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...

Petite Cafe Gift Bags

Hi Everyone,
Well I thought I would share my "teacher" gifts.  I have seen on Pinterest and Facebook people using these Petite Cafe Gift Bags and decorating them up, popping fudge or biscuits into them (because they have a special lining in them so they are food grade).
So....... I thought I can do that, found a cool recipe for Bailey's Fudge (yumm) checked none of the teachers were tee totallers!
And here we are:  
Here is a closer look at of one of the bags:

and the
 Whisper White 
  Mini PomPom 
 trim, I have really got into now! I've just attached it with some of the tear and tape adhesive, which I've folded back onto itself to make it fit.

I have used the Peaceful Pines Stamp set and matching framelits to cut out the tree

The other side of the bag looked a bit plain, so.............
I found a bit of pretty Designer Series Paper (sorry it's a retired one now), cut into a 6" by 8cm piece, then another piece of the gold foil cardstock, cut with the Banners Framelit dies
and Layered with a white piece (again cut with the same dies)

I'm pretty pleased with the way the bags turned out, and the fudge isn't too bad either!

Hopefully the teachers (and bus drivers) enjoy it :) If I was a better cook I probably would have tried this out ages ago! LOL

Ah well hopefully I've inspired you to have a go at decorating a bag with some goodies in it!  You can purchase these bags by clicking on the link 😊

God Bless love
