Waltzingmouse Stamps is having their monthly waltz today and to celebrate Claire's one year. Projects must have WMS stamps on them. I got into another tea bag folding frenzy and here's my birthday card to WMS.
I took my finger craft knife to the stamped image and cut around the top left to place the tea bag fold mat in behind it. Just for a different look. I used my
WMS stamp sets Celtic Heritage and Irish Blessings for all the stamping. For the tea bag folding I cut out my squares and then stamped on them, then folded kites and diamonds and followed a pattern from a TBF notebook from HOTP. The picture doesn't do it justice. IRL you can see all the layers and it does look pretty cool, in my not so humble opinion! Can you see the WMS initials? Look closer... but there are no teacups here!!!! LOL
Thanks for coming by, enjoy the waltz!!

Wow I've never tried this technique before but it looks absolutely stunning. I enlarged the photo to take a better look and it's just impressive! Thanks for the inspiration!
Very cool star! I too had to see all the detail to really take it all in. Great job and thanks for joining in on the waltz.
Very nice! Wonderful use of the Celtic set - love the WMS initials! I am always wondering what to do with that top area of the shield, now I know!!
I've never tried tea bag folding and I've never thought to place initials in that top portion. You've just inspired me twice, Girl!
Great ideas and thanks for sharing :)
Very pretty!
What a great idea to use the tea bag folding technique. Your card is very pretty.

Really cool, Joanne. I enlarged it to see the tea bag fold. So pretty and intricate.
Joanne this is such a fab thing to do! love the folding , I am a huge fan of all things origami-ish! and yep, I love the WMS crest!!! you're a star! Thank you for waltzing with us!
What a pretty card! I'll have to give this technique a try!
Wonderful card Joanne.
Love your tea bag folding
Gosh that looks COMPLICATED! What a wonderful card your teabagging makes.
Wow--what a nice card--I love the star shape on it. Very unique
No teacups you say! But it's worth the visit. Very nice.
I clicked for a larger image cause I just had to see what you had done. I'm amazed how much work and detail that is to do. It's a lovely card.
Wow, Joanne, what a stunning card! I am amazed at your folding - that is incredible! So glad you could waltz along with us!
Oh wow, this is something new to me. It's stunning - love the way you used the crest and put the Waltzing Mouse initials in there too. Great card x
This is wonderful. I briefly flirted with tea bag folding a few years back, but it ended in bandaids and tears, so I don't go there anymore. All the more reason to admire those who do! The initials were a fun, clever little addition.
You reminded me how pretty that Celtic set is! Your tea-folding is perfect!
Amazing card!
