A friend of mine came back from a trip to Japan recently and she gave me a large packet of Japanese Origami papers as a gift. Some of them are hand painted and textured. Not sure what I could make with them at first so I thought I would make some gift card holders, or theatre ticket holders or something with a pocket to tuck a cash gift into. 
I have used the Real red cardstock with Basic black and whisper white accents. This pocket is just made by folding the cardstock over and gluing with adhesive at the base. The scallop square will hold the ticket or gift card neatly behind it.
I have used the scallop square punch to act as a faux lock on the edge of the card. On the first card I folded the square diagonally and on the other lengthwise. The sentiment "for you" I have mounted on basic black cardstock cut out with the scalloped oval punch. (This is still available to order through me, if you thought you had missed out).
The card is cut from half a piece of A4 cardstock, cut lengthwise and folded in thirds.
The third fold of the card is cut diagonally to form the pocket and a square of patterned paper placed behind. 
They would also be useful to give a chocolate in, or a fancy flavoured t-bag, or ask me to make one for you with a special stamping Joy gift certificate that your family could give to you.
Enjoy!!
Just reminding you that at the end of this month we say good bye to all the gorgous products in the Stampin' up Spring mini ....
The white stazon ink?
The too die for Parisian breeze textured cover weight papers that ooh, la la french tole pattern?
Forest friends with Bambi, thumper, wise old owl and the tree?
The real red, Old Olive, baja breeze and chocolate chip of Ski slope papers?
Great friend butterflies flitting across a field of grass... perhaps never to be seen again?
I will be placing an order at the end of the week... is there anything you've forgotten or wished for?
My butterflies are embossed in silver embossing powder and attached behind the spine with dimensionals to lift them off the card. I have rolled the baja breeze strip with the friendly word wheel and then again on whisper white to emboss and feature as my sentiment.
The butterflies are silver embossed onto elegant eggplant and two are cut out to be popped up on dimensionals and their wings help to keep the gate of the card shut.
The answer is Stampin' up's heat and stick powder!!! 
Step 1. Stamp your image with Versamark ink. Hint: It is stickiest when just stamped, so don't let it dry out before putting the heat and stick powder on it.
Step 2. Cover the image in heat and stick powder. Then shake it off and return the excess powder to the container.
Step 3. Heat the powdered image with a heat tool until it looks wet and sticky.
Step 4. Cover the now sticky image with Dazzling Diamonds glitter. Then pour the excess back into the container.
Step 5. Heat it again gently, (very quickly this time) just to set it. Your glitter will be firmly in place it won't fall off now when your recipient touches it ... 
Here is another image I have covered in glitter with the heat and stick powder: I tried all the gallery stamps and then one of my favourites from the Great friends stampset ... I particularly like this butterfly especially this one with leaves and vines through it, so it deserves a pink super fine gletter that stays where it's put.
Here it is combined with the dazzling diamonds gallery frame and a raised circle to give it all another layer of dimension. Wish I could show you how it glitters in the light.
The finished project is on a whisper white cardstock base, basic black and pink passion cardstock. Now to sweep up the mysteriously scattered glitter from the carpet, chair and clothes...
And finally, my daughter (6) has used one of the butterflies on a card for her friend. It also uses forest friends, with the great friends for you stamp in the top right corner. I love how the reindeer says hello and the sun that shines down on it all.
Hope you enjoyed this tutorial! There are instructions that come with the product but if you are like me you like a few pictures to illustrate the finer details. Enjoy!
Once again I have rock and rolled the butterfly in pink pirouette and riding hood red and used a brad to hold the buttlerfly in its place on the damask medallion on whisper white cardstock. 
The butterfly is my favourite and I have used it a lot in the last two months and I still keep using it on new cards .... like this one that I have stamped white stazon ink on transparent acetate.
I then stamped a piece of velum with black stazon with the "you're a friend..." stamp inside the curly frame, cut it out and placed it on a piece of so saffron wide grosgrain ribbon.
This painting has always made me think of playing with my brother and sister in the sand hills at the beach where we lived when I was 8 to about 12. We were very happy just chasing the dog and each other through the planted grasses, sliding down the sand hills on cardboard and exploring the waters edge for hours and getting into very little trouble considering. 
If you haven't guessed white stazon ink is my favourite product at the moment.
The first one I made is on a piece of glossy white cardstock, sponged with baja breeze ink, matted with the gorgous Pacific point patterned paper (polka dots). The edge of the patterned paper is punched with the eyelet border punch. A piece of Pacific point ribbon tied around the centre and stuck to a whisper white love note card.
My second card is pretty similar as you can see - I have tied the ribbon higher and knotted it before adhereing behind the patterned paper once again in pacific point patterns. I have stamped the Great friends butterfly with white stazon ink on to glossy white cardstock you can just see the image here.
and sponged it evenly, all over with the pacific point ink:
The white butterfly is rubbed over with a tissue to remove any excess ink before it dries. 
You could make a box of say 10 0f these for a gift, or to give when people do nice things for you either to say thank you or thinking of you or to write a little note. In October it is World Card making day so what will you be sending on 3rd October to your friends?
