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...

Eastern Medallion Box & Card

Hi There Creators,
Turning my thoughts towards Picture to Page Show on the 16th & 17th March (oh my goodness this weekend!!), I thought I might make a 3D project (although it's not what I started making lol)

So, I was playing around with the Eastern Medallion thinlits, specifically the little 6 petaled flower, and having tried to do something else I suddenly thought how nice it would look if it was done in a row with maybe DSP underneath.  Still might look nice done that way, just didn't turn out that way lol
however it does look rather nice with Gold glimmer under it!  Anyway while I was making this card it occurred to me that a little box would look equally fabulous with these little flowers round the outside of it, drum roll........
And guess what? it does! although it's awfully hard to photograph, so I'll show you a couple of photos.
once I'd made the cute little round box, then I felt it needed a little cone shaped lid, I'm so chuffed with it 😊  One last photo....
you can kind of see with the underside of the lid to the box that it has a special piece that fits over the box, so the lid doesn't just slide off (did I mention I'm really chuffed with it? lol)

Ok well that's it from me, I'm not going to give you instructions for the box at the moment, as it really was just one of those things that gradually happened, and the card probably doesn't need instructions it's ridiculously simple, but let me know if you'd like instructions!

I hope it inspires you to create too!
God Bless love
