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...

Cards for September classes

-
Hi there Creators,
Well from September I start adding a Christmas card into the mix (September 1, Oct 2, Nov 3 and of course Dec all 4 of them!) It's my sneaky way of making sure that you all have a few Christmas cards made :)
The new Holiday Catalogue goes live on 4th September and my classes conveniently start on 4th! Wednesday at 10.30am in Laanecoorie, then Thursday 5th at 7.30pm in Laanecoorie and Saturday 7th at 10am in Maryborough. If you haven't got a copy of the new Holiday Catalogue let me know and I'll get one to you!

Anyway on to the cards!...... this first card uses new products, really cute stamp set called "Elfie" and this fabulous Real Red Ruched Ribbon.

Card #2 uses uses my new favourite Stamp Set "Beauty and Joy" it's one of the DistINKtive sets - just amazing the detail! and one of my new favourite Ink pads, Oh my goodness the Metallic Ink pads are back this one is Golden Glitz (but there's also Silvery Shimmer and Celestial Copper) Oh and I've used one of the new "Basic Pattern" masks too in the background.

Card #3 again uses new but mixed with old  New is the "Stitched Stars dies", that I thought went really well with these words from the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set, and one of the new "Star designer Elements" which are really nice metal copper stars.
Last card uses a set that I keep meaning to use more often! lol and I really felt like I needed some summer time, and to feel warm!.....  So this one uses the Waterfront Stamp set, the Everyday label punch and the Tailored Tag Punch.  I feel much more summery when I look at it lol :)

And that is my line up for September!  I look forward to seeing whoever can make it, do let me know if you plan to come to one of the Laanecoorie classes as spaces are limited at it!  I think most of you know now that the price of the class had to increase to $20 for the 4 cards and envelopes (with instructions) at the beginning of June.

Happy Creating, I hope I've inspired you to create, even if you can't make it to class, and remember if you want to order, and you're not part of my Craft@Home group do use this hostess code which will go till near the end of September: GNHTRZ7G and you'll be in the running to gain the hostess benefits - however if you're order is over $250 don't use the hostess code as you'll qualify for the free hostess benefits for yourself!

God Bless love

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...
