I do love a piece of pizza - especially when it's homemade! This little pizza box wouldn't fit much pizza in - but is perfect for a small card or gift.
My place to share my makes, thoughts and general musings!! Mostly on crafting things - but occasionally on others!!
About Me
- Papercraft By Carole
- I'm a retired primary school teacher, who started paper crafting in 2008, when I had a fancy to make my own Christmas cards. Since then, I have tried all sorts of techniques and styles - and I kind of like them all. I have been lucky enough to be on blog teams and large design teams and to do a bit of freelance demonstrating - and I love the challenge of working with different products. My crafting style is very varied - from junk journaling and art journaling, bookbinding and journal making, to quilting and patchwork - and of course I still make cards. This variety keeps me interested - and my crafty stash growing!! I'm always seeking inspiration for new projects.

Medallion Tea Bag Folding
Today's share is another of my teabag folding samples using Creative Expressions Dies by Jamie Rodgers - Tea Bag Folding Dies - Octagons.
I have adapted the Square Zig Zag fold from Handcrafted Greetings. Click on the picture to take a look at the video of how I made this.

Tea Bag Wreath
Here's a different way of using the tea bag folding dies from Jamie Rodgers for Creative Expressions. I used both of the dies from the Octagons set to create this. I used the Open Centre Star from Handcrafted Greetings . It's for a square piec, so I had to adapt it slightly -click on the picture to see the video demonstration.

Octagons!
This is an octagon easel card I made using the Octagon Tea Bag Folding dies from Creative Expressions Craft dies by Jamie Rodgers.
I used the largest die to draw around and extend, in order to create the easel and the mats and layers.
