Let Me Show You How .... to make a quick box treat ...


Welcome to my newest offering ... "Let me show you how".  As you'll hear in my video, I always have SO MUCH I want to show you ... and always think I'll do it when I have more time.  Guess what?  I NEVER have more time ... so from now on, when I have something I want to share I'll pop on live to my Tamara's Paper Trail FB page and do a QUICK 10-15 minute video where I ... show you how.  I will then pop over here and upload a QUICK blog post to "get 'er done" and so we all have a place we can go to find these little nuggets of inspiration and awesomeness!

So, on THAT note, let's kick this off with my first "episode".  Check out these awesome little gifts you can whip up in MINUTES!  They are great for host gifts, a customer thank you treat, a little sumthin for your teacher or hairdresser or even for craft fairs!  Check it out!




I love them SO MUCH!  ... and they are ridiculously quick and easy to make!  Check out my video below.


Do you love them??  Wouldn't YOU love to get one of these as a little gift from someone?  I know I would!

The products I used for these are listed below.  If you live in Canada and need to order anything, clicking on any of the pictures will take you to my online store.  The Hot Chocolate Bombs are from Costco.  You'll have to head there to scoop those! lol.

Thanks for popping in - I hope you like my new feature.  Have yourself a stampy day!

MCM Layout - Sept 25, 2023

 

Happy Wednesday!  Thanks for popping in!

I absolutely LOVE the Mystery Card Monday layout this week!  Although I've seen similar layouts on the internet, my main inspiration came from one of the Vegas card swaps I received last month, at BackStage.  It was made by Jill Blanchett and I just LOVED it.  Hers is the Christmas card, bottom right.  Check out the cards I made using her layout ...
My photo lighting is "off" - it looks foggy.  It's me, not you lol

This one is my favourite ... y'all know I'm TOTALLY loving the new Delightful Floral Designer Paper!


This is the card swap Jill gave me.  She used the Joy of Christmas Designer paper and embossed her Petal Pink pieces with the Merry Melody 3D embossing folder.  LOVE IT!
Here is the "recipe" for the layout.  Of course you can switch elements out and/or add others in.  you can emboss card stock strips or use DSP - it's up to you.  The layout is just the jumping off point.  Run with it!
If you want to see how to put it all together (and listen to my standard rambling about my life lol) you ca check out the YouTube replay below.  While you're over on YouTube, click "subscribe" to stay on top of my weekly videos.  I now stream live to YouTube every Monday night at 7:00 pm Mountain Time.
So there you have it.  Another MCM blog post DONE!  It's starting to become routine so here's hoping I can keep it up!

Below is a list of the product used to make the cards.  If you live in Canada and don't have a designated demonstrator I'd be honoured to be yours!  Clicking on any of the product pictures will take you to my online store.  If you have any questions just shout!

Thanks for popping in - have a stampy day!
