Cinderella Tea Bag Folded Card


This card was created from one patterned paper. It is the right 12x12 sheet of the Cinderella papers by Sandylion. I was able to use the corner print as the background for the card. The top portion of the paper is beautifully stamped with a tea bag folding stamp by Impression Impression (Cube 1). A little stickles added a bit of sparkle to the card and even the brad. It's done!

G*C*D Studios Tea Bag & Iris Folded Cards

G C D Studios paper was great working with. It's not too thin, it's not too thick. It is double sided and makes dimensional tea bag folds.

I carefully cut the squares from the striped paper making sure that all eight were identical. This created the symetrical medallion. The smaller medallion I made smaller squares and alternated papers. The brads were white and colored with a permanent marker to match the papers. I also colored clear crystals with the permanent marker to make them match.

The iris fold opening was cut using a the cuttlebug and the nestabilities Label One die. I cut a frame using two of the die cuts. After I cut the frame and embossed it, I left the dies in place to ink the the embossed section. Jimmye Sue created the iris fold design and completed the card. Complete supplies listed below.

Alota Fall Card

I wanted to try something new and had a chance to make a sample card for Scrapbook Haus. Alota Rumber Stamps has tea bag folding stamps and I foiund them at Scrapbook Haus. It's the season for fall, y'all so I wanted to create a card with the leaves. I stamped and embossed the image with Copper Embossing powder. Then I painted the leaves with Twinkling H20s. After the paint dried, I cut out eight images and followed the Tea Bag Folding Lesson on the Alota website. This is a great card!

Moxxie Kite Fold & Iris Fold Cards

Jimmye Sue and I have created a couple of sample cards for Scrapbook Haus in New Braunfels. We both took Tea Bag & Iris folding classes at Scrapbook Fever from Debbie V years ago. Jimmye Sue loves to do the iris folding and I love the tea bag folding. We can each do both, but each migrated to different styles of paper folding as favorites.

Here we used the same patterned papers and look at the difference in the cards!!! I love the sentiment stamp from Texana Designs.
