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...

Team Day August 2018 Part 2

Hi there
As promised I'm back again to show you the Make&Takes that I created for our team day.

Initially I'd planned just to make one, but got a bit carried away, 3 later thought I'd better stop! lol
 My initial idea was to make one of the new cute little "Takeout Treats" boxes using the matching stamp set "Take Out Treats", so we did make this one:
Gotta tell you that ribbon is so soft! it's called Merry Merlot & Copper 5/8" reversible ribbon, and it's so beautiful!

Then I kind of felt that really we should try out the other 2 new embossing folders from the new Holiday Catalogue! (having used the Swirls and Curls one in Jenny's card)
Hence this card came in to being.  Using the new Corrugated Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing folder, also the Merry Christmas Thinlit dies, the Oh my goodness so amazing! "Shimmer Paints"  (do you get that I really like the shimmer paints? lol)  I've also added some of the Metallic Sequin Assortment (so pretty)

Ok and the other embossing folder is Tin Tile Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, just so you know the "Dynamic" embossing folders have more layers than normal embossing folders, they can emboss deeper, and so some parts are more deeply embossed than other parts (pretty cool!)  Oh and funnily enough those Shimmer Paints make a showing on this card too!
This is a 1/2 size card, I've used Soft Suede Cardstock to emboss, then burnished using a dauber over the top with Vegas Gold and Bright copper Shimmer Paints, the punch and saying are from the "Christmas Traditions Punch Box", and the punched piece underneath is the Everyday Label Punch.

The new Holiday Catalogue starts for ordering on 5th September, if you haven't got one and would like to check it out let me know.

I hope these have inspired you to create!
God Bless love
Heather
