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...

Stampin' Up! Hostess Special till 31st October

-
Hi Everyone,
Stampin' Up! have a special stamp set FREE for anyone who hosts a party/workshop and the total orders are $450+.  This can be either placing an order of $450 yourself, gathering a few orders from your friends, or asking me to do a party for you!  As I needed to order a new Bigshot, I made up the rest of the order, and claimed my free stamp set, thought I'd share with you some of the cards I've been creating with it.
First up here is the stamp set, it's called Merry Patterns, and you can't purchase it, you can only get it free through the $450 order as I explained above.
It's a 2 step stampin' set, the candles have the insert bits, to colour them in as well as the flames (oh it's soooooo cool - and somewhat disappointing that this set will only be available for 2 months!)

However.... here are the candles used in a card, they are so easy to use, oh and really love the little pine bough stamp!
Next up I tried out the "tis the Season" image, along with the deer, again so easy to line up! (the snowflakes are from another set - Tags and Trimmings.
Then I thought the deer needed a card for itself :)
How cute is he wearing his little woolly jumper? this card also uses the new Year of Cheer Washi Tape.
And one last card.....
Had this card "base" sitting around on my desk for a while, so decided that the words would fit nicely under the die cut - and they did, Yea!  the Die cut is from Swirly Snowflakes Thinlit dies.
And I've just got to share with you the little blue dots I've put in the middle of the snowflakes, they are the Glitter Enamel Dots, and they're just gorgeous I'm not sure if this photo really does them justice though! these blue ones almost have an opal look to them.
Well that's it from me for now, do let me know if you're keen to get that Hostess only stamp set, and we'll see whether we can work out a way for you to get it!
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...
