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...

Hi everyone, well today we had a team afternoon, I thought I'd show you all the 2 cards we all made. First of all I showed the ladies how to create a Magic Slider card,  like this (this one I'll be teaching at Bendigo Craft Alive over the 16th/17th and 18th June in a class each day) those who are in my team will have access to the full video I made of it as it's now on our team FB page.  Then I showed them how to use the Lovely Laurel Thinlits to create the inside of cards like this Lastly we made up a couple of cards with new products: this first card uses the Pretty Label Punch with the Label Me Pretty Stamp set And this other card uses the Lovely Words thinlits, and some of the Colour Theory Designer Series Paper, and the new hostess set Background Bits.  We did have fun today! if you fancy joining my team, do ask me for more details, or check out the Page above (Join my team the CreateAbles), there is an exciting Stampin' Up! event coming up i...

Sneak Peek time!

Hi Everyone, Yay my BBB's came! (short for Big Brown Box) yep they're in a wheelbarrow! had to pick them up from the postbox, and they were too heavy to just carry them (had 8 boxes of catalogues in there too) So if you'd like a catalogue let me know! Anyway these arrived on Wednesday about 1/2 hour before the kids came home - eek that doesn't give much play time!!  However I managed to squeeze a little play, so thought I'd share them with you, here goes...... this first set caught my eye when I first flicked through the new catalogue, it's called Crafting Forever, how cool are the pens/scissors/paint brushes and pot, and of course the saying!  I really felt the scissors needed to be cutting some DSP!  Oh and it's all new colours too (Yay!) Ok next up is this: This uses a stamp set called Daisy Delight, and a new punch - Delightful Daisy, Oh and new ribbon.... and new Faceted Gems (so cool) Righty Ho onto the last card I was able to create in t...
