Teabag Folding
I decided to have a go at something I have never done before . . . teabag folding. Although I found some nice examples online I have decided it is not something I want to pursue. It is just not for me. That being said, I did make two cards before I came to that conclusion.
For the first card I printed the squares and made the medallion according to the directions I found HERE but I don't think it looks like it is supposed to. Oh well! I cut the apperture with a round Nestie and then embossed around it with a larger Nestie according to the directions in the video HERE. The stamp is a $1 stamp from Michaels and the butterflies are a Martha Stewart punch. The punch has one large and 2 small butterflies but after punching them I lost one of the small butterflies. When I find it I will add it to the card!
For the second card I started following directions for a different fold to make another medallion but got lost along the way so I just made more of what I had and came up with this. I mounted the folds on a piece of white cardstock that I punched with a Martha Stewart border punch, added some half pearls and called it a day! No more teabag folding for me!
