IRIS FOLD ORNAMENT CARD

Hi Everyone! I hope you're getting your Christmas cards done :)

I haven't done an iris fold card in a long time, and truth be told there is no folding on this one either. I cut strips of pattern paper and laid them down in an iris fold design. I really like how the papers work together, and so easy to do.

There are iris fold directions all over the web- just ask google :)

The stamp is a beauty from Quietfire Design. There's a super special on right now!

Thanks for looking today and have fun with your card making!

IRIS FOLDING...WITHOUT THE FOLDING!

I'm calling this one, inlaid embossing iris fold-style.

This is a project for hostess club tomorrow night. It follows iris folding design, but is layered and embossed cardstock, not folded. I love the boldness of it due to the matting which is embossed right along with the cardstock strip. Fun huh?  :)

PICK A SENTIMENT --- ANY SENTIMENT

Once the iris folding is done, this card is quite quick to make. Just about any sentiment would work with this design, as would any type of card. I can see a Christmas card being easily adapted, or a Valentine.

If it's too smokey for you outside this weekend, stay inside and try some iris folding.

Have a great weekend, whatever you decide to do!

Iris Fold without the fold...

When is an iris fold not a fold? When it's a strip of course! Looking for a use for scrap strips- here's one. Just lay the strips down as you would if they were folded. Easy peasy!
Other scraps look great as matching circles. Fairly quick- lots of fun.
