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...

Sneak Peeks from the upcoming Holiday Catalogue

-
Hi there,
Can you believe it? the Holiday Catalogue is almost ready to go live on 5th September!  And guess what? I've got some of the new products (shhh!)  Well actually as a demonstrator I get to pre-order some of the new stuff (so exciting).  So I thought I'd share with you some of the bits I've had a go at making.

First up I want to show you the absolutely stunning Timeless Tidings Project Kit.  I never used to be into the Project kits but they seem to be getting better and better (either that or I just love the fact I can whip up cards in next to no time and these ones I don't even have to think about!)  Just an extra comment before you get to see them, I happened to be in the supermarket yesterday and was eyeing up Fathers day cards - you know checking them out to see what ideas I could garner from them...... and I nearly fainted when I saw the price of them! none of them were under $5 and most of them were quite simple printed cards.  So just sayin' that these stunning cards are only $1.75 each when you break it down, how's that for value?!!

I'm guessing you want to see them now after all the hype lol here they are as a group, the kit will give you 5 of each design.
and now for a little closer.....
 there are gold stickers for each one........
 pretty little rhinestone jewels..........
 You don't have to colour them in.......
 
There are also matching envelopes!
 
OH, and the stamp set itself that you can purchase to go with it is currently one of my favourites too! Look what I made with it.....
Cards don't have to be complicated to be lovely - this little tree (and the font in the writing) was what really drew me to this stamp set.  Can you see the gold shimmer on the card?
Guess what? another "new" product, although this one is a "returning" product.  After a few years apart I still love it lol, it's called Shimmer Paint, I've used it here by adding it to a Stampin' Spritzer, which are remarkably cheap at only $5 for a pair of them, topped it up with some rubbing alcohol, and spritz'd away.  I now need to buy more spritzers because there's 4 colours of shimmer paints which incidentally are only $14 each........ soooo worth it!

Well I think that's probably enough "talking" from me today I hope you like what you see!
New catalogues will be on their way to people shortly, if you've ordered from me in the last year I should be sending you one.  If not but you really really want one, place an order or just let me know!  If you can't wait, I do have Coffee&Cards class on next Wednesday, and my interactive class on Thursday 23rd (and those who attend will be getting one).
I hope this inspires you to create!
God Bless love
Heather

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...
