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...

Stamped Heat De-bossing (Something Saturday)

 Hi There Creators,

This week my "Something Saturday" video was on Stamped Heat De-bossing, I'm not sure if it's called this but I can't think what else to call it!

This is it, there's no ink used in the saying, just heat embossing powder and a stamp.

 I think it creates a really cool look.

These are the finished cards the top card is the one I actually make in the video

Now that I'm looking at them on here, I'm thinking it would make a really cool tag to hang on a Christmas Stocking!  They kind of end up looking a bit like dog tags!  Or even on a scrapbook layout it would look really great!

Anyway I'm sure if you haven't viewed the video that you're wondering how I've done this.

It's actually quite simple if you know how to heat emboss!

Take your piece of card, wipe it over with your Versamark ink pad, then cover it with heat embossing powder, and heat emboss it.

Then repeat the process so (in my case) the Gold or Copper gets thicker, I've done mine 3 times, then on the last time you need the stamp ready and waiting, while the melted embossing powder is still hot, press the stamp into it firmly.  If you find that you've ended up with a partial image, heat it up again till the stamped bit "melts out" and try again.  I'm not sure how many times you can re-heat it before the embossing powder doesn't like you, but I did have to do this once in the video!

Let me know if you have a go!  I'm putting a link below to all the products I used making these cards, and don't forget until 30th September (not long now) for every $90 you order you do get to pick a FREE Sale-a-Bration product! (bargain!)
