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...

Colour INKspiration Pre-Challenge

-
Hi Everyone,
I was invited to join a group called Colour INKspiration, which will be doing a bi-monthly colour challenge, the first (pre) one is for these colours:  Bermuda Bay, Daffodil Delight and Mint Macaron.

So off I went to my Craft room... (and an idea brewed.......)
I really wanted to be able to use this die from the So In Love bundle, but not cut with it, just use it to emboss, and this is what developed from that idea - I love it!  I've paired it with the Sale-a-Bration set Designer Tees, because I just love this saying "Don't quit your daydream".
The other thing I really love about this card is actually the way the paper has split slightly and it gives it that variegated colour, sort of reminds me of dyed silk:


So then of course I had to see if the other 2 dies in the set would look as good! first up came this one:
although I have to say the cutting out of it was bloomin' fiddly!, but I like it, I've used the matching stamp set So In Love with this one, wasn't too sure what to do with the curly leaf things, so had to refer to the catalogue for that one! Oh and I managed to stick to the same colours for it 😊,
Although for the last one, I really don't see hearts in those beautiful crisp colours!
So......
it had to be red!  this one's not my favourite, think I'm going to have to research in pinterest this one a bit more!  I do like the simplicity of the card though.
Thinking that the first card would make an excellent U-tube video, so stay tuned, hopefully tomorrow I'll get my precarious set up going, and give it a whirl 😀

Tell me which one is your favourite (please),
Hope this has inspired you to create (and maybe check out the video once it's done)

God Bless love

Something Saturday - Twisted Star Ornament

-
Image
 Hi there Creators I saw this cool star ornament in another video, and had a bit of a play around with it, ending up with this.... (with a retired Designer Series Paper) Then I ended up making this one (somewhat puffier 🤣) in the video with the current Natures Sweetness Specialty Designer Series Paper  Ok, to make this you'll need 16 strips of 15cm x 1cm Designer Paper & glue (I used tombow) Use 8 of the pieces for each side of the star, you twist them like a Breast Cancer ribbon, but with a small "head section" and have a gap of around 4cm at the free end, and around 4cm of the 2 free arms (if that makes sense, it should if you've seen the video!) you then glue 8 of the "heads" together to make the middle of the star then the tails glue together to form the points. once you've made up 2 of these, you then glue them back to back, adding a piece of twine into the last point If you missed the video here it is:  I hope this inspires you to create one t...

GDP #261

 Hi there Creators, The Global Design Project #261 challenge this week is a colour challenge: (check out the link to see what others have done)   So I thought I'd join in again, and try out a card type I've seen someone else show off recently  I know it would have been on one of the Stampin' Up! facebook pages, I can't remember exactly what she used, but I liked the 3D'ness of it 😄 and I have no idea what the card is called possibly Diorama card would work?  anyway I set to work trying to work out how she'd done it (although I suspect if I could re-find hers she'd probably already done instructions lol)  I always seem to take the hard way..... So here is my "take" on it using these colours.  The inside is the impressive bit..... The outside not so impressive, but check out that gorgeous Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper !  I've teamed it up with the Ornate Layers Dies , and the super soft ribbon from the Basket Weave & Metall...
