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 Windmill Fields dies

 Hi there Creators well as I mentioned last week I thought I'd have a go with the dies this week!  I love the way you can get the windmill vanes to spin - took a little bit of playing with but I got there in the end. Here is the finished article... How cool eh? I'm also quite partial to the cute little bike lol.  as the windmill vanes are quite delicate, I've doubled up the cardstock layer for it, and also strengthened the middle with some window sheeting. As I picked Balmy Blue card for the base, it meant I could add fluffy white clouds on top, using the cloud dies as stencils and using the White Craft Ink, then using some scrap paper to create a line I've added granny apple green below for some grass. To see what I've used, click this link:  What Heather Used And here is the video:  I hope this inspires you to create God Bless love Heather xox

Something Saturday - Tulip Fields

Image
 Hi there Creators, well finally the Tulip Fields came off the ship and into stock.... and then out to me! Today in my video I showed the Tulip Fields Bundle, and then only used the stamp set to create a quick and easy card.  However I did figure I could use the dies next Saturday, so come back again to find out what I do with the dies! However today's video, in one of our Stampin' Up! events one of the demos used this set, and showed us how to line up the perspective Tulip fields Here is the card I created: I have to admit if I was making again, I think I'd stamp the windmill first, as I stamped it after the tulips and it kind of "floated" above them, hence the line of blue border flowers! Anyway lining up the triangles is quite easy, stamp the long double one first, to create the "horizon", then the middle one, then 2 more either side - lets face it how many times do you see flowers really precise?, so I reckon we can get away with it being "close...
