Hello Papercrafters,
With the fall weather here and the holidays looming in the distance, I have begun making bows for my Christmas packages. Stampin'Up! has a really awesome kit in the current holiday mini that has the supplies to create 10 bows, 5 large and 5 small, they are double sided for more options when to create them. They come on perforated paper and are very easy to take apart and put together. Earlier in the week I posted a photo and a video showing my stepped up version of the large bow, today I have a video showing my stepped version of the small bow! You can order your kit from my shop Pretty Presents designer bows # 132186 just $3.95!
I really love this kit and I plan on getting another one I want to make lots of them for the holidays!
Here is the bow......
and the video........
Coming up next week Oct 2, 3, & 4 I will be participating in another Glitter Queens Hop!!! So please come back by next week, our hop projects will all be Fall inspired, I have my projects ready and I can't wait to share!
Thank you for stopping by I hope you enjoyed the video :) please tell your friends! You can also subscribe to my you tube channel..........papercraftsbytamara then you will know when I create a new video!
Have a wonderful day!

Hello Papercrafters,
Well I finally managed to get the video ready for viewing that I promised.....my apologies to anyone who came by expecting it sooner, but I had a tooth that just decided out of the blue to start aching which was because of infection, I found out when I went to the dentist :( well now I have the medicine to take care of that, and the bad ache has gone but the tooth has to be pulled and lucky me it has really long roots so I have to go back to get it done when they have more time set aside. Boo hoo I am not looking forward to that at all, they are talking surgical removal which means they are cutting into my gums :/ major bummer.
Anyway that's why I'm so late with my post, good news is I have another video ready for Wednesday.....it's my stepped version of the small bow from the Pretty presents kit. If you haven't gotten one of these bow kits yet well you don't want to miss out, you get 10 total in the kit each is double sided, 5 are small and 5 large for only $3.95! I love them and I want another kit to try some other stepped up versions................get them here at my SU shop!
Here is a photo of theLarge Bow after being stepped up
Sorry the color is not quite right in the photo, I had to take it at night.....here is the video............Enjoy! and be sure to stop by for the small version!
Thank you for stopping by, have a great day!

Hello Papercrafters,
Happy Wednesday!, as promised I am back with a new post, I have the video ready of this quick and easy Halloween card ready for viewing! Yea, now that I have done several videos I see that they quite alot of work, although I do enjoy making them, however I am still in the process of learning how to edit them, learned some trimming and splicing yesterday, next I will learn to add text, I will keep tweeking them to get the best possible video for my viewers.
Here is the card I will demonstrate:
And here is the video:
I hope you enjoyed the video, be sure to stop by tomorrow.....I have a Birthday card to share and I have a new video for Friday!!! Stepped-up Bows! This is a super fun, fast and easy project, please stop to see!
Have a great Wednesday!

Hello Papercrafters,
Happy Monday to you all, I am so happy our weather is taking a cool down this week, tomorrow it's supposed to start cooling down into the 80's!!!, yeah that is cool for us :-)
This morning I signed up to chaperone my daughter to 6th grade camp :0 it's a 3 day tour, lol, but seriously it's going to be fun and I am looking forward to it, and needless to say my daughter is so excited! They have been selling cookies and tri-tip sandwich lunches to earn the rest of the money they need to attend, I am so surprised at her saleswomenship, lol, she sold a whole box of cookies while on the bus ride home her first sales day! Yep she's awesome :)
With the change in weather of course there will be a change in projects, yep the fall inspired projects are being developed. Today I have a greeting card I created using the new burlap ribbon, love this ribbon and it's perfect for fall, I also used the 'Truly Grateful' stamp set and 'sweater weather' dsp from the holiday mini and I used the 'Gorgeous Grunge' stamp set from the IBC.
For embellishing I used some of our 'candy dots' from the brights,in the upper right corner, and a button from the regals with some linen thread. To cut the leaves I used the 'Autumn Accents' Bigz die then I used a dauber to add some color to the edges.
Thank you for stopping by today, I have to be off I have a busy day ahead, errands to run this morning and I have to pick up my girls from school and head to a dental appointment.
We have another Glitter Queens hop, fall inspired, coming up the first week of October, so be sure to watch for the details, I will share when I find them out. I will be back on Wednesday with a new post and a video, so please stop by!
Have a wonderful day!

Hello Papercrafters,
It's Friday!, yea I'm so ready for the weekend, I just noticed today is Friday the
13th, hope it's a great day for all! I have an aunt who was married on a Friday the
13th and she has always considered it good luck, so that's how I look at it.
I'm beginning to notice a little change in the weather, I'm so glad I am looking forward to fall, I
love the weather around here that time of year and the fact that it's the beginning of the holiday
season, the way it goes from Halloween to Thanksgiving to Christmas it seems like a season.
I have another video to share with you today, the card I am demonstrating was one I
created for a color challenge the colors are island indigo, gumball green and whisper white,
I misspoke during the video and said I used very vanilla but it's all whisper white :-)
I liked the way it turned out so well that I thought I would create a video. Here's the card
and the video........
Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
Please stop by again soon I have many new projects in the works that I will be sharing, videos too!

Hello Papercrafters,
This day has just flown by, I was planning on getting this posted earlier in the day but sometimes, what am I saying, lol, often the day doesn't go as planned. Oh well, now dinner and most of the homework chores are done so while everyone is outside getting some exercise for a bit I'm taking the opportunity to post my card :)
I have a Halloween card to share today, the Halloween themed hop kind of got me in the mood plus I have a Halloween themed swap coming up, but I've pretty much used up one package of 'witches brew' dsp....so I need to order so more for classes and video's.
Today's card was made using the 'Halloween hello' set, plus I used the woodgrain embossing folder, and the 'witches brew' dsp
For the edging I used a border punch, if you didn't have that particular punch you could use pinking shears to get the same effect.
The bat was cut out by hand, we do not have a punch for it.
My orange cs base was textured, which is why the sentiment has that look. This greeting really goes together quite quickly, I have a video in the works to demonstrate how I created it, it's scheduled to go live next week.
Thank you for stopping by, I will be back Friday with a greeting card and it's video, it's a card I recently designed for a challenge, so come back and see what is new in my crafty corner!
Have a great day!
Tamara
