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...

Craft Alive Wodonga Friday & Saturday presentation

Hi Creators,
Here I am at Craft Alive Wodonga Friday I did a live video showing how to use the Stampin Write Markers to colour in the gorgeous Wonderful World stamps  (you can get the stamps and matching papers for free when you purchase $180 of goodies)
Here are the cards I presented, I love that using the pens allows you to colour one stamp in multiple colours - aren’t these stamps stunning?
Wonderful World, Stampin' Up!


To cut the A4 card to the right sizes: the white layer is 7x9.9cm (cut your A4 card into 3 even sections each way). The coloured card is 10.5x 7.4cm (to get this cut the A4 card in 1/2 to A5 then 1/2 again to A6 and 1/2 again)
 
Saturday I showed how to decorate one of the Craft Gift Boxes using the Wonderful World papers, and I put together this gorgeous box to house the cards plus a couple more cards made using the “left over” bits from the box:  I’ve used the Kraft Gift boxes which the C6 envelopes and matching A6 cards fit into beautifully 😀
Wonderful World, Stampin' Up!



During the video I said I'd give the measurements for the layers on the box, so the base plain colour for the two large sides (top & bottom) are 16cm x11cm and the designer paper that sits on top is 6"x4".  On one of these you'll need to cut the hole for the top - I used the Fabulous Frames Dies.  Line up the base card with the designer paper on top, place the die in the middle, and run through your cutting machine (in my case the Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine)
 
 Then for the two (or three) long thin sides you'll need base plain colour 16cm x 1.8cm and designer paper measuring 6" x 1/2".

And here are the 2 cards made with the bits I cut out from the middle - gotta love the Fabulous Frames dies!


And the whole lot together - I might make a couple more cards then I reckon it would make a lovely gift 💝

This is the sheet I made up with all the items I used for my presentation  however you can check out this link instead:  What Heather Used which should take you to my website and show you all the goodies (except apparently the Wonderful World stamps & Papers that wouldn’t attach - you can pick them out as your freebies at the end)
 

 

I hope this inspires you to create

God Bless love
