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 - Mini Catalogue what's retiring

 Hi there Creators,

Today I thought I'd show you what's retiring from the Mini Catalogue (and what's being reduced, which isn't much!)  You'll find that lots of bundles are retiring but the products in them aren't, which means that if you want a 10% discount on them you need to buy them before they head into the new catalogue or online as individual items  (of course you could always join my team and get a 20% discount on all your goodies😉)

At the end of the video I end up showing off the Forever Love Specialty Designer Series Paper, and something a bit different you can do with it, also the beautiful Gold Foiled Flowers Cards & Envelopes.  And here's what I ended up doing with them:

I used some of my Stampin' Blend alcohol markers to colour them in (a little time consuming, but totally worth it!)

I ended up deciding to colour in the vanilla background with the pool party markers too, I really like the way it turned out!  with this card I used both the light and dark colours of blends to create the depth in the flowers and leaves. Then I finished it off with the Pool Party Grosgrain ribbon (makes such a nice bow this ribbon)

The pretty peacock Forever Love Specialty DSP only needed the darker colours of the markers to be used as the lighter ones didn't show a difference.

Then the finished card uses the Faux Gold Leather Trim to finish it off, I love this effect, and it pairs up SO well with this paper!
