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 I said the title out loud and my youngest son showed me a few creative punches, like this Mum, umm not quite the sort of punches I was thinking of lol!😀
Of course I'm talking about "papercraft punches", how to get the size to be bigger or smaller, handy to know when you have a saying that's longer than your punch, or when a small saying looks a little lost in the middle of your punch!
However I have taken a few photos for you, and I'll try and explain.... (click on the links to view the punches).
This first one shows the Delightful Tag Topper Punch, which has 3 widths, 2", 1 1/2", and 1", I love this for making my tags to go on bags or presies, you can do a larger one in colour, and pop a smaller one over top to create a nice layered effect down the side of the tag. Plus you can punch both ends of the card and tie it round something or create napkin rings..... (your imagination is your limit)
The next one I show in the video is this one, the Treasured Tags Pick a Punch, so called I'm guessing, because you can pick either side of it and create 6 different looks! Again this one has 3 specific widths, 1", 3/4" and 1/2".
Then we get creative, I can't remember the order I did these ones in, but if you measure the width of your punch (either direction) you can put one end in and punch it then put the other end in and punch that, so you can choose however long you want your tag to be.
I've used the Tailored Tag punch here, you can create great arrows with it!
then this one Elegant Tag Punch - this is so pretty on the corner of a card, or double ended
My favourite punch is this Everyday Label punch, this one is easy to enlarge in either direction!
And the last one I use is the Jar punch, again it's an easy one to enlarge up or sideways! you can have tall jars or wide jars, again the limit is your imagination
View the Video on YouTube here:
I hope this inspires you to do more with your punches!
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...
