Christmas card with new teabag fold

Here is a simple little card with a new fold from Lucy called Andy's fold. It is a lot easier than it looks and is particularly nice with a snowflake paper. Once again I was being thrifty, the card was a freebie, the blue metallic card was a scrap and the sparkly snowflakes were lying around. The teabag paper is one of my own designs.

Teabag fold cards

Another of my favourite cardmaking techniques is teabag or kaleidoscope folding, which is a type of origami. You fold 8 (or less or more) papers and make them into little rosettes. This card was made using a fold I made up myself based on another fold. I designed the paper myself, as I do with all the teabag papers I use. I could never find papers that I liked in the shops so started to design them for my own use and then I started to sell them in 2005
