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...

Cards for March

-
Hi There,
Oh my goodness we're almost in March!  So here are the cards I'll be teaching in my 4 card classes first one is on this coming Saturday, in Maryborough at 10am, then the other 2 classes are on the 14th, at 10.30am and 7.30pm in my Classroom in Laanecoorie. Do let me know if you plan to come :)

Ok first card off the rank!  I've decided to use a doily (trust me this is really rare lol)  and also the ultra cool Brusho powders (so much fun)  I made up 2 just to make sure I could do it (and because it was fun, and it shows other colours......)  Also used the Perennial Birthday stamp set.
Moving onto card #2: I'm pretty sure I've blogged this card before, but Oh my goodness aren't the Party Pandas just so darn cute?  The Party Pandas are a Sale-a-bration set, so when you order $90+ you can pick this set for FREE!  this is only available till the end of March, so get in quick!  I've also used the fabulous Myths and Magic Glimmer Paper to create the balloon and the Starburst punch behind the pandas, with a touch of the Petal Passion Designer Series Paper on the side.
 Where are we up to? oh #3 :) this could be my favourite card!  I just love the elegance, and intricacy of this stamp.  Again this is a Sale-a-Bration stamp Heartfelt Blooms , so Purchase $90+ of goodies and you could choose to have this stamp set for FREE! I've teamed it up with the lovely Vanilla and Gold, Gold Edge Metallic Ribbon.
Ok last but not least:  I really wanted to use these bottles as I think they're perfect for a mans card, and lets face it men's cards are not so easy to come by!  This uses the Bubble Over Photopolymer bundle,  It took a while to work out this card, but I'm happy with it and hubby reckoned it was ok! I have also used the Celebrate You thinlit dies (or at least one of them!) This is also a Sale-a-Bration item, when you purchase $180+ you can choose these dies for FREE!  (or you can wait till the new Annual Catalogue and purchase them then!)
Do let me know what you think of the cards, and if you plan to come to any of these classes.  The fee for the class is $15, you receive instructions and envelopes with your cards.

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...
