Here is the card i made for the launch of the new Rounds not Square sheet






Step-by-Step Instructions for Tea Bag Folding technique with rounds

I know it's often easier to learn by watching, so if you're new to tea bag folding and would like a video tutorial, just let me know—I’d be happy to create one! 😊 the technique is the same as the video i did the other week.. it just looks a little different with "rounds"


I used the Easy Cut Tile sheet as the background and for the panel

I used the Rounds not Squares to make the tea bag tiles


These sheets were printed onto 120 gsm super smooth paper


How to Fold the Shape


1️⃣ Cut Your Shape

  • Use a loopy edge die to cut out a round shape (you can use a straight edge - i just like the frilly doily style edge this style of die gives.


2️⃣ First Fold

  • Fold the circle in half and press firmly.
  • Use a bone folder to score the crease for a sharp fold.


3️⃣ Second Fold

  • Open the circle back up.
  • Fold it in half again in the opposite direction to create four equal quarters (like a pie).


4️⃣ Create the Wedge Shape

  • Gently persuade the sides inward to form a wedge shape (like a cartoon wedge of cheese).


5️⃣ Final Fold

  • Fold the outer edges inward towards the centre to create the final shape


It takes 4 of these to make up the topper - you arrange them back as the 4 pieces of pie shape and glue in place matching the lines up.

  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.
