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...

Different Shaped cards

 Hi there Creators, well I set my team a challenge to come up with "different shaped cards" as in not the usual rectangle or square shape, and I thought maybe I should lead by example lol. I was trying to work out what to teach the kids at school for Christmas this year, and then got a fabulous swap in the mail of a tripod tree, which I used to make many years ago, - perfect! So here is the first card/tripod tree, which I'll be teaching the kids at Tarnagulla Primary School: it has velcro at the back to stick it together so that it can fold down, and you can write on the inside. Next I turned to my dies, and thought it would be cool to create a couple of little cards that use the dies as the shape, so first up is this using the Sunflower dies which are today have a 10% discount - yay! As you can see I've cut the large die out from folded card, but left a part at the fold that is uncut, then I've added the intricate cut flower on top.  It does make quite a small c...

Arrange a Wreath Bundle

Hi there Creators, I'm making myself a bit of a challenge to make at least 3 cards with each set of stamps/dies that I've bought, so here we are onto day 4 (not sure how long I'll be able to keep it up, but so far so good lol)  I figured while I'm making them I'm going to share them with you all (hope you enjoy it and it inspires you). Hence, I've moved onto the Arrange a Wreath Bundle today which consists of the Arrange a Wreath Stamp set and the Wreath Builder Dies .   If you end up with a bundle you save 10% on the cost of buying them (bonus) .  Anyway you're not here to hear me waffle!, on to the cards..... Soooo...... the reason I bought this set was for the wreath's, and Christmas!  however it does come with this cute "Love" heart, and flowers....and bow! For this card I've teamed it up with the Artistry Blooms Patterned Paper , which as I mentioned in the last post, I really love the grading in the paper!, also used the lovely Rain...
