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...

BIG THANKYOU to you all !

Hi Everyone,
I just wanted to share something with you all that I found out today.  Because of all you, my lovely customers and my amazing Team (The CreateAbles), when Stampin' Up! released the Top 50 Performing Achievers in Australia, I am in it!! ranked at #41.

I am absolutely blown away with this news, and I know that I couldn't have done it without all you guys, so I want you all to know how much I appreciate every one of you 😊

Some of you will know that I went down the Stampin' Up! event in Melbourne over the last weekend (it's called OnStage, and available to Demonstrators only).  I was privileged enough to be included in the Leadership session on the Friday evening, where we had some useful training and a lovely meal, thought I'd show you some photos of my time away:)

 So here I am at the evening session called Centre Stage (obviously very excited) lol
 On our tables we had this amazing decoration (sadly we weren't allowed to "borrow" them)
Moving onto the Saturday - the actual OnStage event, here I am with my level 1 team members who were able to make it from the left Jenny (behind) Renee, Me, Jenny, and Rosalie.
Again there were training sessions, a inspiring talk from Sara Douglas CEO of Stampin' Up!  Who reminded us of Stampin' Up!'s Statement of the Heart: "To love what we do, Share what we love, as we help others Enjoy Creativity and worthwhile accomplishments, in This we make a difference"

There was recognition for various achievements (I got my name up on the big screen!) and got to do 2 Stage Walks.
 

There was crafting sessions, the new unreleased Occasions catalogue and Sale-a-Bration catalogues were given to us, as well as being given new stamp sets and accessories! through Prize Patrol, and All Attendee GiveAways!  I ended up with 4 new (unreleased yet) stamp sets, as well as a few accessories.

When we got to our tables we discovered these (I'm glad Stampin' Up! staff have a sense of humour)

 
there was also this..... what we thought was a box for rubbish, ha ha weren't we wrong! after popping a heap of rubbish into it I lifted it up and it all fell out umm it's actually a tube lol!
I did manage to score some of those bits, (not the rubbish) so if you're visiting my Class room you may find them there........
Here's some of my team, hard at work....
And to finish it off these ladies:
are the lovely ladies who I was honoured to share an apartment with for the weekend, and this was our view from our 5th Storey Apartment:

not a bad view eh? that bobbly looking building was lit up with gorgeous red and green flashing lights in the evening, which really didn't turn out well on the camera :(

It was such an exciting fun weekend, if you join Stampin' Up!, you will also be invited to these events they happen twice a year (April and November) .  I'd love to have you join my team The CreateAbles, to find out more, click on the link above, or just ask me.

I hope this inspires you, I know the weekend has inspired me! And thankyou once again for your involvement in my Stampin' Up! business, you guys all rock!

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...
