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, We're doing Never Ending Cards on Tuesday 17th October, if you'd like to join in, the classes are 10.30am and 7.30pm, or you can order a kit from me.  I can't stamp the kit, but you can add your own images, as the main part will be in the kit (cardstock, cut and scored and Designer Series Paper) and the gate will be cut out too (for card #2) Here are the 2 cards we'll be making, they each have 4 "pages" so I've done a little video for each, otherwise it would have to be 8 photos! Card #1 uses the Bundle of Love Specialty Designer Series Paper , along with Musical Season Stamp set and matching Musical Instrument Dies (comes as a bundle - yay!) Card #2 uses the gorgeous Detailed Gate thinlit , Vintage Leaves Stamp set , Number of Years Stamp set and Large Numbers Framelits , and also the Wood Textures Designer Series Paper .  Isn't the gate so gorgeous? If you are interested in ordering the kit, or coming to one of the clas...

EurekaStamper challenge day 3

Hi Everyone, Yay made it to day 3!  The challenge today was to take 1 stamp set and use ALL of the stamps in it in 1 project/card. I really wasn't sure how to incorporate a heap of sayings into 1 card, so I took the easy option and chose Vintage Leaves Stamp set , which doesn't have any sayings lol So I also borrowed a saying from Rose Wonder Stamp set .  I really couldn't work out what to say on this card, was thinking of it being a "sympathy" card, but I think this saying works nicely. The leaves in the background are inked up first with Soft Suede ink , then I've used sponge daubers to add Garden Green , Early Espresso , and Cajun Craze . The 2 leaves in the left bottom corner are done, by layering up gold heat embossing powder on a piece of card, so you press the versamark into the card, dust over the embossing powder and repeat, around 5-6 layers thick, then quickly pressing a stamp into it (then it's cut out), nice thing I did discover is th...
