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...

Hi there Creators,
well this morning I did my Facebook live and thought I might share what I made with you, hopefully by the time I've finished the write up the video will be uploaded to YouTube and I can add it to here too!
Anyway I started off my video showing how I cut and score my cardstock to create my base cards, actually I score it, then cut it, as it cuts down on one step (no pun intended) So I score the card all the way down the sheet at 10.5cm, and if I need to do a few I'll get the lot scored first, then move onto my cutter, and the 1/2 way mark for A4 paper is 14.8cm, I know my trusty Paper Trimmer will cut at least 2 pieces of card in one go, so that makes it a bit quicker too.
Anyway onto the cards, I've cut my Designer Series Paper to 5 3/4" x 4" the piece of plain card for the top part is 1cm less all round, so cut to 13.8cm x 9.5cm. I have used the Sale-a-Bration Flower & Field Designer Series Paper which is only available when you purchase $90 of goodies from the catalogues, then you can choose it for free! That's right, during Sale-a-Bration you get rewarded for orders of $90+, Bonus!!
I took the white card and made 2 diagonal cuts in it, the middle one is for one card and the other 2 pieces go on the other card. As you can see I've taken more of the pretty "Flower & Field Designer Series Paper" and fussy cut some of the images, they don't have to be complete images as you can "hide" the lost bits under others. I have used the lovely stamp set from Hello Dear Friend All inclusive card kit as I really like the writing, and I thought the flower and leaves really suited this paper well.
The Blue flower in the photo below is missing the left and bottom of the image, but it's covered well with the other flowers so you wouldn't know!
And on this one the 2 pink flowers are missing 1/2 of their image!
How cute is this little flower from the Hello Dear friend All inclusive Card kit and doesn't it suit this paper so well? I've also used one of the Opal Rounds embellishments (as this card had a smudge I needed to cover!)
Oh and look at that, the video has managed to upload to YouTube, so I'll attach that too. yay!
Ok well I hope this inspires you to have a go and dig out your beautiful flowery papers! Of course if you want this paper to do this with, all you need to do is order $90 of goodies and choose it for free (it's only available till end of Feb, so you need to get in quick!)
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...
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...
Hi there Creators, Oh my goodness we're at the 1st March, where did the last 2 months go?! Thought I'd better hop on and let you know what we'll be making for our cards in March. Classes are Friday 7th at 1pm my classroom in Laanecoorie, and 10.30am in Maryborough, the Wattle City Church 19 Argyle Road. Class cost is $24 for 4 cards Ok moving onto the cards themselves...... there are new Online products and I couldn't resist using some of them to create these😃 This first card uses Thankful Garden Decorative Masks , You are Remarkable Stamp set and the Hole Punch Trio . then this second card uses the same You Are Remarkable Stamp set, and the rather gorgeous Botanical Textures Designer Series paper and now for the twist.... The other 2 cards are "surprise cards" You will get to pick the cards you make out of a selection😁 Don't forget to let me know if you're coming, and remember if you want to see the products I've used, click the link I...
