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...

Decorative Mask Wows

 Hi there,

its been a while since I put anything on here usually it would be my monthly class, but when we got locked down again, my Christmas In July class got moved, so now it's "Christmas in August" lol.  So I thought as today I had only done the background for the cards I was showing on my Something Saturday video (Facebook or Youtube), I should show you how the cards actually turned out.

As I mentioned in the video I've just received these Plenty of Patterns Decorative Masks, actually one of my fabulous customers ordered herself some and I couldn't resist adding some in for myself (at only $14 why not!)  In my defense, I had been eyeing up the geometric patterned one for some time! 

Here are the 4 cards all finished, then I'll move on to telling you what's been used on each.....

I have to say the colours just pop!  I used Pumpkin Pie, Poppy Parade, Magenta Madness, and Soft Succulent.

the first card I created in the video was with the geometric design:

I kept them all very simple, but this one especially so as the colours are so vibrant, I don't think the photos do it justice, as I mentioned in the video I've taken the Many Happenings and Many Messages stamp sets and cut out with the matching Messages Dies, gives me heaps of different sayings, then I can mix and match them up with my cards and still have more left over for other cards (gotta love that!), On this saying I've added a couple of the beautiful 2021 -2023 In colour Jewels, which give the card a bit of sparkle (gotta have bling!)

 
The next card I show in the video is the Little flowers mask, I had planned to try and get the leaves in green and flowers in "flower colour" but that didn't work, and I'm again really pleased with the way it turned out, again the same colour combination, really packs a wow!, I've just let the colour speak for itself with the card, and added the sayings with again a couple of the 2021 -2023 In colour jewels

The 3rd Card I made up was the one I think looks like mermaid scales, so I stuck to the Soft Succulent with the colour then got carried away adding Wink of Stella over the top, Oh my! in real life it sparkles...., I've also added 3 of the beautiful Opal rounds (got a bit of a soft spot for opals as my engagement ring has a Opal in it), and also some of the matching Soft Succulent ribbon down the side.

then the last card has the larger design patterns, again the same colours, plus some of the Polished Pink ribbon which seems to go nicely with the Magenta Madness, and a couple of the Artistry Blooms Adhesive Backed Sequins, just in the centre of the 2 main patterns

 And that's it!  remarkably simple cards to create, but really pack a punch (at least that's what I think)😀
What do you think?
I hope these inspire you to create.
God Bless love
