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...

What's retiring......

Hi Everyone, Oh my goodness I have printed out 6 pages of retiring products! there's a few things I'm really sad to see going! Some are reduced by up to 50%! (but you really best get in quick for those)  I've discovered some things are already sold out :( If you don't have the owl builder punch and always thought you'd get it, get on quick and order one! here he is just peeking out from the inside of the card! it also uses the Hardwood Stamp (not retiring yay!)   Very sad to see Gorgeous Grunge on the retiring list too as that's one I've used a LOT, great for backgrounds! Oh here it is paired with Better than Email (already gone!)  And one more for now, Birthday Fiesta , I loved this little Lama/Alpaca as soon as I saw him the stamp set is on low inventory as we "speak" however the bundle isn't on low: Birthday Fiesta Bundle Yea that Better Together (the wording for Merry Christmas and Happy Birthday in the last 2 cards, is c...

And another baby card....

Hi Everyone, Well this time I thought I'd make up a "pastels" baby card, at least it can be used for a boy or girl this one!  Who doesn't love this cute Baby Bear Stamp set ?  I'm hoping he continues into the next annual catalogue, all will be revealed on 11th April when the retiring list comes out!  I really like the way you can cut out the bow with the Holly Berry Builder Punch (yes I could hand cut but isn't it so much nicer to have an implement do it for you? lol)  I've also used the largest Lots of Labels framelit die , which the teddy fits into nicely. Oh and for the background for teddy, I've cut a mask of the teddy which I laid over him (after I realised that the So Saffron colour would show up over top of him - oops!) and used one of the Gorgeous Grunge Stamps .  It looked a bit boring plain! Hope this inspires you to create, God Bless love Heather xox

February 2017 Class Projects

Hi Everyone, Wow we're almost at the end of January!  So here are my class cards for February, class dates are Wednesday 1st Feb at our new home in Kangaroo Flat - Rosedale (10.30am), Saturday 4th Feb in Maryborough (10am), and Wed 8th Feb in Laanecoorie (eve). My mum reminded me that it's Valentines day in Feb, when I was on the phone to her yesterday, so I thought we'd best do something "Valentinesey" but as I'm not big on Valentines day, this one can be dressed up for the occasion, or just for a good friend:   I love the copper foil, and I'm pleased with the way it turned out I think the copper pairs nicely with the Cherry Cobbler colour (felt I'd better use a red for the occasion - lol)  the spots in the background are from one of my favourite Stamp sets " Gorgeous Grunge "And this saying is from " Suite Sentiments " it has some fabulous sayings in it! Ok moving onto the next card:   Yes this one does seem to be 3 ca...
