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 There Creators join me today as I show you how to make the most of your clear blocks! Before the video I had actually managed to create a couple of cards - yay go me!! Which were these ones; To find out what I used on this first card click here:  What Heather Used   To find out what I used for this Chick Card, click here: What Heather Used  Then in the video I showed how to create this wall using clear blocks, to see what I used click here: What Heather used   In the video I mention when one of us at work gets distracted one of the other girls has a catch phrase for it "Oh look a squirrel!"  After having mentioned that, I thought, Oh squirrels would look good on top of the wall! 🤣 (good job I have squirrel stamps!) and for this card I show how to create these frames, to see what I used clear here:  What Heather used  It's actually easy to use your clear block to create cool backgrounds or as in the squirrel card, bricks.  All you do is f...

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...
