Something Saturday - Origami Envelopes

Image
 Hi There Creators, Guess what? it's that time of the week again for Something Saturday!😃 This week I happened to be scrolling through Facebook and came across this origami envelope quick video, so I have deciphered the video (you know how they do it and it's so fast!) And I've worked out if you do it with 12x12" cardstock you get an envelope worthy of a card, and a 6x6" piece gives you a gift card sized envelope. Here they are: then I'll try and explain how to make them...... This first one is made using one of the 12x12" pieces of  Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper and this smaller one uses one of the 6x6" pieces of Full of Life Designer Series Paper Now, how to create these envelopes: take your square piece of designer cardstock, and fold in 1/2 diagonally Open it up and fold one side in to the middle: then fold as shown: open up the bottom flap and fold in the sides fold up the bottom tuck the point bit inside the envelope (you might want t...

Bookcase Builder Sneak Peek

Hi Everyone,
well I snuck into my craft room today, to play briefly with a new stamp set - Bookcase builder, it's in the new upcoming Occasions Catalogue.
I'll show you the cards I created:
  


This was actually the second card I made, as it's name suggests it is designed to build bookcases!, and it wasn't this that I fell in love with, it was initially this saying, "I didn't know we were making Memories,  just thought we were having fun"  and even though at the moment I'm not huge on Project Life and scrapbooking, I could see myself using this saying in it (when I do get round to it)
The funniest thing is what I thought was a topiary tree in a pot, oops turns out it wasn't meant to be that, it's actually a lamp LOL (ah well..... also works as a little trimmed tree)
Then this was the first card I made, I love the full Congratulations, as so often it gets shortened to Congrats, and the other thing in this stamp set that made me buy it was the cute banners, they come as 2 separate stamps, where you stamp one, then the next one can be done in a different colour and it fits exactly, this saying is beautiful too: " Today's little moments, become tomorrows precious memories"  which I thought was quite suitable for a baby card.

I hope I have inspired you to turn your stamps upside down and create something new from them - LOL, and piqued your interest in the new upcoming catalogue, if you'd like a copy let me know.
God Bless love

  1. Love your cards Heather - I love this set and am surprised there aren't many examples of it yet - maybe its a slow burner.
