The card below was made by Sylvia Pacey - she used (and indeed designed) the FREE Peach Roses 3D Decoupage image sheet available from the 'flowers' page or clicking on the image below.

The card was finished with plenty of glitter (all of it by appearances) and peeloffs.  

The card below was made using the Lilac Aster Tea Bag folding design sheet.  USING THIS FOLD - the finished wheel was attached using a gem brad and the backing paper used was Pink Mabled Backing Paper from this site.  Finally peeloffs and gems were used to finish. 

The card below was made by using 'A Magnolia on Red Velvet - Martin Johnson Heade 3D Decoupage Sheet'.  The finished block was mounted onto a white card, and finally onto some brown laid card stock.  A green velvet ribbon was added as a border and a deckle edged insert was put inside the card.

There are matching tea bags available for this design CLICK HERE to see them.  

The cards directly below this column were made using 'Cattleya Orchid and 3 Brazilian Hummingbirds Tea Bag Folding Sheet' which is FREE (like everything else on this site)! 

The tea bags were printed out on an A4 sheet of plain copier paper and THIS FOLD was used for the top card.   The wheel was fixed to the card using a small brass brad and a spare tea bag image was pasted over the reverse of the brad (both to hide it and decorate the inside left hand flap of the card).

THIS FOLD was used for the other card (which gives a larger wheel suitable for an A5 card)  The wheel was also attached using a brad and once again the reverse of it was covered using a spare tea bag image.

You could if you wish - use these tea bags in conjunction with the Cattleya Orchid and 3 Brazilian Hummingbirds 3D Decoupage image.  (CLICK HERE) to see an example of how to combine the two.

The card below was a complicated little number.  The image used on the top of the slide up flap was 'Love on the Lookout by William Bouguereau'  - the picture underneath the slideup was 'Psyche et L'amour' - also by William Bouguereau. 

I carefully sized these images according to the size of my slide up and reveal panel.  The entire card is an A4 - so is quite large.  This was done as a commission piece so the size was dictated by the client. 

You can see the addition of organza ribbon and peeloffs liberally applied.  I did also use a backing paper from this site - Shakespeares' Summers Day in White on Pink.  I inserted this as a page on which to write the greeting, and I trimmed the edges using a fiskars cutter.

The card below was made by using 'Easter Church Window with Daffodils' and printing onto photopaper (very cheap stuff from a 99p shop is more than adequate).  The lacy border was made using a fiskars cutter and the cut strips were fixed to the rear of the decoupage block using double sided sticky tape.  I outlined the block with a silver pen.  Finally I added a silver line around the face of the card about 3mm in from the edge.  The finished card is A5 in size. 

The card below was made using 'Evening Mood-William Bouguereau 3D decoupage Sheet', this was framed using double sided tape and purple glitter.  The card was cut with a diagonal slash and finished off with some peeloffs and a stripe of Purple Marbled Backing Paper. 

This beautiful stained glass window card  made by Debbie Buttle using the Christmas Hellebore and Church Window 3D Decoupage sheet.  Debbie assembled the decoupage layers and mounted the whole thing on plain white card, finally finishing off with some peeloff embellishments in the corners.   

This Birthday Card was made by Debbie Buttle using Celtic Knot 2 Tea Bags in Green.  The 'Happy Birthday' words are from a peeloff sheet.  

The card below was made by Sylvia Pacey (she also painted the original design so all her own work!).  Sylvia used the 3D Gladiolus Flower Arrangement sheet from this site and mounted this on some plain green card.  Finally she used peeloff corners and lettering to finish.  

This card was made using the Birthday Teddy Tea Bag Folding Frame sheet, the tea bags were folded with a simple kite fold (CLICK HERE for instructions) and then the bottom points were folded up to the top of the letter frame, and then back down again, 5mm lower down (forming a 'z' fold).  These were then glued around the central bear.  You could place a photograph of the birthday child in the centre. 

The two cards illustrated below were made with the same tea bag folding design sheet 'A Magnolia on Red Velvet by Martin Johnson Heade'.  The same wheel appears on both cards - except it has been turned around between shots.  This illustrates how much variance you can achieve with the same design, simply by arranging the tea bags differently.  I think that the top card is more suitable for a man, whereas the bottom card is more floral and girly.  Anyhoo - fold number 2 was used (CLICK HERE FOR DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS).

The card was finished off with peeloffs and a deckle edged insert.

There is a 3D decoupage to match these tea bags CLICK HERE

The picture of the card below, shows two of our new designs, both used on the same card.  In the centre of the card is 'Hummingbird and Orchids - Martin Johnson Heade 3D Decoupage' - this was printed out at about 70% full size to make it correctly proportioned for the centre of this tea bag frame.  The tea bags used were 'Hummingbird and Orchids Martin Johnson Heade Tea Bag Folding Sheet'.

The tea bags were folded using my take on a starburst frame (CLICK HERE FOR INSTRUCTIONS).  Put simply - I folded 8 standard kite shapes and bent the points back in a 'Z' fold, finally sticking them to the decoupage block in such a way as to reveal the decoupage flowers.  The finished card is very 3D and was finished with a very pale version of the picture printed onto the insert sheet which was finished with fiskars edge punch.

The card below was made using the Heart and Red Flowers 3D Decoupage Design Sheet.   (This design also comes with violet and yellow flowers for those who might like these variations).

The design lends itself to a valentine, anniversary or wedding card (even an invitation or 50).  Sylvia has not use the oval background and has filled the centre of the heart with a padded satin panel.

The card below was made using the Dolphins and Sea Horse 3D decoupage sheet.  The decoupage block was made up and mounted on a piece of stiff card about 10mm larger than the block itself.  The block was framed using double sided sticky tape and green glitter, and then again using green velvet ribbon so that the backing card was completely obscured.  Glitter was added to the 'bubbles' coming up from the dolphins and the dolphins themselves were edged with the same white glitter.

The card stock was cut with a diagonal slash - and blue marbled backing paper was used at the top of the inside of the card.  Finally a peeloff border was added to the line between the marbled backing paper and the plain paper that was used for the insert.  

The card below was made using the Guitar Iris Fold Sheet and I used four colours of the marbled backing papers available from the backing papers menu (others would also work well so it is worth surfing about a bit in this section).  I used a bit of velvet ribbon, some peeloffs and glitter for the finished object - which does look a lot better and brighter than the picture here suggests.  Honest.  

The card below was made using Celtic Knot 2 Tea Bags in Pink and Green and the backing paper used was Pink Marbled Backing Paper.

The tea bags kites were overlapped at the centre fold to make this half circle/fan design.  

This polar bear card was made by Rosie Silverson using the Blue Marbled Backing Paper Sheet.  She printed the design in 'draft' mode on her printer to achieve a washed out effect for the card backing.  She printed it out again in normal mode and cut the bear scarves and outlines from it using her cricut machine.   Finally she cut the bears themselves from plain white card and assembled it using some peeloff stars to decorate.  

Rosie Silverson made this easter card (below)  using the Golden Buddha 3D Decoupage Sheet.  Being of a different spiritual bent however, she left the Buddha off and used the mountain background with the addition of a trio of clip art crosses and some cricut lettering, she cleverly made this card fit a different purpose.  

The card below is another made and designed by Sylvia Pacey.  You can download the FREE Pink Lily and White Daisy 3D Decoupage Sheet here by clicking on the thumbnail below or from the 'flowers' page on this site.  

This card was made using the Pink Rose Tea Bag folding design sheet. USING THIS FOLD.  The finished wheel was attached using a brad and the paper daisies were cut from cream and gold card with a fiskars cutter and attached with brads.  Finally peeloffs were used to finish.  

The card below was made using BOTH of the colours available for the Celtic Knot with Lizard Designs.  The outer wheel was made using a simple kite fold and trimming the outer edge of the Celtic Knot with Lizard in Blue Green Tea Bag Folding Sheet.  The inner wheel was made using the Celtic Knot with Lizard in Green Yellow Tea Bag Folding Sheet and using this fold CLICK HERE for detailed folding instructions.  

The card below was made by Sylvia Pacey - she used the 'Night Balloons' 3D decoupage sheet and peeloffs to create this design.  

The card below was made using the Baby Chick No 2 Tea Bag Folding image sheet.  The finished tea bags were folded using THIS FOLD.   The finished wheel was attached to the card using a fine ribbon through a button and this was attached to the reverse of the card with sellotape.  The sellotape and ribbon were covered with a spare tea bag.  Finally some peeloffs were added and an insert was placed inside after it had been trimmed using a fiskars edge cutter.

The card below was made by Lucie Lippins and made using '5 coloured tree frogs 3d decoupage' image sheet on this site.  Lucie turned one of the frogs using photoshop so that he was facing the other frog. (Lucie taking inspiration from Rosy Silversons new home card)

She got the background from google images and altered the hue of the picture in photoshop and added a 'paint daubs' filter.

Lucie tells me she also printed a faded version of the background lily pads onto copier paper for the insert and wrote her greeting over the top of this.   

Now a cow may seem like an odd subject for a birthday card - but my stepson is known as 'Cow' by his friends (something to do with cow print car seats in his first car) - and I thought this would be a good card for him. I always find it more difficult to find suitable images for the chaps!

This 3D Decoupage was adapted from a painting by Rosa Bonheur.  The finished 3D block was mounted on a square of black sparkle paper that was cut with deckle edge scissors. (the backing paper on the inside was the same stock and given the same treatment).  Finally some peeloffs were added for a bit of sparkle (but not too much as it did not want to make the card look girly).

Thought it would be a good card for a farmer or agricultural vet!  Got any candidates?   Click on picture to get it!

The card below was made by Rosy Silverson using the 5 Coloured Tree Frogs 3D Decoupage Sheet.  Rosie mirrored the image and printed the sheet again to achieve two frogs facing each other.  She mounted them on some 'lily pad' clip art that she found online and finally printed the lettering using her cricut machine.

This card was made using Santa and Sack 3D Decoupage Sheet.  The decoupage was assembled and simply mounted on an A5 piece of card folded in half.

This card was made by Sylvia Pacey.  She used 12 Celtic Knot 1 Blue Tea Bags and stuck them in a raised fashion to double sided tape.  The finished star was then stuck to a cut piece of A4 card and the outline on the front of the card was made using velvet ribbon, which was stuck using more double sided tape.  The backing paper is a plain sheet of purple paper.

This heart iris fold was made using four different backing papers from this site.   Pink Marbled Backing Paper, Blue Marbled Backing Paper and Purple Marbled Backing Paper were all printed onto sparkle paper and two one inch strips were cut along the full length of each.  Finally, the little triangle in the middle was filled with  Pink Pastel Flower Backing Paper.

To finish off, gold glitter was added as a border around the edge using double sided sticky tape for a clean edge.    

The card below was made using the Oval/Egg Iris Folding Template.  The papers used for the folding were also from this site CLICK HERE FOR BACKING PAPERS INDEX.  The ones used on this particular card were the marbled ones, however the floral and patchwork papers would also work well.  The insert was an old scrap of gift wrap and finally the card was finished using an organza bow and peeloffs.

This card was made using the 'Snowman 3D Decoupage' image sheet.  The decoupage block was trimmed with double sided tape and blue glitter - and a blue stripey organza bow finishes off.  A silver insert was used with a snowflake edger.

The card illustrated below uses 'Snowflake Blue' tea bag folding sheet and is A6 when finished.  CLICK HERE for the detailed folding instructions needed for this design.

The finished wheel was attached to the card using a brad and finally peeloffs were used for borders and wording.  A small insert sheet was trimmed with a fiskars snowflake cutter.  

In the card below; Holly and Snowflakes Tea Bag Folding Sheet was assembled using a No 2 fold (CLICK HERE for instructions.)

The finished wheel was attached to the A6 sized card (A5 folded) using a brad and the back of the brad was covered using a spare tea bag.  Finally peeloffs were added and an insert sheet was trimmed using a snowflake cutter (fiskars).   

The card below was made by using the 'Cattleya Orchid and 3 Brazilian Hummingbirds - Martin Johnson Heade 3D Decoupage Image sheet', which like all of the other stuff on this site is FREE.  The finished Decoupage block is simply mounted onto a piece of A4 lavender card (folded in half) and finished with a bit of organza ribbon on the right hand side.

I made this card (below) for a friends birthday. I just love the picture and it would be very suitable for a sister or close female friend.

The 3D Decoupage sheet was printed onto photo paper and the block cut out and assembled with foam blocks. 

The cardstock was laid chocolate 180gsm and this was folded and cut so that an inch or so of the insert page was visible.  The edges of the cardstock on the front of the card were trimmed using a 'seagull' pair of fancy scissors.  On the insert sheet I printed a full sized picture of the decoupage image and I adjusted the brightness so that the image is still clearly visible, but will take having a greeting written over the top.  Finally peeloff borders and wording were used.  

This simple little thank you card (below) was made using 'Starry Night Over the Rhone - Van Gogh Tea Bag Folding Sheet'.  (for instructions on how to fold CLICK HERE)  The finised 'wheel' was attached to the card through a punched hole using a ribbon through a button.  The wheel spins.  On the reverse side, a spare tea bag was glued over the ribbon ends to tidy up.  Finally a blue insert matching the button colour was cut with fancy 'victorian' edge scissors and glued in place.   

Rosie Silverson has made these beautiful gift boxes using Purple Pastel Flower Backing Paper printed onto photographic paper.  She used a cricut machine to produce the silver emblem on the boxes.  

This Tea Bag card was made using Celtic Knot 1 Blue Tea Bags.  The Backing paper used for the inside of this card was Pink Marbled Backing Paper.   The 8 kites were glued onto the back of a spare tea bag and then mounted onto the card, that had been cut with a diagonal slash prior to folding.  

This card was made using this 3D Decoupage Sheet, it was mounted on a blue marbled stock card and the edges of the decoupage block were covered in a red velvet ribbon attached with double sided tape.  The doves were made using a cricut machine and finally peeloffs were used for embellishments (along with a bit of glitter).  

This card was made by Rosie Silverson.  (for instructions on how to make click here).  Rosie printed Green Pastel Flower Backing Paper onto photographic quality paper and used the technique outlined on this site.  Finally she added a reindeer cut with her cricut machine and bows and peeloffs.
