Materials…
- Buzzcraft Designer Collection tea bag papers (BCTB 0008)
- Buzzcraft patterned paper (BCAG 0009)
- Posie Pink and Bubblegum Bazzill Basics cardstock
- yellow brad
To create…
1 To do the corner tea bag fold, fold a tea bag tile diagonally, unfold, and fold the other diagonal. Unfold, turn over and fold in half. Unfold, and fold the other way.
2 Unfold your tile, and pinch the sides together to push up the middle like an umbrella to form a triangle. Crease firmly.
3 Bring a corner of the top layer to the top, tucking it behind. Repeat for the other side to form a square on top of a triangle.
4 Fold seven more tiles in this way. Push the triangle edge under the square of the first shape, with the top points together. Take the third shape, and this time join it so the square of the third shape goes beneath the second square. Continue alternating the squares until you have used up all the shapes, creating the effect of four squares on top.
5 Make up a Posie Pink hexagonal card blank. Layer hexagonal matts of Bubblegum and Posie Pink cardstock and patterned paper onto the front.
6 Affix a yellow brad in the middle of your tea bag medallion, and glue in the centre of the card. Cut two bees from a spare tea bag tile, and attach with foam pads. Finish with a peel-off greeting at the bottom.

Lovely shaped card that gives it a wow factor. What lovely soft feminine colours. Tea bagging is generic and can be used for anybody and any time or occasion.
