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...

Cookie Cutter Santa Tic Tac holders

Hi Everyone,
I bought a box of tiny tic tacs from Big W a while ago, thinking I'd put some into the kids stocking pressies, hadn't realised there was 62 of them in the pack! possibly a bit of an overkill for the kids stockings 😁
So in lieu of that thought we had our Christmas community meal at church last night so yesterday morning I thought I'd make up the tic tacs into little Santas, as I was given one by Veronica Koenig at the Stampin' Up! Onstage event in Brisbane as a swap, and only save a couple for the kids - lol

So here are some of my Santas:
and a close up of a couple:
Aren't they just so cute?  I even got Josh (Mr 11 year old) helping me out colouring in the Santa's, although admittedly I was doing something else for him at the time!
Anyway they were well received at Church (the kids thought the tic tacs were great, adults were intrigued by the packaging)

Just to give you the measurements so you can have a go:
take a strip of cardstock 10.5cm x 1.5cm, wrap it round your mini box of tic tacs, and secure the ends together, so the box can slide in and out.  then stamp Santa, using the Cookie Cutter Christmas Stamp set, Punch him out using the Cookie Cutter Punch, and an extra "person" from plain cardstock (I used Real Red and Basic Black)  Attach Santa on one side of your tic tacs and the other "person" on the other side of your tic tacs and you're all done 😊

Yay, Thankyou Veronica!
Hope you have been inspired to have a go yourself.
God Bless love
