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...

A couple of things I've created:

-
Hi Everyone,
thanks for joining me again today 😊  I've been making up a couple of cards for specific occasions, the first one is for my manager at work, who's leaving to go and manage a new branch at the end of the week :(  However as the resident card maker I volunteered to create her leaving card, here it is:
I know she loves peacock sort of colours and pink, so after sorting through some of my old swap cards, I found some inspiration in a Bokeh card, I love the way it's come out (mind you I also love the effect of Bokeh photography!)  I hope I'm fairly safe posting it on here, as I don't think she follows my blog! (and it looks better in real life than the photo will allow me to show)
Just a close up of the balloon, I think the pearls really make it stand out, what do you think?
The other totally unrelated card/presie I've been working on, is for one of my friends Birthdays (admittedly I have missed the birthday now, but I'm getting together with her for lunch today, so I'll aim for this post to be viewed after......
I just couldn't resist giving her the 21 again dinosaur (she's the same age as me), I know she's a pink and purple girl......
And for her pressie, as it was something small, I didn't think it would look too fabulous wrapped in paper, so I found this box (Stampin' Up! used to sell them), and it was perfect size!  bit of decoration and Voila!


Admittedly using a couple of retired items (the petite petal punch, and blushing bride glimmer paper) but the larger punch Pansy Punch is still available, the ones on the top have a slit to the centre, so I could roll them up a little, so they'd sit up, umm makes me want to go and play some more....... lol
Ok well that's it, I'm off to my craft room for 20 minutes before I have to go out.

Hope this inspires you to create,
God Bless love
Heather

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...
