Hello Papercrafters,
Happy Monday! The weekends go by way too fast but I had a great start to this Monday, after getting my girls off to school I came home and got one video done and uploaded! I did make the effort to do them this weekend but went overtime on today's vid so I started over, after rolling raisins I'm too tired to get anything done, lol, and we are still not done, I can't wait till this job is completed, I was so sore and tired and in pain last week that I had to take a day to recover, lol, but now my body must be used to it, doing much better coping with it all.
For today I am sharing my standing box favor that I created for the hop, I will be sharing the other favors, my slide window card, and of course that really awesome tea candle combo card with box, the next video will be ready on Wednesday!
Here's a photo of today's favor......
and here's the video, Enjoy!
I shall return on Wednesday with another episode of papercraftsbytamara, lol, Have a great day!

Hello Papercrafters,
It's already Thursday and still I have not been able to get the videos done :/ It's been an extremely busy week, several dr. appt's for me and the kiddo's, plus it's harvest season and I have been having to help with harvest, I'm so sore right now it hurts to just sit and we are still not done. I am going to take the time this weekend to get the videos done and scheduled for next week :)
Since it's time for me to go I thought I would share a card I created with one of the owh sketches
and the inside
Thanks for stopping by, I promise I will get the videos done!
Have a great day!

Hello Papercrafters,
Happy Sunday everyone! Well it has been an exciting week here on my blog, with the Glitter Queens Hop and the WCMD OWH hop, there has been a lot of activity to say the least. It was fun as always but goes by so quick, fret not the Glitter Queens have a hop planned for the first week of November, so stayed tuned I will release the details as soon as I have them. I do know that the theme will be Christmas/ winter :)
Today I have another fall card to share before I announce the winner, I created it with our new dsp 'sweater weather' and the 'autumn accents' bigz, 'gorgeous grunge' stamp set, burlap ribbon candy dots, 'truly grateful' stamp set and vanilla cs.
I am so fond of the autumn accents using the 'sweater weather' dsp, I think they look so cool with the patterns.
And now onto the announcement you have all been waiting for :) the winner of my blog candy-

Hello Papercrafters,
Welcome back to Day 3 of our Glitter Queens Fall Hop! These hops always go by so fast but I love doing them so much, and I get so many great ideas.
For today I have a cool 3-d item that is a combo card, tea-candle holder and box, all in one, I think they are going to make fabulous gifts and I can't wait to make more. I found a tutorial for them while surfing the web although now I cannot remember who the creator was :/ but I wrote down the instructions and made my version for fall.
I created the box with 'sweater weather' dsp, and the 'truly grateful' stamp set from the holiday mini, plus I used the autumn accents bigz, gold emboss powder and come candy dots.....I love the dots! :) plus I used a framelit from the 'labels' collection, the 'gorgeous grunge' stamp set and little leaves sizzlit.
After I assembled the box together I randomly rubbed versamark on the top then added gold embossing powder and heat embossed, after that I used some sandpaper to distress it a bit.
Once you open up the box you see the card/tea-candle holder, isn't it awesome, it's a gift and greeting all in one, it holds 3 tea-light candles, ( I got some really fragrant candles at our local 1.00 store)
I made a curly clip out of wire to hold the card front closed, the cute clips from our IBC would work great but I didn't have any......when you remove the clip it opens where there is room to add a sentiment or write a note.
I love 3-d projects and I think this one is fabulous, I hope you liked it too, I have a Christmas version in the design stage right now :) For anyone interested I will be creating a video of this project with Christmas dsp, although it will be a couple weeks before it is ready.
Remember to follow and comment for a chance at the 'magnificent maple' stamp! Winners will be announced on Sunday! I also want to invite you join me and hundreds of other card makers for the Operation Write Home Hop Saturday the 5th of Oct. Have a great day!
Now time to check out De's Blog......
Hello Papercrafters,
Welcome to Day two of our Fall themed Hop, my fellow demonstrators created some fabulous projects for day one can't wait to see what they have for day two :)
For today I have some favors to share, I like creating them and they are great little gifts for teachers, co-workers, & friends. I used very vanilla cs for my base then used our burlap ribbon, 'sweater weather' dsp, and the autumn accents bigz to decorate them.
There was so much interest in the favors I made for the last hop that I have videos planned showing how I created these favors, hopefully I will have those ready next week.
Thank you for stopping by today! I hope you are enjoying the hop, don't forget to follow and leave a comment for a chance at some blog candy! And now on to the next stop........
Hello Papercrafters,
Welcome to Day One of our Glitter Queen's Blog Hop! Our theme this month is Fall, and it's really beginning to feel that way around here, our weather has cooled down, a lot, which puts me in the mood for fall creations. I have something different planned for every day of the hop so be sure to come back for days 2 and 3! Today I have two cards to share, I used several new items from the holiday mini to create them.
For my first card I used a base of very vanilla and then used the dsp 'sweater weather' to create the banner pieces, I added them to the base then stamped with versamark and the 'gorgeous grunge' spotty stamp and heat embossed with gold. To create the leaf I used the 'autumn accents' bigz sizzlet, then I carefully cute the corner leaf square then added a different pattern dsp to the back, it looks as if it was framed. To embellish I added a little clip to the leaf piece and a 'in color boutique detail' to the corner.
On the inside I just added one of the autumn accents leaves.
I'm not sure why the color is so blue on this inside photo, because it really is very vanilla, just had a lighting problem, sorry about that.
For my second card I used a base of 'early expresso', I added some coordinating dsp from the 'sweater weather', then I added some of the burlap ribbon, the framed focal point was made with the 'peekaboo frames' bigz, (this item was carried over) then with some cs, stamping and a little glue and ribbon, a sliding window with a hidden sentiment is created........now I cannot take full credit for this, it was cased from Julie Davison and she said she saw a version at convention so thank you Julie..........but I did change it up a bit with my cs, dsp and the stamps, I love this and I can't wait to try some other versions :-) I also used the 'autumn accents' bigz & the' truly grateful' stamp set.
If anyone is interested in seeing how this card was created I can create a video, just let me know in your comments! Speaking of comments, if you follow my blog or start following and leave a comment during the hop Oct 2nd-4th you will be entered into the drawing for my blog candy!!! I have the 'magnificent maple' stamp ready and waiting for a winner, just in time for some fall projects!
Thank you for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed my cards, tomorrow I have some favors to share, hope you stop by.............De is next, hop on over and see what goodies she has for today!
Just in case you get lost on the way here are all the hoppers......
