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...

Happiness Surrounds Limited time Stamp set

Hi there,

Well I think I'm in love again!  I thought, I'll just make a card for a friend, who's birthday I managed to miss, and as this one's a limited time stamp set I wanted to make sure I used it, however as I have already packed a heap of inks etc for my class on Saturday, I was slightly limited with my choices, all I can say is OH WOW!  Happiness Surrounds Stamp set is one from the Limited time suite - Snowflake Showcase.  It is Limited, so only available while stocks last till the end of this month (November)  hence if you want to get it - get it now, don't delay!!  use this host code, and you might win the host benefits for the month: RJZEGMNQ

Ok so the first card I made is the one I'm sending my friend, here it is:
This involves just stamping the largest stamp (I used Pumpkin Pie) , then the medium stamp (I used Granny Apple Green), and the small flower, (I used Melon Mambo).  Next up the sentiment, and some Rhinestone Basic Jewels (diamante's), curve the corners with the Detailed Trio Punch, and layer up on a Bermuda Bay Card! Oh and daub round the edge.  How gorgeous is it?

After having made this one I'd packed the diamantes away, so I'll add them to these cards after Saturday I think, but I'm still so happy with the way they turned out, still on the Brights colours as they seem to be the ones I wasn't using this month lol, I had some pre-cut card stock lying around too.....
although if I hadn't had pre-cut card, I was thinking these stamps would make an amazing One Sheet Wonder.  (this is where you take a piece of A4 card, stamp it all over, then cut it up and make several cards from it), moving on.....
gee I love this design so much!, I've done the larger leaves by inking up with the Granny Apple Green and stamping off on scrap paper once, to get the more faded look
And the last card:
I felt a need to use the Gorgeous Grape, and Grapefruit Grove (however not too sure that they actually go together lol) but I still love the look of the card.

I hope these inspire you to create too, and don't forget if you do want this stamp set order it soon! Oh and by the way the Snowfall thinlit dies do cut out the images in this set too (they were packed!)

God Bless love
