Something Saturday - Origami Envelopes

 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 - Cradled with Love

 Hi There Creators, 

Today we're checking out the Cradled with Love stamp set you can get for FREE when you purchase $90 of goodies Woo hoo!  it's only available till end of February as part of the Sale-a-Bration offering. click the link to see the sale-a-bration goodies.  Also if you join Stampin' Up! there's a rather good deal going on too, check out this link: Join my team.  Time is running out!

When I was at church the other day, I asked what cards they needed (as I usually try and keep them supplied with cards) and they said baby cards....yikes!  I really don't make many as most of my friends are my age, and have teenage/young adult kids not quite up to the marrying and reproducing stage yet🤣  So I thought I'd better get to work!  Thank goodness Sale-a-Bration has a dedicated Baby stamp set for me to use!  

Here's the card I made up before the video: I have to say the detail is so lovely in the stamped image.

I did discover a couple of things that made me realise some stamps have to be used the right way round LOL, such as the bottle, turns out it has "liquid" in it on an angle, huh who knew?, and I think the mat is meant to go all the way under all 4 legs of the bassinet!  The saying is cut using the Modern Oval punch, then cut down again with the same punch, and I've added bling (of course) the Iridescent Pastel Gems matched in really well with both cards.

I hope this inspires you to create (and know that you don't need to have heaps of layers on your cards to create a great card!)

God Bless love
