The example project uses free printables from http://www.teabagfolding.circleofcrafters.com, visit this link to choose different papers for your card.

This card would be great for any occasion depending on the colors or printed papers used. Besides the free printables provided at the links above, for this project you will need a blank 5" X 7" greeting card or cut your own(10" X 14" ) from cardstock of your choice and a piece of 4" X 4" cardstock that is that same color as your blank greeting card.

First, trim 'Free Printables Part 2' so that it is 6" high(original height) by 4 1/8" wide. Also cut out 12 of the squares provided in 'Free Printables Part 1'. Each square should be 1.5" X 1.5" .

Now center the trimmed version of 'Free Printables Part 2' on the front of your blank greeting card and glue it in place. Next, fold four of the squares from 'Free Printables Part 1' in half so they form triangles, glue them closed and then glue them to the corners of your card with the folded edges toward the center of the card.

Next you will be mounting a tea bag folded medallion to a 4" X 4" piece of cardstock then placing this on your card front. The 4" X 4" piece of cardstock will be placed on your card so it makes a diamond shape. Trim the excess paper on the left and right sides to make it fit on your card.

To make the medallion on the front of the 4" X 4" card stock, fold 8 of the squares provided into kites following the illustrations below:




After step 4, when you turn each one over, they should look like kites. Make 8 of these. Arrange them on the 4" X 4" piece of cardstock as shown below.



Now glue everything in place, add embellishments if desired, and admire your finished greeting card.
