When Stampin’ Up! launched Shimmer Brushes earlier this year, I was excited! Safe glitter is what I like to call these as well as Wink of Stella! The fact that these have color in them, makes them even more fabulous and fun to add color, detail, and a hint of shimmer!
The card on the left is beautiful for sure but the card on the right has that hint of color and shimmer that takes it up a notch!!! Get out your Shimmer Brushes and let’s make some fabulous cards!
CARDSTOCK: Crisp Cantaloupe Cardstock (card base): 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ Timid Tiger Cardstock (panel): 3-1/2″ x 4″ Very Vanilla Cardstock scraps (for die cuts) Very Vanilla Cardstock (sentiment): 5/8″ x 3″
Fold the 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ Crisp Cantaloupe Cardstock at in half to create the card base.
Stamp the leaves with the Elegant Leaves Stamp Set on the 3-1/2″ x 4″ Timid Tiger Cardstock panel in Timid Tiger ink. Adhere it to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals!
On the Very Vanilla Cardstock scraps, stamp one leaf in Timid Tiger ink and another in Golden Glow ink. Die cut those leaves with the Elegant Leaves Dies and two others from Very Vanilla Cardstock. Adhere them to the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals!
Die cut the detail leaves from the Elegant Leaves Dies in Very Vanilla Cardstock scraps, color them with Golden Glow and Crisp Cantaloupe Shimmer Brushes, and adhere them on top of the other die-cut leaves.
Stamp the sentiment from the Elegant Leaves Stamp Set in Golden Glow ink on the 5/8″ x 3″ Very Vanilla Cardstock. Trim the ends at an angle and adhere it to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Add Painted Patch Dots as desired!

The September 2026 Paper Pumpkin Kit was called Aspens of Gratitude! These cards are just stunning and rather simple I thought! Wondering what Paper Pumpkin is?!?! It is a monthly subscription kit with a craft project and everything needed to create it all in a fabulous box. These kits are typically cards but sometimes include treat boxes, home decor, etc. Sign up by the 10th of the month and you will receive that month’s kit!
These cards are very masculine to me so I kind of wish there was a birthday greeting in the set! I always need masculine birthday cards! These greetings of beyond grateful and you are in my thoughts are fabulous too! Perfect happy mail cards to send in the Fall and Winter! Honestly the card on the left would make fabulous Thanksgiving Cards!
I felt like these cards were very easy to assemble! They used a million Stampin’ Dimensionals and you all know I always do anyway so it was perfect! The tricky part was lining up the frame to fit the edge of the cards. I almost wish there was a hint of a border so that it didn’t have to line up perfectly without falling off! So my tip to all of you is be careful putting that piece on!!! 🙂 You got this!!!
Let me know which card from the Aspens of Gratitude Kit is your favorite in the comments below! Be sure to get signed up for the October Paper Pumpkin before the 10th by clicking here!

There is sooooo much fun foil on this card to create a shine like no other! The Designer Paper is foiled with the Swiss Dots and then the numbers and greeting are also foiled! WOWZA! Some may say it’s a bit too much or would take too long! I might agree to that and would maybe nix the Swiss Dots but foil the rest or mix it up and foil just the greeting! It’s so much fun to take a card and make it your own!
Check out the supplies listed below!!! Don’t forget that all order placed starting at $40 earn special rewards from ME!
The August 2026 Paper Pumpkin Kit was called Kindred Greetings! It was a fun and pretty kit but I can’t say it is high on my favorites list. This is mostly due to the subtle colors. What did you think?!?
This card was my favorite one for sure! I love that pop of blue and a simple Hello card can be used for so much! I send lots of random cards just to say thinking of you or I know you had a tough week or just to say hello because the person is older and possibly lonely. Everyone loves #happymail! I will be honest and say that the reason the “Friend” greeting isn’t on there is because I couldn’t find the little white rectangles when I was making this. By the end when I did find them I decided I liked just the hello!
This card is my second favorite! I love that beautiful cut out and the ombre coral. The greeting is so heartfelt and warming too! The twine is barely seen in this photo but does give good texture to the card! Also, did you notice that the envelopes match each of the cards?!? How fun is that?!?!
This one is my least favorite mostly because of the dull color. I love the greeting and that fun floral is cool! It is stamped in the background and then there is a die cut leaf over the top. Super fun look but it’s just gray and blah for me! I need a pop of color or some bling!
What did you think of the Kindred Greetings August 2026 Paper Pumpkin Kit?! Wondering what Paper Pumpkin is and how you can get it? It is a monthly subscription kit with a craft project and everything needed to create it all in a fabulous box. These kits are typically cards but sometimes include treat boxes, home decor, etc. Sign up by the 10th of the month and you will receive that month’s kit! If you signed up now, you will get the October Paper Pumpkin Kit! Click here to sign up! These kits are great for the Fall and Winter time when we are inside more and they make fabulous gifts! Since they come with everything you need and instructions, anyone can get a box and enjoy crafting right away!
Say what? No line watercoloring is just that…..coloring with watercolor but there are no lines! It’s okay! Blew my mind too!!!
The Thinking of you card has such a soft look to the flowers rather than the bold flowers in the Enjoy card. Which do you prefer?!?
Detail and no-line watercolor uses very light outlines, often stamped in pale ink like Petal Pink or Basic Beige! Pro tip: Want a lighter outline? Stamp off once and then onto your project! This creates a soft, hand-painted look without harsh borders. Slowly add color around the image to create the watercolor flower! Using different colors and tones, you can add texture and depth as each layer dries. Hello professional watercolor-er!!! (That is not me! LOL) Finish with subtle details and darker accents to define shapes and add dimension without relying on heavy outlines.
Now for the Enjoy card which is more my style! The flowers were stamped in Black for that defined outline and then colored in!
Give them both a try – no line watercoloring and lined watercoloring! See which one you like better! Let me know in the comments if you have any tips on either one! Coloring isn’t exactly my expertise. LOL
