On September 22nd I shared a tutorial video for my “DSP-Saver Card.” I hope you saw it. In that video I shared all sorts of projects that were in my presentation at the Creative Connections event on September 16th. There were a TON of projects and thus a TON of photos. I finally had time to edit, watermark and upload them all. Yay!

• Click here to see the project photos and video that I posted on September 22nd.
• Click here to see the Vertical Stretch fun fold cards that I shared on September 25th.
• Then look below to see photos of (and read a couple tips on) the rest of the projects that were in my Creative Connections presentation.

These first three cards are ones that are related to the DSP-Saver card that I instructed how to make in my video.

A big thanks to fellow demonstrator, Marciene Ingram who gave me this pretty birthday card below which led to me designing all the other versions above!

The Frosted Floral designer paper is super pretty especially in person because it shimmers. So it just makes sense to make these elegant gift bags with them. Click here for a tutorial on how to make a bag like this.

Our Clear Tiny Treat Boxes hold 6 to 8 Ghirardelli chocolates. I discovered that when I needed to fill the one I made with the August 2018 Paper Pumpkin kit.

This is the one I made with the contents of the August 2018 Paper Pumpkin kit.

Here are a couple more cards I put together using 1-1/2″ x 1-1/2″ squares of the Frosted Floral designer series paper (DSP).

I sponged on and stamped on Shimmer Paint on the Night of Navy cardstock. 🙂

This flower’s petals come from the leaves in the Iridescent Wreaths.

And here is the card that inspired me to make the two above. This one below as a make-n-take at my upline, Susan Campfield demonstrator event.

I didn’t make these next two “joy fold” cards below, but I’m happy I got them as swaps from Carol Lucas. They were fun to share during my Creative Connections presentation.

And these last two cards that I made just show how you can stray from the designer paper in the suite AND the colors from that designer paper in the suite to give the stamp images a whole new look. These products are so versatile!

Sorry I don’t have details for every card/project shown above. But sometimes I just have to flood you with lots of ideas! I hope you didn’t mind.

We celebrated my oldest turning 13 yesterday. (Can you believe it?! He was only 7 when I first started blogging.) My goal was to share my September 2018 Paper Pumpkin kit alternate ideas with you today, but I didn’t finish editing my video yet. I’m crossing my fingers that my projects and video will be up tomorrow though. Please come back to see what I created with the Frights & Delights kit.
