Tea Bag Corner Tile Guide - Step by Step

I've taken my tea bag folding to the next level. I've designed acrylic tiles so that I can use any small stamp to create unique tea bag folded medallions. The pictures below show how to use the tiles. Click on the image if you would like to view a bigger image.

Next Class at Scrapbook Haus

I will be back in New Braunfels on May 1st to teach another tea bag folding class. This time you will learn the basic square fold and the square fold variation one. You will make three cards using the same basic fold, but for three completely different looks. One card is an easel card that will show each of the four stamps on the tea bag folding cube and the basic square fold medallion. The next card will be on acetate where both sides of the stamped medallion can be enjoyed. The last card you will learn how to use any small stamp to make a symmetrical stamped medallion. We will use an acrylic Gemlet to position the stamps. Hope to see you there!
