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...

Cute Pop-Open Box

 Hi there Creators,

I did a Facebook live video a couple of weeks ago on this cute pop open box, and thought I'd share it here for you too, I've finally got round to uploading it to YouTube today!

Here is the first box I made:

I've used the beautiful Hydrangea Hill designer series paper, then I made this one in the video

I had been scrolling around on the internet and found it but of course it was American and used imperial measurements not metric, so I've converted it to metric - specifically tailored to an A5 sheet.

 


This is my roughly written out instructions that I use, however just in case the markings aren't making enough sense.....

Take your sheet of A5 in landscape, and score it at 1cm and 10cm,

Then in portrait score it 2cm in one side and 2.5cm the other side

On the 2.5cm side you need to cut at 6cm and 16cm (only up to the 2.5cm scored line)

trim off the little bits as shown in the 1cm scored portion

Using a bone folder you'll need to score the diagonal lines then fold everything.  Attach the 1cm flap round to the other side of the box to form a flat tube, then push open the base, and attach it down to form the base of your box (you'll see what I mean in the video!)

The patterned paper I used 9.5cm square, find the 1/2 way mark at the bottom end, and cut from one top corner diagonally to the 1/2 way point, then repeat for the other side and attach it in  place.

Have fun and do show me what you make!

I hope this inspires you to have a go.

God Bless love
