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...

Something Saturday - Delicate Edges Dies

 Hi there Creators

Today I thought I'd show off these gorgeous Delicate Edges Dies (they were on my "must get" list) and I haven't been disappointed!  I thought I'd show case a couple of unusual ways of using them, so here goes......

In the video I show making your own stamps out of them, using them as masks and more.

This first card shows how I finished off the piece that I had masked back to back, makes such a pretty border!  I used the blending brushes to add the colour and I find it gets into the "cracks" easier than the daubers do.  I've used the Biggest Wish Stamp set for all these cards (such a handy stamp set!) And I couldn't resist using the Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels, they just go with everything!

Next up I've used the 2 negative pieces from the die cut and coloured in between them - remarkably easy to do with this die!

and here's the actual piece that was cut out, I've used the fabulous Artistic Mix Decorative Masks for the background

And in case you're wondering where did she get that fluffy twine......  yep I've dismantled the White Frayed ribbon 🤣
Then lastly I've used the stamp I created with the die to make this card

The Birthday kind of got lost in the background so I've gone with gold embossing, which shows up way better in the "flesh"!  I've also added some of the Old Olive & Sahara Sand Twill Ribbon, I kind of figure it can be a "guy" card 😃

If you haven't seen the video, here it is....



I hope these inspire you to create

God Bless love
