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...

Fancy Fold Dangly Card

Hi there Creators, 

Today we're looking at a fancy fold card, that I really don't know if I've seen it somewhere, but I do know I went to make something completely different and this is what happened......🤣

Here are the cards I've made: (measurements as promised in the video, below)

This is the first card I made up you can see the dangly "Happy Birthday" in the middle.

And the card I made in the video

On to the measurements:

You'll need a sheet of A4 cardstock, some designer paper and another coloured card to mat the designer paper, 2 bits of twine around 13cm each, 2 stamped sayings and a punch or die to cut them out to an appropriate size.

  • cut the A4 card down to A5, and fold in 1/2 at 10.5cm, then fold both sides back (at 5.25cm), so it looks like both cards are concertina'd (top card I used Smoky Slate, bottom card Very Vanilla)
  • Take one of these and cut the smallest circle into the middle of it I've used the Deckled Circles Dies numbers 7, 8 and 9 (from the middle out)
  • cut the largest circle (9) from the "mat" card
  • cut the middle circle from designer paper
  • cut 4 pieces of "mat" card to 4.5cm x 14cm (top card I used Misty Moonlight, bottom card is Gold foil sheets)
  • cut 4 pieces of Designer paper to 1 1/2" x 5 1/4" (top card I used Countryside Inn, bottom card Shining Brightly Specialty Designer Series Paper
  • Oh and I used the Simply Elegant Trim for the twine bit, such handy stringy stuff! 🤣

If you missed the video, here it is:


 I hope this inspires you to create, and let me know if you have a go!

God Bless love
