Big News

I have some exciting news. The amazingly talented designer, Lisa Horton, has asked me to join her Design Team as she embarks on her new venture!

I decided to make a card to go with my announcement. I used her Scalloped Square Dies to make this tea bag folding card. All the layers as well as the tea bag squares were cut from the one set of dies. The papers are from Nitwits and printed onto Aviator paper. The stopper is a stacked sentiment by Sue Wilson. I cut three of them and glued them together. 

A Card From A Class & Blog Candy Winner

I went to a card class last Friday and made the following card with tea bag folding down the side. I like the non-traditional Black and Red with Siler Mirri. I thought it was very effective. The tea bag folding was easy but time consuming. I think I'm going to use this style again but add my own twist to it.

I'm going to enter it into the Oh Alice challenge which is to use tea bag folding on your project.

Elzybells Challenge 20 - More Than 1 Fold

I know I haven't updated in a while but I've been away on a residential. Took children climbing and abseiling - in fact it was my first time doing abseiling as a leader. I enjoyed sitting on the edge of a crag just dangling over the edge. All went well and a good time was had.

Anyway, onto the card. I got thinking about folds as that was the theme of the Elzybells challenge and thought how long it's been since I did any teabag folding - mainly because I didn't have any of the papers. So I got thinking and thought about using a stamp to create my own papers and this was the result:

It took ages to make as I had to fold each one, then unfold it to be able to stamp in the right place and then re-fold each one. Really pleased with the result but will definetly only make another one for a special occasion due to the time it took to make.

I created the backing paper by stamping the same sundae image using watermark ink so that it all ties in. All the images are from Elzybells including the sentiment.
