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

Image
 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...

Celebrate Sunflowers bundle

Hi there! I've had a bit of an opportunity to play with some of my new bits, so thought I'd show you what I've been making up with my new Celebrate Sunflowers bundle (stamps and dies)  It's actually pretty cool the way the stamp lines up with the cut die image, so that's what I've gone with in this first card, and I really like the 2 branch/frond things.  Oh not forgetting the fact that there's new colours in this!  Bumblebee , and Just Jade .  If you can see the difference in the yellows, the flower itself is Bumblebee, and the centre of the flower is Crushed Curry .  I think the Crushed Curry is a little brighter than the Bumblebee.  also owing to the fact I don't have the ink pads yet, I've gone with Shaded Spruce for the ink colour, which really blends beautifully with the Just Jade.  this next card uses the new Magenta Madness cardstock (plus the Bumblebee, Just Jade and Shaded Spruce) I've used the Sunflower dies to cut out the ...
