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...

Arrange a Wreath Bundle

-
Hi there Creators,
I'm making myself a bit of a challenge to make at least 3 cards with each set of stamps/dies that I've bought, so here we are onto day 4 (not sure how long I'll be able to keep it up, but so far so good lol)  I figured while I'm making them I'm going to share them with you all (hope you enjoy it and it inspires you).

Hence, I've moved onto the Arrange a Wreath Bundle today which consists of the Arrange a Wreath Stamp set and the Wreath Builder Dies.   If you end up with a bundle you save 10% on the cost of buying them (bonus) .  Anyway you're not here to hear me waffle!, on to the cards.....

Soooo...... the reason I bought this set was for the wreath's, and Christmas!  however it does come with this cute "Love" heart, and flowers....and bow!
Arrange a Wreath Bundle
For this card I've teamed it up with the Artistry Blooms Patterned Paper, which as I mentioned in the last post, I really love the grading in the paper!, also used the lovely Rainbow Glimmer Paper to create the bow (oh and the Artistry Blooms Sequins for the flower centres, really like the fact they don't have a hole in the middle of them!

Then of course I had to make Christmas cards, it's never too early to make Christmas cards lol!

Arrange a Wreath Bundle
For this card I didn't have any patterned paper that I felt would work behind the flowers, so I made some.  I've just taken my dauber (the paper and ink are both Old Olive) if you ink up your dauber and "puff" it round your card, then using the edge of the dauber, sort of scrape on extra lines, it gives quite a cool effect!  I've also taken one of the cut out pieces and used the piece it came out of to create a mask for the background of the card.  I did discover that the teeny tiny circle die that's in the set, is there to create a circle to go behind the centre of the flower! (who knew! lol)  Oh and I've used the absolutely stunning Brass Foil Sheets, and the Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

And for the final card I couldn't resist........... And a Partridge in a Pear Tree (did you sing it?)
Arrange a Wreath Bundle
So this card I've used the Artistry Blooms Patterned Paper again underneath, some Diamantes, which I had intended to use for the birds eye, but that didn't look right! (got to improvise lol)  Oh and the Lovely Labels Pick a Bunch punch for the saying, I've punched both ends, I will say with this, that if you're using a short piece of paper, make sure you check the back of the punch to ensure it's in the right place!
The pears are inked up with the Pear Pizzazz, I've used my real red dauber to add a touch of red to one side, then stamped (thankfully there's 2 pears per stamp 😊)

Did you have a favourite? let me know!
I hope this inspires you to get creating.
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...
