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...

Creating a Card with a window opening

 Hi there Creators,

In my Something Saturday video today I'm showing how to create a card that has a window type opening in it, if you plan to create your own advent calendars this would be one easy way to do it with the right dies 😀

So here are the cards I made using the Bright Baubles Bundle:

Firstly the lines on the outer card are simply made by dropping the ink pad repeatedly onto the card! (make sure you have scrap paper under your work, or everything will get coloured! lol) Also quite a good way to hide mistakes 🤣

Next up you create the opening - to do this you'll need to only partially cut the die, leaving a small amount uncut where you want the "hinge" to be (see the photo below)

After that it's just a case of decorating, you can have it as an opening to the inside of your card, or in my case I added extra under it.  

I added a piece of coloured card covering the back of the front of the card (how confusing is that?!), in other words I added a piece of card 14.5cm x 10cm behind the hole, then added a die cut directly onto this through the hole, so when the door opens you see the die cut.  Oooo Just thought it would look pretty cool with window sheeting instead of the coloured card!  Umm another time as it's now tipping down outside and that's not so appealing getting out to my craft room!
