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...

Painted with Love Designer Series Paper

Hi Everyone,
As I accidentally ordered 2 packs of Painted with Love Designer Series Paper (which ironically I wasn't terribly keen on to begin with lol)  I thought I'd do a few cards to showcase the papers to encourage my enthusiasm for them!  I do love the gold foil card in them (gotta have bling! lol) they're on page 19 in the new Occasions catalogue.
Just so you know I cut each to a piece of 6x3", then trimmed it down to fit on the cards, I wanted the paper itself to have centre stage, let me know what you think!

So the first one might look a tad familiar if you've been following my blog.....
then the rest are "new" lol
So up next I thought I'd play around with "non-standard" folded cards, so made these 2 also using the, Sale-a-Bration thinlit dies "Celebrate You" you can earn these for FREE! with an order over $180 during the Sale-a-Bration period 3rd Jan to 31st March, the second card also uses wording from "Picture Perfect Birthday" stamp set (page 5 in the new Occasions Catalogue)

 Then I've teamed it up with another Sale-a-bration set, this time "Happy Wishes" Stamp set it's a Mega set that has 16 stamps in it!  If you use the Black Archival ink pad, and allow it to dry, it will stamp over the gold embossed areas in the paper.  This first "Anniversary" card I've flipped the Designer series paper over for the saying - it's cut to 6x3", then I've trimmed off 2cm from one end to add, flipped it over and stamped the saying on it.  The second card I chose to keep the end piece the same way up, but have sponged round the edge.  Isn't that "Happy" gorgeous?  there's another large saying "best" which I haven't used in these cards (work on that.....,watch this space....)

Ok, so one last piece of DSP (Designer Series Paper) to go, I think this one could be my favourite card from this set.

What do you think, do you like this Designer Series Paper?  which is your favourite of the cards above?
Hope this inspires you to create
God Bless love
