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...

Coffee & Cards Class on Monday 20th Nov

Hi Everyone,
My 2nd Coffee&Cards class in Dunolly is on again this coming Monday . 
I was inspired by one of my swaps from OnStage, having had in my mind that I wanted to use the Coffee Cafe suite of products but wanting to somehow tie it in with Christmas, I got given a card that had 2 coffee cups with Christmas sayings on them.  Highly observant me, hadn't realised that there is a set in the Holiday Catalogue that actually coordinates with the Coffee Cafe framelit dies! it's called Merry Cafe (on page 46), Ha who would have known? lol

However as I don't have that set, I've gone with one that is on the Extravaganza list - on 20 Nov you'll be able to buy this stamp set "Every Good Wish" for 20% less!! on that day only (let me know if you want to see the list!) Oh and the Coffee Cup framelits are on the list with 20% off too!
Anyway on to the cards:
This makes me think of Christmas in Australia, due to the heat, and to me it's a cold drink (frappe), bit of swirly cream on the top with the straw.  I've used some of the Be Merry Designer Series Paper and some Cherry Cobbler cardstock in the background.

 Then I got to thinking about how we go out for coffee with friends, and this card came about:
couldn't resist a couple of handbags, made with the Best Badge Punch and the cute little coffee cups, that I've coloured up with the little holly and berries stamp from the same Every Good Wish stamp set, oh also the background dots are from the same stamp set, very versatile!  funny looking at it now, I think I'm going to add a "button" to the handbags, maybe coloured in with a Stampin Blend marker, Oh the possibilities are endless!!

If you'd like to join us on Monday, do let me know, and don't forget to check my Stampin' Up! Demonstrator Business Website for a list of the specials that will be released on Monday (24 hours for the stamps, although there are accessories available for a week at reduced prices)  I do have the list, so let me know and I can email it to you.

I hope this inspires you to create
God Bless love
