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...

Card Class for October

Image
 Hi there, All going well we should be having this class on 6th October in my classroom, I've based the class around the Beauty of the Earth Designer Series Paper, and as there's quite a bit of stamping involved it is an in-person class, however there will be a new postal class coming soon (stay tuned....) Anyway here are the cards, and at the bottom I'll add links which show you exactly what I've used for each card: This first one I wanted to show both sides of the designer paper, as it's so pretty! then I've used the Enjoy the moment stamp set to stamp the seed pods (haven't used this set much) The second card I've gone with the Daisy Lane Stamp set and matching Medium Daisy Punch (again a stamp set I haven't used in a while!) 3rd card is such a wintry pattern (and of course being English, wintry patterns remind me of Christmas....)  So these 3 trees and saying come from Perfectly Plaid stamp set and the matching Pine Tree Punch. Last but not least...

Nuts about Squirrels

 Hi there Creators There's Something about squirrels.... (Mary doesn't do it for me 😂)  So when this cute little Nuts about Squirrels set came out I knew it would end up in my collection.   Coming from England to Australia it's one those creatures that aren't over here, when I took the boys back to England a few years ago they were fascinated by the squirrels in one of the London parks, although most are now Gray squirrels I still prefer the red ones. Check out the Stamp set with this link: Nuts about Squirrels (you can purchase it from there too, and at only $30 what a bargain!!)  Oh and while I'm thinking of it for every $90 you purchase you get to pick a free Sale-a-Bration product, check them out in this link: Sale-a-Bration Products .  Till the end of September. Ok, so my first card I made is this one here:  this one I just stamped directly onto my card, then stamped 3 spare nuts, and cut these out by hand, and the saying stamped and cut by hand...
