Tea Bag Medallions

I love making Tea Bag Medallions...
I also Love designing the actual Tea Bags too... I have made literally millions and millions of them... and then I create the exact size of the tea bag I need for my project... it can be from 1 inch square to 6"square... but generally I use about a 1.5 inch square tile... and print them out, cut them all out and then FOLD each piece exactly the same way... and then turn it into a medallion... so the actual medallion can take me anywhere from an hour to a couple of hours to make from beginning to the end..

This one is one of the many wreaths that I love to make... the tile is one with pinks and greens... so since this just so happens to be a favorite color combination.. .I use it often... The green background paper I also made with a resist technique... and then used the Martha Punch to create the Hearts... and a Spellbinder to create the black lace... the paper where the wreath is put on... I also painted and made that paper with my H20's... what else..


This GOLDEN wreath was made with a little bit of a different fold... and then all fitted one into the next until it formed a wreath...
The rust paper was on my workshop table... as I had punch the bird out for another card!!! And so there it was... needing to be used... so I put a yellow border down the left side... and piece of ribbon over the center... added some pearls on the corners... and a bow on the wreath.. and it was done...



This card... Oh my goodness ... I love these Beeswax background stamps... this one is the daisy one... and I used a resist technique on this paper too.. .and then used my Ranger reinkers to color... a little Martha lace.. and then some K and Company paper... and a medallion to match... a little flower from Pretties from Bonnie collection... and a nice peach pearl.. .and it is another Birthday card... ready to go..

Another simple card... I used a sketch design 273 to create this card...
The background paper is uncut ta bag tiles... they match the tiles I used for the medallion... Then a piece of paper I made with Twinkling H 20's... (just a little note for those of you who have never seen this paper painted... the paper twinkles... there is mica in the paint... it is very delicate and elegant... ) Then a scalloped circle cut from a spellbinder.. with pearls all around the sides... I pleated some paper... and added pearls around the four corners... and put the Happy Birthday on the pleats... Very simple for me...
