Tea-bag folded card

Card designed by Sharon M. Reinhart

I have been trying to sort through supplies and leftover kits from make and takes and classes that I have taught. Each time I find a leftover kit I get drawn away to see what different card I can create using the supplies. This is my take on one, it turned out quite a bit different from the original and I am pleased with it. My point with this post is if you find left over kits and supplies just switch it up a bit, simple changes is all that it takes to breath new life into a card. For this one I changed the tea bag fold and incorporated what I refer to as a square fold, beginning with a basic triangle fold and then adding a progression by tucking the top layer under to create a square. In my book and online/DVD class there are more complete instructions or video tutorial. If you are having difficulty finding any of them please leave a message and I will see if I have it in stock or if I can point you in the right direction to purchase.

The other change was to borrow more squares of the printed paper from an additional kit, originally prepped for the tea bag folding and repurpose them by cutting in half and then creating a border at the top and bottom of the card.

Another simple variation, was to change the orientation, originally a portrait card that I changed to landscape. An addition of a few punched flowers and adhesive gems and this one is good to go! I hope you have been inspired to create!
