Tea Bag Origami Folding Cards
After watching one of Gaynor Boyce's YouTube videos showing the cards sent in for my Cancer Card Challenge, I decided to have a go at the Tea Bag Origami Folding that I had seen on some of the sent in cards. By the way they were stunning so you should go and take a look! Anyhow, I searched YouTube to find out how to make these beautiful patterns and found a YouTubber called 'Origami Twist' who has a variety of different video tutorials demonstrating from the simplest Tea Bag Fold which is actually a non-fold pattern (I think I have heard it called a Pin-Wheel before now too) right up to very complex folding patterns. Here is a link to one her earlier videos.
So below you will see a number of photographs of different cards I have made with the Tea Bag Origami Folding Patterns starting with the Non-Fold one.
So this Non-Fold Tea-Bag Origami Fold Pattern is on a White card base (5 x 5"), with a Black Floral patterned paper (4 3/4 x 4 1/2") which was adhered straight to the card base. Then there is a Grey Stitched die cut square (3 1/4 x 3 1/4") which was gifted to me by Nina Tanner and adhered on top of this is the Grey, Black and White Spotty Non-Fold Tea-Bag Origami Fold Pattern. I adhered a large Grey rhinestone to the middle of the pattern and the sentiment was stamped onto a banner "So happy for you" with a couple of Black rhinestones for embellishment too.
This next card is on Origami Twist's YouTube site named "TeaBag Folding 1". It is on a Vanilla card base (5 3/4 x 4 1/8") and the next layer is a die cut Blue card stock scalloped rectangle (4 3/4 x 3 3/4) which was gift to me by Karen Camposano. The TeaBag is created using a Vanilla coloured patterned paper with Red, Green and Blue butterflies on it. The layers are all adhered straight to each other using double sided tape so give it strength to stay together. The sentiment on this card was in my craft stash which says "Sending Lots Of Love On Your Birthday" and is 'popped up' on foam pads. Finished off with three Blue small rhinestones on the top left-hand corner.
This TeaBag is called 'TeaBag Folding 2' on Origami Twist's YouTube Channel It is on a White card base (4 7/8 x 4 7/8") which a Black, Green and Orange patterned paper background layer (4 5/8 x 4 5/8") which is adhered straight to the card base. The White doily (4 1/2") is adhered to the patterned paper layer and then the TeaBag Fold Pattern is adhered to the doily with double sided tape for strength. The embellishment on this card is a White material flower with a clear Rhinestone in the centre. There is not sentiment on this card at present, when I know who it is going to I will stamp the sentiment inside the card.
This is 'TeaBag Fold 6' on the YouTube channel above. It is on a White card base (5 x 4 3/4"), which has a Black and White polka dot patterned paper (4 3/4 x 4 1/2") adhered straight to it. Again there is a White doily (4 1/2") and the TeaBag Fold 6 which measures (4 x 4") is in the same Black and White polka dot patterned paper as the background layer. The centre has been finished off with a large Black rhinestone and the sentiment was a spare from Stampin' Up Colour Me Happy Card Kit saying "OH HELLO".
It is on a Vanilla card base (4 3/4 x 4 3/4") with a Butterfly patterned paper (4 3/8 x 4 3/8") adhered straight to it. The White doily (4 1/2") is adhered to the patterned paper and then the Paper Star Medallion TeaBag Fold 3 is adhered with double sided tape onto the doily for strength. The sentiment "CELEBRATE" again is a spare from the Stampin' Up Colour Me Happy Card Kit and it matched the light blue butterflies on the patterned paper. I popped this up on foam pads in the centre of the TeaBag Fold.
All the envelopes were completed the same, I stamped the sentiment "Happy Mail" alongside the image of the duckling delivering the envelope. This I hope ensures that the recipient of my cards knows that they are not getting a bill!
I hope you have enjoyed looking at the different projects on my blog page and you will visit Origami Twist's YouTube channel to find out how to create your own TeaBags. Please let me know what you think of my projects, I love to read your comments.
