Tea Bag Folding Card Sample
Featuring Triangle Folds
June 13th


I have had a blast preparing for this class. I've made so many different medallions that it is simply shameful. If you are in the area and didn't get to take the class, please check and see if there are still class kits available for purchase.

Wow!!! The class was great. I had a great bunch of ladies in the class and the cards looked wonderful. Thank you all for attending and happy "folding".

Happy St Patricks Day

Go ahead, ask me what I did Sunday night in front of the TV? Yup, I folded tea bag tiles. I'm afraid I'll be doing these in my sleep soon. I really do like the way they turned out. Every different paper results in such a completely different look. Thanks for sharing and enjoy the luck of the Irish!

Wild Cards

A few weeks ago JoJo brought her Expressions to a scrap and I got to play with the new cartridge and full 12x12 paper. I made the house and door envelope. The inside of the envelope matchs too.



I just had to play with the owl. I made him on my baby bug but needed the big bug for the cool envelope. I had to settle for a standard 5 1/2" square envelope. I love this cool card. The inside says "greetings wise one".



I modified the Thanks card by simply changing the sentiment to "HI" and was able to finish this one on the baby bug. I'll have to use a premade envelope unless I don't mail it until I see JoJo next.



I simply love this cartridge. It's got so much potential. Each card has a matching envelope with a liner. There are phrases, icons and frames in addition to the blackout and an alphabet.

February? Where did it go?

On February 13th I found the Cricut Cartridge, WILD CARD, on sale and just had to have it. I spent all night and most of the next day making Valentine Day cards for loved ones. They did get the card before Valentine's Day was over, but had to let me take them the next day for show and tell when I scrapped with some good friends.



I am limited with the cartridge in that I don't have the expressions. There are a lot of cards that I can make and I do have a friend that has the expressions who's been kind enough to share with me. I'll post more cards later.



I woke up one night and dreamed up this tea bag folded heart. I mulled it over in my mind a number of days, then finally had to try it. I think it turned out pretty cute.

First Night Austin 2009

We spent New Year's Eve with family and friends at First Night Austin. A little after 8:00 the resolution clock was ignited and burned to the ground. As always, my sweetie got some great shots.


The grand finale was the fireworks show at midnight. It was 20+ straight minutes of fantastic fireworks. We watched from the north shore of Lady Bird Lake, so the pics were not as spectacular as the show. We really like to be at the Stevie Ray Vaughn statue for the best fireworks.


If you've never experienced First Night Austin, you don't know what you are missing. It's a great family event. Hope to see you there next year!

Anyway, I looked up and it's already the middle of the month. Where does the time go? I wish all of you a super fine '09.

Tea Bag Folding Baby Cards

Yes, I know I'm a little card crazy but these are so dang fun! Every sheet of paper I look at I wonder what kind of card I could make from it. It also frustrates me that there is such a limited supply of non-gender papers out there for babies. That makes it really hard for me to have a stash on hand for the unknowns. I hope you like these.

This set of cards is designed from the same fold, but with completely different looks as to how you put the pieces together. I alternated yellow ducks and yellow gingham squares then mounted them on yellow dotted paper. I used the Texana Designs "Congratulations" stamp for the sentiment.
This design is teabag folding using a kite fold. Again I tried to stay with the peach and greens so that it could be used for a baby boy or baby girl. I found printed scrapbook paper that had teddy bears in quilted squares. I used those as my top layer of the medallion and a coordinating scrapbook paper for the back layer. A matching brad and mounted on a coordinating mat was perfect. I can't decide if I like the monochromatic peach card or the contrasting green and yellow card. One has the Texana Stamp embossed in white on it, the other uses the Class A Peel sticker sentiment. Both are lovely.

This medallion uses still a different tea bag fold. I love this fold because it is so versatile. This sample has both arms folded down, but you can fold only one arm down or don't fold either down. They are put together the same way, but each look different. I ran out of time so I didn't make samples of each of those. The patterned paper has baby umbrellas on a pastel yellow. And again used the Congratulations stamp from Texana designs to finish the card. This kit is available in pink, blue or green.

I made instructions and kits for each of the designs above for a craft show this past weekend. I have some left. If you are interested in purchasing a kit for the card, please let me know.

Texas Shaped Iris Folded Cards

With a little help from Jimmye Sue at Texana Designs, we developed a card kit with a Iris Folded Texas shape. We used the wonderful stamps from Texana Designs, "Stamps with a Texas Flair". We made some that are blank for you to personalize. We made some that wish you a "Merry Texmas". I hope you like them. I just love the way that the paper changes the looks completely. I created card kits so that anyone can do it!

I was even more thrilled that my mom sat down and helped me make her Christmas cards. She's always been crafty, but left the paper crafts to me until this year. Way to go mom! See all nine below. She suspects she will have difficulty deciding who gets what.
