Something Saturday - Origami Envelopes

 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...

Sneak Peek Occasions 2017 - Lift Me Up

Hi Everyone,
Yes I'm back again with another Sneak Peek, This time from the new upcoming Occasions Catalogue (will be live on 4th January), if you've been in Pinterest recently this will be one you've definitely seen around, I've finally got around to playing with mine, and here are my first efforts:
And yes, now I can see why people like it so much, with this card I've used a piece of Watercolour paper behind, and washed over a bit of colour, the Up and Away thinlit dies come with sections to do the back of the big balloon, so you just add them behind it, and it colours your balloon for you, I've done a close up of the watercolour wash for you to check out:
Oh and the ribbon is new too :)
Ok so the other card I created for someone in particular so it will be winging it's way to her hopefully tomorrow!
This card also uses Suite Sentiments (also from the new Occasions Catalogue), that is a great set of words that mix well with all the different stamp sets in the catalogue.  I've used some of the gorgeous Blushing Bride Glimmer paper in this card behind the balloon (hand cut) and again a wash on the background although this time just onto the plain Vanilla cardstock.
If you don't have the new Catalogues yet, let me know and I'll get them out to you.
Hope this inspires you to create,
God Bless
Love
