Supplies List for the Card:


The Backing Paper for the card is the Bold Botanicals Paper set - https://shop.obyd.co.uk/b/ExTSb

This is page 1 from the kit


It was printed onto my fav photo paper which you can find on amazon here: https://amzn.to/40LXN0V


The card blank is a Craft Uk pre scored card blank you can find it on amazon here: https://amzn.to/42m5wE5


The beautiful black non shed glitter sheets can be found here: https://amzn.to/4atSR3M


The sentiment is from my "sentiments tub" i have a pre-cut little sentiments stash from previous sheets and kits so i can colour and occasion match when needed.


The black ribbon - https://amzn.to/40kHw1e


The gems are from my stash - they were crystal/ clear ones i coloured them with my black alcohol marker (or you can use a sharpie) I have an abundance of clear gems at the moment so i have been colouring mine with my markers to match the colours on my cards.


I used the bold botanical sheets to print off the squares using my "printer settings" on the computer - i set to print 9 copies to the page and this gave me the tiles on one page to print off ready to start my tea bag folding. It gives me 3 rows of 3 tiles.


This was printed onto 120gsm paper to make it easier for folding



I created a loopy edge circle mat using a old nesting die set and some of the non-shed glitter card as a base to lay my tea bag folded topper/ embellishment.


I was very lucky to have been shown many years ago different tea bag folding techniques, if there is enough interest i will do a little tutorial for these so please let me know if this is something you would like to see.


I popped a little punched flower that i punched using more of the black glitter card in the centre of the tea bag folded embellishment and then added a gem.


I used a tape pen for glueing down the main backing paper and to secure my ribbon in place - i love Crafters Companion tape pens - https://amzn.to/40FFsSZ


I used my hot glue gun to fix down the mat and folded embellishment


I used my Hunkydory foam pads to raise up the sentiment - https://amzn.to/4g8LTCC

April 28, 2026 Pretty Carnations Card So Many Questions… Let’s Talk About Those Flowers! 💙🍃 I recently shared a card over on Facebook, and I honestly wasn’t expecting the response it received!

Flowers have always been a huge part of my life. As a fully qualified florist, I spent many years surrounded by beautiful blooms every single day.
