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 - Fancy Fold Planets Card

 Hi there Creators,

We're onto Week 3 of the Designer Paper sale (which goes all of June)  and I'm still kind of stuck on the AMAZING Stargazing Paper (currently on sale for $18.48 from $21.75), it is actually part of a whole suite Stargazing Suite, but the stamp set didn't really appeal to me, however the papers are a different matter......  Oh and check out the Holographic Trio Papers (oh WOW!) having said that I haven't used them in these projects!

Also there's a joining deal on during June too!  you can get an extra $48 on the normal starter kit's amazing value, so that's: Join my team in June and pick $283 of goodies but only pay $169!!  wow!  If you're interested ask me for more details - or if you know you're sure, go here:  Join Heather's team

However I'm guessing you want to see the cards, and get the measurements, so here goes.................. by the way I think they might be called a Reverse bridge fold card, but I wouldn't bet on it 🤣

This is the one I end up making the base of in the video this is the card closed, 

Special Fold Stargazing Card, Stampin' Up!

Then open:
And the one I made before the video:   Closed
Special Fold Stargazing Card, Stampin' Up! 
 Open:
Special Fold Stargazing Card, Stampin' Up!

and now for the measurements: 

you'll need an A5 Thick card (either vanilla or white depending on your designer paper)

Score at: 5.25cm and 7.9cm in both sides, and fold so it kind of forms a bridge effect.

the Mat's you'll need: 

  • 3 of 14.5cm x 5cm
  • 2 of 14.5cm x 2.5cm 
 then for the Designer paper on top of the mats you'll need a piece of Designer paper measuring 5.5cm high and 8" long, you then cut this into chunks in this order:
  • 1 1/2"
  • 3/4"
  •  1 3/4"
  • 3/4"
  • 1 1/2" 
If you cut it in that order your pattern will line up across the front of your card
 
stick it all down and embellish as you want to😁
 
If you missed the video here it is:
 


I hope I've inspired you to have a go too
God Bless love
