Something Saturday - Louvre Windows Card

Image
 Hi there Creators Today I thought I'd show you how to create this Louvre Windows card (little bit of trivia, did you know Louvres were invented back in the middle ages around 1500 years ago?, they were made of wood and put on pitched roofs to let out smoke, and increase circulation)😃 Anyway moving on.... I saw these kind of cards at the Picture to Page show, and of course the company selling them had dies to cut out all the components, but I figured I could make it work my own way. And so Voila: I made this card up before the video using the Celebratory Sips Designer paper (see all the links below) and here it is opened up (little difficult to photograph!) So this is the bit that's obscured above! Then in the video this is the card I made up, this time using the Beautiful Gallery Designer Paper (again links below) and the middle..... as you can see I used a bit more of the designer paper to cut out and add to the middle sections and again the obscured bit Links for products R...

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

origami envelope, Stampin' Up!
and this smaller one uses one of the 6x6" pieces of Full of Life Designer Series Paper
origami envelope, Stampin' Up!

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 to stick this down)

then pop your card in and fold the top over.

If you missed the video here it is:

I hope this is helpful and it inspires you to create matching cards & envelopes 😃
God Bless love
