Bee HappiLeaCraftin with Tamara

I can’t believe I never thought of this before...  I have thrown out so many!! Yup, this beautiful ornament is made from garbage!! 😃 You read correctly... GARBAGE! I am never throwing anything away ever again!! This is made from the ring of the double sided tape we all love to use! Whether it’s Tear & Tape, Scor Tape or Red Liner tape... DO NOT throw away the ring anymore!! I also used the Poinsettia Dies and various sizes of Circle Dies along with Real Red Braided Linen Thread and the Braded Pearls. Most are in the Poinsettia Place Suite. The shaky shakies are just from my stash.      This is going to be the Prize that I will give away at the end of October on my Facebook Page!! Head over to We Are HappiLeaStamppin with Tamara  and enter the draw, it super easy!! Everyone is welcome to enter, you don’t have to be a customer or someone who crafts... you just have to like my page and leave me a comment on any post! The more you comment, the better your chanc...

I am loving the Let It Snow Specialty DSP ! It has definitely been my "Go To" so far this Holiday Season !      This project isn't my design, I cased it from seeing Kathy King's of Paper Phenomenon! I am finding that I am LOVING A LOT of her projects and I have purchased a few of her Tutorials. They are absolutely amazing! I have said it once and I'll say it again... She is a Paper Crafting Genius!!      You will be seeing a few of her projects in the future but using Stampin' Up! products for decorating, I am a Stampin' Up! girl 😉 their products are just a great quality and I love being able to get EVERYTHING I need in one place!      If you are liking the Projects I have posted of Kathy's and you would like to try something of your own, visit her online shop by clicking HERE and just look at everything she has to offer! I mostly visit the Tutorials and watch the Final Review videos with each one. Just scroll down past the des...

     This is such an amazing project idea! Kudoos to Kathy Orta King for such an awesome project!! Well... all of her project are absolutely stunning! She is amazing!! She has tons of tutorial for purchase in her shop and I have purchased a few already 😬 I am maybe a little addicted... but she makes it so hard to not do her projects!      I have only made this one so far but I can definitely see more in my future 😉 I give out Gift Cards to my loved ones at Christmas so they can buy what they want so this project will be what I give them in! This one was a gift I gave to a friend already so I will have to make another one so I have it as a reference for making others!      This was such a fun project to make... can't wait to do other occasions as well! This one I gave to a friend after she said she wanted to WIN the Holiday Photo Folio I made as a give away on my Facebook page to those who comment on my posts. I thought that was a way ...

Here are the 2 smaller projects I did this September Long Weekend!      I am in LOVE with the new Stampin' Up! Let It Snow Specialty DSP... I will definitely be stocking up on this package! A plus is it will co-ordinate with the Retired Santa's Workshop Specialty DSP (from last year) for a project I have planned 😉  But on the this weekends projects!      The first one is what I am calling the Holiday Photo Folio with a Shaker Element! It is so cute!! I just love it 😁 Her's is Photo Mat Style 1 from her National Scrapbook Day 2018 Bonus Mats, it can be found in her Photo Mat Catalog which I purchased in her shop... PaperPhenomenon.com   she will be getting one or two of my paychecks 😂 I will be doing a few of her projects... they are absolutely phenomenal!!      She also has her own DSP but I am a Stampin' Up! girl so I did mine with our supplies... The new Let It Snow Specialty DSP is going to be a favorite of mine...

     This is a really simple project to make and I will have the dimensions listed below the video. The video is intended for my local gals but I wanted to try adding another video to my YouTube channel that now has 2 videos 😂 I am still learning the video thing so it will be a slow process and I am only propping my phone up on a drawer that is above my work station. I apologize for the terrible sound and the shuttering 😄   The dimensions for this are really quite simple...      The outside cover is cut to 10 1/2" x 7" (make sure if you have DSP with a direction, that it is the right way) and then scored with the long side at the top at 5" and 5 1/2"      The inside pocket is cut to 5 3/4" x 3 3/4" and scored on 3 sides (both short sides and the bottom) If you watch the original video done by Ann Melvin of Positively Papercraft , she did 2 pockets; one inside and one on the back. I didn't put the one on the back becaus...
