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...

getting back into the Video scene!

Hi there,
I have another video for you again today, and some instructions to go with it :)

I have been making up some cute little cards recently with 1/4 size A4 cardstock, but as you can see from the photo, they really don't work with a normal size envelope!
 So..... it got me thinking, that I needed to work out an appropriately sized envelope for them!, several scrap pieces of paper later, and finally got it!
I was so excited that I created a video for you, however in the video I do say that I'll give you the measurements.
Therefore to create the card,
Start with A4 sized cardstock, cut it in 1/2 at 14.8cm, this will give you A5, (which when scored in 1/2 at 10.5cm will give you a standard card), however for this you'll cut it at 10.5cm, which will give you an A6 piece.  This when scored in 1/2 at 7.4cm creates your mini card.
To create the envelope I have used the Envelope Punch Board, which you can use to create so many different sizes of envelopes! but it does use a square piece of paper, as my aim is to use A4 with as little wastage as possible, I've gone with 1/2 a piece of A4 (14.8cm) and made it square (you do end up with a section cut off the end, but it's a decent sized piece that can be used for stamping on for other projects)  Then using the punch board, line it up to the 8.6cm mark and score and punch, and that's the measurements!


let me know if you're going to give it a go! and if you don't have the envelope punch board, then I can either order it for you, or you can click on the link above, and it'll take you to my online store
I hope this inspires you to create cute little cards!

God Bless love
