Mother's Day Tea Folder

Mother's Day Tea Folder

Thanks to Darby for the video on this fabulous Tea folder!

Score an 8 1/2″ piece of card stock long side up at: 3″, 3 1/4″, 3 1/2″, 3 3/4″ and continue at 6 3/4″, 7″, 7 1/4″ and 7 1/2″.  Score two 4″ by 4 1/2″ pieces of patterned paper at 1/2″ on all four sides for both.  Fold and burnish all score lines.  If you wish, use a corner rounder or decorative punch to decorate the two corners of the card stock on the end with the shorter section.  Focusing on that end, cut a piece of ribbon and glue it into a short loop.  Glue that to the front of that short section.  Using the second smallest stitched oval in the same color, fold it in half lengthwise and glue it securely over the flap with the ribbon loop.  Burnish well to adhere.
