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...

Cards for May classes

 Hi there Creators It's that time again, where I show off next months class cards.  The class dates are Wednesday 3rd May 10.30am in Laanecoorie, Thursday 4th at 7pm in Laanecoorie, then Saturday 6th at 10.30am in Maryborough.  New Catalogues should be with everyone by now, if you don't have one and want one, get in touch! Just a heads up that this month will still be $20 for the 4 cards, however due to rising costs I do need to increase my prices, and I'll be increasing by $1 per card - so $24 for the 4 cards.  Here goes..... First up I've used the new Zoo Crew (that will be available from 2nd May) to create this cute card Then after showing a friend how to use these Give it a Whirl Dies the other day I figured we should do this in class too (they're so much fun!)  I've teamed it up with Alphabest and Waves of Inspiration so the wheel says U R Totally Awesome, as it goes round Back to new stuff again, and this time the gorgeous Cheerful Daisies Stamp set (it...

Something Saturday - Give it a Whirl Dies

Image
 Hi There Creators My video this week is on how to use the Give it a Whirl Dies (kind of wishing I'd got them sooner!)  Anyway I show off how I use them, and showed these first 2 cards that I'd created, since then I've made up the next 2, so it shows off all the 4 windows/apertures in the die set. This first card uses the Trees for Sale Stamp set  This second card uses the fabulous Alphabest bundle (stamps and punch)  I couldn't fit all the letters in a row, but I think it works ok lol. Then these last 2 are the ones I hadn't made up in the video, I went with Love, Joy and Peace in the rectangular peep hole, and embossed the front with the Whimsical Woodland 3D folder   Thought I'd better show you what I used to sandwich the 2 parts together, so the spinner piece will spin! these Foam Adhesive strips are so useful.       And I got the clouds in - Yay! lol this card I just added the designer paper to the whole wheel so as it moves round it's con...
