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...

Card for June's Classes

-
Hi Everyone,
Yea! I'm organised enough to be able to post the cards that we'll be making in June, the dates for classes this month are Saturday 3rd June at 10am in Maryborough, Wednesday 7th at 10.30am in Kangaroo Flat, and Wednesday 7th June 7.30pm in Laanecoorie,    I'll confirm that in an email to everyone!  I'll also being going down to Geelong well Corio to be exact to do a class down there (that's on Monday 5th June) if you're interested in that class let me know and I'll contact the lady who's organising it to see how much extra space there is.

If you've missed the excitement, the new catalogue is going to be released on 1st June, therefore I have been able to use a heap of *new stuff* how exciting!!
 First up is this card using the new Daisy punch, and the Delightful Daisy Designer Series Paper (so you'll have a choice what goes down the bottom) and there is a lovely stamp set that goes with it too, which is what the saying and the tiny flowers are from "Daisy Delight stamp set".
 
Card #2 is this one using the Colourful Seasons Stamp set, and the Pretty Label Punch, I rather liked the way the flowers on the branch look a bit Japanese'ish', and we'll have fun creating the scallops on the side of the card (trust me......)

 Card #3 now we're mixing in some of the current stuff with new stuff....  there is this new set of 3 dies "Lovely Words thinlits", behind it I've used the Colour Theory Designer Series Paper, the pretty flower on the right is from a new hostess set called Feathery Friends (makes sense when you see the whole set, lol) and the saying in the left hand corner is from Thoughtful Banners and uses the Duet Banner Punch to cut it out (and yeah I finally got to link something to my store LOL! Oh currently the stamp set and Banner punch come as a bundle till 1st June, so you can get 10% off them with that!
Ok, we're up to the last card! wow doesn't time fly fast! again this is a mixture of new and old (having said that the "old" stamp set is actually new to me)  anyway, the saying is from Watercolour Words  (oh the computer and I are going to have all sorts of issues with how to spell colour - lol)  The other "old" thing is the Balloon bouquet Punch, then we move onto new stuff😀 Wood Words for the bits in the balloons and Seasonal Layer Thinlits for the chair.
The jury is out at the moment as to which is my favourite of these cards, although I'm veering towards the last one with the chair and #2 the Japanese'y' one, which are your favourites?

Oh and please could someone have another go at posting a comment on my blog as I still don't seem to have received any, and I'm a bit worried that my settings aren't right!  Thanks

I hope this inspires you to create,
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...
