More Baby Cards

More of my creations from folding tiles at the hospital. I figured who doesn't need a baby card every now and then. I brought home the completed medallions and used my Design Studio and Cricut for matting.

What cha think?

Chatterbox & Metallic

Early Chatterbox paper is a great weight for teabag folding. I've been going through my stash and creating. I combined the old Chatterbox with the new midnight metallic paper and absolutely love it. I even had a few Chatterbox quotes for the inside of my cards.

Upcoming Class at Wendaful Scrapbooks, Aug 1st

I've got another great tea bag folding class scheduled at Wendaful Scrapbooks in Temple on August 1st. That is a day filled with eight different Christmas card classes. You may choose four of the eight classes.

In the tea bag folding class we will make two cards that begin with the basic triangle fold. One will be a Christmas tree and the other will be a wreath. We will be using Cosmo Cricket paper and Bazzil's Dotted Swiss. I will also show you how to make a perfect bow.

The cards below will not be made in the class, but show samples of what you can make using the same folds just different sizes and placement. I hope to see you there.

Tea Bag Folding with Stripes

Note to self:

I can never remember which way to make the valley fold so that my medallion is symmetrical. When folding tea bag tiles with a stripe, make all eight valley folds with the strips going horizontally. This will allow the variation two to come together and match making a great visual impact. If you are cutting scrapbook paper you would want to try to get all of the stripes in the same cut. One way to do this is cut a strip 1 1/2" wide running with the stripe. Then cut your eight 1 1/2" squares from that strip. All will be identical. If you want bigger tiles, try to get the strip lined up on the same cutting edge, then cut eight tiles. Many times if they do not match up, I will alternate the folded tiles to keep some sort of symmetry in my medallion.

Brights on Black

Here is another set that I started at the hospital. This is absolutely one of my favorites. I love the colors. I love everything about these. This one needs the inside mat with the white blank for the sentiment. I would be great for a recycling card. Now, just if I knew what paper I used. I got it at a LLS, but they don't have it any more. I'd make more if I could!

Five Sizes, Three Fold Variations

So many times I forget what size tile makes each medallion. Finally I decided to make a note to self and I thought I would share it with you here.

1” square tile = 1 ½” medallion
1 ¼” square tile = 2” medallion
1 ½” square tile = 2 ¼” medallion
1 ¾” square tile = 2 ½” medallion
2” square tile = 3” medallion

I have found so many great sites in the internet for tea bag folding and free tiles. For this example, I printed the same black & white tile on five different colored papers and in all five sizes available. This tile is available on Rosemarie's Tea-Bag Folding Website.

Below are my photo notes as to size tile and medallion. I used three different variations of the same fold. I love the different looks with how the medallions are assembled. Thanks for looking.
