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...

Roll Up Box

 Hi there Creators

Well this morning I did my Facebook live video on a little roll up box, it's so cute!  I said I'd share the measurements etc with you on a blog post, so here it is.......

but first some photos to whet your appetite 😊


 

Now for the measurements......

Take your A4 piece of card I used the Stampin' Up! Basic White Thick Card, as it's nice and strong, and score lengthwise at 4.95cm (just a fraction before the 5cm mark)  I actually made a quick mark on my Paper Cutter as just about all the measurements are this)  move it along and score it at the next 4.95cm (ie 9.9cm), move it along again and cut it off at the next 4.95cm mark (ie 14.85cm).

Turn the card stock and score 4.95cm, move along and repeat (should be 9.9cm) then I recommend you turn the card stock around and repeat from the other side don't do what I did in the video! - let me make the mistakes for you lol

Next cut the "flaps"  check out the rough diagram below;


 Once this is done you'll need Designer series paper cut to: 24 squares of 4.5cm and 4 rectangles of 4.5cm x 9cm, stick them into the appropriate places.

Then move onto the lid:  this is 12cm x 7cm, then 1cm scored all the way round, then cut the flaps, again see diagram below:  stick the little corner flaps in behind the end flaps to create your lid, and attach another piece of 4.5cm x 9cm Designer Series Paper onto it.


Fingers crossed your lid should now fit snugly onto your box, now you can have fun rolling your box up and down 😀

And in case you missed it here is the video:


 

I hope you have a go at this, let me know how you go, if you do check out my Facebook page, then please share what you make, I do love to see you're creations too! (or you can email them to me too)

Don't forget till the end of Feb for every $90 of goodies you order you can pick one of the Sale-a-bration items for free (the paper I used in the video is one of the items).

I hope this inspires you to create

God Bless love
