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...

Twist'n'Pop Card tutorial done with A4 cardstock

Hi Everyone,
Well I am loving doing videos, I'd really like feedback on them too, if there's anything you feel I could do better (other than my somewhat precarious set up, which thankfully you can't see - might take a photo of it next time to show you 😊)  Tom (husband) has said he'll work on that one for me  (bless him...), so
Anyway, this is the card I show in the Video below:  I've been wanting to make these Twist'n'Pop cards for a while but they always use 12x12 cardstock in the video's and tutorials I've seen, and I'm really an A4 girl, so this is my version done with ONE sheet of A4 (cos I'm also quite stingy and don't like to waste paper) LOL.


Check out this Video I created for you to show you how it's done:
 
The measurements I have used are: 
Start with an A4 sheet, cut 2 sections of 8cm each from it
Take the remainder piece and score it in 1/2 at 10.5cm
One of the 8cm pieces, score in 1/2 (through the width) then each side in 1/2 again, so you end up with four equal sections 5.25cm each (which is concertina'd)
The other 8cm piece is scored in 1/2 down the length at 4cm, then mark in each edge at 6.5cm, and score diagonally between them

Anyway for a list of "Ingredients" used on this card:
I hope this inspires you to have a go, if it does, please post me a photo of your creation, I'd really love to see what others create with my template, and do please leave me a comment to let me know what you think of my tutorial.

God Bless love
Heather
