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 - Pop Out Stars card

-

 Hi there Creators, 

Today I'm showing off this card I designed the other day, which has a pop out element with stars on it, and a dangly bit!  The Stars come from Sweetest Star bundle, (I always want to call it chubby Star bundle 🤣)  I've used the Season of Green & Gold Specialty Designer Series Paper, and Peaceful Season Bundle (stamps & dies).

The first card I made up with retired Designer Papers to try it out, measurements further down.  Here is the first card:

Stampin' Up!, Heather McCarthy, Something Saturday video

Then the one I make up in the video is this one:

Stampin' Up!, Peaceful Season, Pop Out card

Stampin' Up!, Peaceful Season, Pop Out card

And now for the measurements......

You'll need an A4 base card, cut down the middle and scored in 1/2 to create a long card

The outside of the card uses for the front Panel

A plain colour card 14.3cm x 6cm, then an overlay of Designer Paper 2" x 13.8cm, which has the "Christmas" die cut out of it.

Inside the card, you need 2 plain pieces 14.3cm x 10cm, and 2 Designer Paper pieces 13.8cm x 9.5cm.

The Mechanism part is 14.8cm x 2cm folded in 1/2 at 7.4cm and a fold of 1cm at each end.

You need 5 stars for the middle folded star, and 2 more for the outer stars.

fold all the stars in 1/2, so the side you want showing is on the inside of the fold, stack and glue together the 5 for the middle star, and attach them to the middle fold of the mechanism part.

Attach the other 2 stars to the outer folds of the mechanism

If you want the dangly saying, cut out 2 of the banners (these will stick back to back with the twine in between, stamp on one or both, then lay everything on the inside of your card to work out where it will sit (bearing in mind that when it folds the star needs to stay inside the confines of the card!)

You'll find it easier to attach the dangly saying before you attach the mechanism into your card, trust me!

If you missed the video here it is:


I do hope you have a go at making this, let me know what you think, and I hope this inspires you to create!

God Bless love

Something Saturday - Twisted Star Ornament

-
Image
 Hi there Creators I saw this cool star ornament in another video, and had a bit of a play around with it, ending up with this.... (with a retired Designer Series Paper) Then I ended up making this one (somewhat puffier 🤣) in the video with the current Natures Sweetness Specialty Designer Series Paper  Ok, to make this you'll need 16 strips of 15cm x 1cm Designer Paper & glue (I used tombow) Use 8 of the pieces for each side of the star, you twist them like a Breast Cancer ribbon, but with a small "head section" and have a gap of around 4cm at the free end, and around 4cm of the 2 free arms (if that makes sense, it should if you've seen the video!) you then glue 8 of the "heads" together to make the middle of the star then the tails glue together to form the points. once you've made up 2 of these, you then glue them back to back, adding a piece of twine into the last point If you missed the video here it is:  I hope this inspires you to create one t...

GDP #261

 Hi there Creators, The Global Design Project #261 challenge this week is a colour challenge: (check out the link to see what others have done)   So I thought I'd join in again, and try out a card type I've seen someone else show off recently  I know it would have been on one of the Stampin' Up! facebook pages, I can't remember exactly what she used, but I liked the 3D'ness of it 😄 and I have no idea what the card is called possibly Diorama card would work?  anyway I set to work trying to work out how she'd done it (although I suspect if I could re-find hers she'd probably already done instructions lol)  I always seem to take the hard way..... So here is my "take" on it using these colours.  The inside is the impressive bit..... The outside not so impressive, but check out that gorgeous Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper !  I've teamed it up with the Ornate Layers Dies , and the super soft ribbon from the Basket Weave & Metall...
