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 - Gatefold Bow Card

Image
Hi There Creators, If you've ever made a gatefold card, with a ribbon that attaches all the way round it to keep it shut, you'll know it gets to it's recipient who then can't redo a bow, and it never quite looks the same again 🤣 So I was contemplating this as I was playing around with a gatefold card the other day and thought why couldn't the tied bow just be a faux one? that doesn't actually keep the card closed, but looks good? Enter the "Gatefold Bow Card" (cos I didn't know what else to call it🤣)  There is probably not an easy way to be perfectly honest to make your bows look good, what it takes is practice and playing around with it once it is made (sometimes it takes a well placed mini glue dot 😉)  I used some of the Iconic Celebrations Designer Series Papers they come in 6x6" and designed to be suitable for all occasions. Ok, here are the cards I created in the end: for this one I also use the Peaceful Season Bundle , the Iridescent ...
