• The tighter, busier patterns are perfect as gorgeous background papers — layer them behind your focal image and let them do the heavy lifting.
• The looser, more open patterns are absolutely made for fussy cutting. Snip out those individual florals, leaves, and pumpkins to create stunning dimensional centerpieces that pop right off the page.

It’s basically two paper collections in one — background-ready and fussy-cut-friendly, so however you love to craft, Glow of Harvest has you covered.

Get It Before It’s Gone!

Just like every Product of the Month, this one is here for a limited time only. Snag Glow of Harvest for just $5 when you spend $75 or more in a single order. That’s a serious steal for a paper this pretty — but once August wraps up, it’s gone for good, so don’t wait!

1. Log in to your Stampin’ Up! account (or create one — it’s quick and easy).
2. Add your favorite products to your cart and reach at least $75.
3. The Glow of Harvest Paper  will appear as an add-on option for just $5 (Beginning August 4).
4. Add it to your cart and check out!

One important thing to keep in mind: the Product of the Month is available while supplies last and is limited to one per account. Once it’s gone, it’s gone — so don’t wait on this one.

Shimmering Web of Fun Card

It's hard to believe that Halloween will soon be here--Costco already has costumes and displays!  Here's a cute card created by Mary Deatherage that uses spiders in a non-spooky way.  

This card is sparkly and non-scary that could be used for any occasion you want to celebrate.  It uses both Shimmering Stripes Specialty DSP (back layer) and 2026-28 In Color Pearlized Paper (web), both in the July Online Exclusives. 

Begin by adhering a 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" piece of Shimmering Stripes to a Secret Sea mat that's just a bit larger.  Adhere to Berry Burst as your card base.

Using the large Web of Fun die, cut out a Barely Blush web from the Pearlized Paper and adhere it to the card front with little dabs of Liquid Glue.

Cut out a little banner out of Pearlized Paper, using the die in the set.  Cut out "BOO" in Berry Burst and adhere to the banner with Liquid Glue.  Use Black Dimensionals to adhere it to the card front.

Cut out three of the cute spiders out of Secret Sea and adhere to card front with Black Dimensionals and the card is almost done.  Don't forget the inside can use a stamped spider web and spider!

Framed Violets Card

Good Morning---I'm finding that I'm drawn to projects using Stampin' Up!'s purples (Highland Heather, Gorgeous Grape, and Hydrangea Hue).  This card uses products from the Violets Dream Suite.  The DSP is beautiful and is the center-piece of the card.  Thanks to Weyermann's Whimsey for the inspiration.

The first layer on the card base is DSP, but the next layer is stamped and then the edges are scraped with open scissors to create a roughed look.  The flower center is die cut with the oval die using DSP.  Layer it onto the scallop die (included in set) cut out of Gorgeous Grape.  Add some Peaceful Pine ribbon and rhinestones and you've got a great-looking card.  It's ready for whatever sentiment you need to add.
