Supplies List:


Square 300gsm 5"x5" card blank - https://amzn.to/3EglXYg

I love the sturdiness of these cards!


The pretty plaid paper is from the Paper Addicts Core Pretty Pastels set - https://shop.obyd.co.uk/b/F5dON


I printed the sheet onto 120gsm paper and used it for the background as well as cutting 4 - 2"x2" tiles to use for my folds. I use Navigator 120gsm for this - i get it from Asda for £5 a ream. If they don't have it in your store have a look online and see if you can click and collect it. This is a really nice weight for folding the paper.


The pretty lacy die is from Spellbinders - you can find it here: https://amzn.to/4h34n8H


The sentiment is from one from my topper sheets (i have a little tub of left-over sentiments from other projects)

I used some gems and ribbon from my stash


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/40ss3fE


I used my tacky glue for my intricate die cuts - This is the one i used for this card - https://amzn.to/4g9N2d7 - (i do decant this into a fine nozzle bottle)


If you are new to tea bag folding take a look at my previous 2 posts to see some other cards made using the same technique.

  Let’s Talk About Those Flowers! 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! I’ve had so many lovely comments, questions, and private messages about how I created the flowers — thank you so much 💙 It has got to the point where it’s just physically impossible to reply to everyone individually, so I thought the easiest (and most helpful!) way would be to put everything together here in a blog post for you.

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. Although I hung up the snips from day-to-day shop life quite a while ago, my love for flowers and plants has never gone away. I still enjoy dipping back into floristry now and again—whether that’s creating special gifts, working on events, or the occasional wedding.
