Have you noticed that I share current promotions/news at the bottom of my blog posts? Be sure to scroll down especially today! Stampin’ Up! will be having a flash sale for new subscribers to Paper Pumpkin soon. AND… there are other great deals going on right now.
I was in the mood to play around with the Graceful Glass Designer Vellum recently. And I came up with a card that kept the see-through window look of this stain glass vellum. I’m excited to share!
I demonstrated this card in my latest Facebook Live broadcast this past Wednesday. Then I uploaded the recorded version of this video to my YouTube channel (since I know not everyone is ON Facebook). Be sure to watch the video (you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog), check out the measurements and full products list below, scroll through the close-up photos of this card and the other six similar cards, and then let me know if you have any questions.
Here are the measurements you’ll need if you plan to recreate the card I demonstrated.
Measurements…
Granny Apple Green Cardstock
5-1/2” x 8-1/2” scored at 4-1/4” then cut off from one end three strips: one that is 1” and two that are 5/8″ each.
Whisper White Cardstock
3-3/4” x 5”
Scrap for stamping and punching sentiment
Black Foil Sheet
Scrap for punching sentiment layer
Graceful Glass Designer Vellum:
Strip that is at least 1-1/2” x 5-1/2”
Products: See below for a full list of supplies linked to where you can find them in my online store.
And here are the other 6 versions of this card that I showed in the video.
Notice I colored the rhinestones in each card to match the colors of the flowers.
I made these other versions because I LOVE Coastal Cabana. The Glitter Enamel Dots come in Coastal Cabana, and wanted to try them out.
All my cards except this one include Whisper White on the inside. For this darker blue in Bermuda Bay, I used Coastal Cabana on the inside.

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.
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.
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.

I celebrated a huge milestone birthday last month and was thrilled to be showered with so many cards. Several of these cards were hand-crafted. And of those cards, there were many that were made with current (or at least very recent) Stampin’ Up! products. I thought I would share those with you today along with a couple of my hand-crafted 3-D gifts! So be ready for lots of creativity.
The person who made each card/gift is listed in the watermark of each photo.

I keep looking back at the photos from my Alaskan trip wishing I would’ve shared a few more with you when I posted on July 30th.
So today I thought I’d do that along with pictures of some of my favorite swaps I got!
Swapping is a great way to get new ideas and samples for classes, events and just inspiration. Check out this fun pencil case made by Sophie Prestrelle, a demonstrator from France! She posted directions with a how-to video here on her blog.
This swap by Linda Bauwin inspired my last Facebook Live Video/Online Paper Crafting Class project (my cute Monster Box) that I shared on August 18th. This is a link to Linda’s blog post where you can also find her how-to video.
Here is a fun one by Erica Cerwin. She shared it her Facebook Live broadcast that she posted here on her blog. This is totally the ideal birthday card for me this year. Because though I’m 50 now, I don’t feel “old” yet. I’ll take “retro,” though. (I LOVED my boom box from the 80’s.)
This card by Jeanne Moss is so super cute! I can’t believe that I have this bundle and haven’t created with it yet.
And now my question (especially after getting THIS beautiful swap) is WHY DO I NOT OWN THIS BUNDLE? Oh my goodness! This card by Krista Frattin is so pretty!
Here is a sweet 3-D treat holder by Renee Kohnke. Wouldn’t this be great for wedding favors?
I think this card by Pam McLean is so super pretty with all the little details she added in.
Here is a fun, cheerful card by Judy Garza. It looks like she could’ve used the Stamparatus. But I think she actually lined up those flowers perfectly on her own.
Here is a card that I loved before I knew it was my swap. (I took a photo of Mindy Gray’s card on the display boards, because I was so intrigued with her flowers.) It’s such a beautiful sympathy card.
My dear friend, Kay Smith made this cheerful swap.
Here I am on the ship with her and her hubby, Kevin. They just celebrated 50 years of marriage! Yay! 50 years is definitely a reason to celebrate. 🙂
This next swap is from Natalie Travis, another dear friend of mine who I also got a selfie with on the ship. She also took good care of me when my back was sore. Hugs to you, Natalie!!
I have more stampin’ friend pics below, but I suppose I need to focus on swaps first. I have five more still left to share!
This next one is genius! I love how Eldonna Epp took leaf images and created this poinsettia.
Oh my goodness!! Look at the amazing detail that went into THIS card by Jacque Williams. She’s an artist. I love everything that this gal creates.
Lynn Feldkamp is another demonstrator who always makes lovely cards and projects. I shared her Alaskan cruise card swap a few days ago on my blog. And yay for me!! I got her 3-D swap, too! Yes, this whole collection below was her swap.
Here is a lovely card by Zahra Premji. I love all the tiny details that she put into this swap.
This last swap card by Amy Storrie is so happy. It makes me want to keep hanging on to summer. I really love what she did with this suite of products.
As you can imagine, one of THE best things about being a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator is making friends from all over the world. And I love that I get to see many of these friends each year on these fun trips.

And this photo is of my husband and I with our friends, Silvia & Uwe Werner. We are on our balcony (which you can see is just below the Windjammer Cafe). Simone Bartrum who was in the floor below us took this photo for us.
We thought it was pretty fun that we had a room off the back of the ship that we could see from Windjammers. So one day after lunch, my son Luke had me wait while he ran down to our balcony so I could take his photo.
We loved our trip and keep reminiscing about all the fun we had. I probably won’t get by boys to take a sushi making class with me ever again,…
…but we made lots of great memories that we can treasure forever.
