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 - Simply Sparkling

  Hi there Creators, Today I was playing around with this new set I received, and then couldn't resist sharing it with you too. Oh My Goodness, wow this "Simply Sparkling" is such a great bundle, I have a feeling I'll be using it a fair bit in the future! It's an "online exclusive", which simply means it's not in the catalogue, but it is in the "online catalogue" as it were. Anyway onto the creations..... This bubbles die is the main reason I was so attracted to this set, and these are the 2 mini cards I made in the video:  How cool is this die?! (so exciting) I have to admit the little half orange segment looked so much like a mini pizza when I first cut it out...... something to try....... I was trying to work out what the little heart shaped piece is meant to be, and have now worked out it's meant to be a peach - Ah ha light bulb moment! 🤣  (also works well as a heart!)  The dies are absolutely fabulous! Anyway I also had to play wi...
