Ray of Sunshine Iris Folded Card
Be sure to check my Iris Folding page for more ideas, patterns, and a video tutorial.
The swap card theme for our October Sunday Stamp Club as any occasion “Iris Folding.” Iris Folding is one of my top ten all-time favorite paper techniques, so I knew I had to participate. And I was excited to see what everyone else would come up with as well. (I’ll share the beautiful creations in my blog posting on November 9!)
I found this great pattern on CircleofCrafters.com
(for those of you who may not know, CircleofCrafters.com is a great resource for free iris folding patterns)
This is not a traditional iris folding pattern because there isn’t an “iris.” But, the possibilities are endless, and I knew I had to give it a try.
I printed the pattern, reduced it by 65%, and then copied it again. It was then a perfect size for a traditional 5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″ card. You may have to play with the original pattern to get the size that you would like.
I used scraps of Flower Pot and Park Lane Designer Series Paper. The greeting is from Ray of Sunshine. I think it goes perfectly with this pattern.
