One Sheet Wonder, My Way

August Product Of The Month, Glow Of Harvest Designer Paper!

Our August 2026 Product Of The Month has been a huge hit and I’m thinking the paper pack will probably be sold out soon. Did you know quite a few months ago, Stampin’ Up! started offering a Product Of The Month (POM) and the products are always while supplies last? Some of the POM’s have sold out in the past so I always tell me customers not to wait.

The product of the month works this way:

• New Product Of The Month announced the first week of each month.
• Place a $75 order and pay only $5 for the Product Of The Month.
• Available while supplies last.
• If a Product Of The Month does not sell out, it will stay in the Online Store and carry over month-to-month.
• Limit one product of the month per customer account for the current Product Of The Month.
• You can qualify for a past Product Of The Month in the same month with another qualifying order.

Here is a close-up look at the paper patterns in these photos, plus project ideas. I plan on CASING these ideas so look for those soon!

It’s hard to see in the photos above, but the sheets have a pearlized fine shimmer finish to them. It’s subtle but oh so pretty. The colors included on the prints are: Cajun Craze, Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Golden Glow, Pecan Pie.

The first thing I decided to do to show off one of the sheets, is to use a ONE SHEET WONDER. If you’ve never heard that before, it means we use one 12 x 12 sheet cut in a certain way and try not to waste any of it. You’ll notice below that I was able to create 8 cards, all using the designer paper cuts I made, as a layer in some way and I’ll explain each card individually:

First let’s cut a 12 x 12 designer paper into layers. You can choose one sheet of 12 x 12 Designer Paper of your choice, and follow the four steps I have outlined below:

1. First, start at the left of your 12 x 12 sheet and cut at 4″ vertically. Your cut strip should measure 4 x 12. Cut this strip into 4 pieces to measure 4 x 3 each.
2. Next, make a 2nd cut with the DSP sheet at 3″ vertically. Your cut strip should measure 3 x 12. Cut this strip into 3 pieces to measure 3 x 4 each.

Next, using the leftover DSP sheet, make one more cut:

• 3. Make one last cut using the remainder of the DSP sheet at 1-3/4″ vertically. Your cut strip should measure 1-3/4 x 12. Cut this strip into 2 pieces measuring 1-3/4 x 5-1/4. You should have one tiny rectangular piece left over that we will not use.
• 4. With the left-over last section of the DSP sheet, use the Rounded Rectangular Punch to cut 10 punched rectangular layers. I cut two rows of 5 on the long side. If you do not have this punch, the rectangles measure 2-1/8″ x 1-1/2″.

Now let’s create 8 cards: I needed birthday cards so all of my cards use the same sentiment and the additional products I used are:

• Stamps: Sentiment from Scalloped Blooms
• Cardstocks: Early Espresso, Golden Glow, Cajun Craze, Crumb Cake, Pecan Pie, Basic White
• Inks: Early Espresso
• Tools & Accessories: Rounded Rectangular Punch, 2″ Circle Punch, Antique Pearls, Stampin’ Dimensionals

My first set of 2 cards are identical with the following layers:
