I am not at all sure who these cards are for.. but I was in the mood to do some iris folding (love playing with the paper patterns) so the rest came together quite easily.
I used a simple tree pattern in SCAL (Sure Cuts A Lot) and the Silver Bullet Pro and easily created my template for the folding. I have a variety of iris folding patterns printed on transparencies so it is easy to know how to line up the paper strips. The solid card stock is primarily from Paper Temptress; the patterned pieces are from a variety of sources!
These were fun to put together and strips of foam tape on the back make it easy to attach to the card (and all of the messy work is hidden that way!) Not sure the photos capture it, but in the center of each is a bright metallic or holographic paper that is sparkly and pretty. This is where the "iris" folding comes from - the opening in the center is the iris like the center of the eye or a camera lens. And the spiral pattern in traditional folding resembles the layers in the camera lens - just a bit of trivia!
I think I want to do some snowflakes next, all in white, but with different textures of papers. Will see if I can pull that off. If I could ever think of these ideas in time, they would make interestingly different Christmas cards.
Hope you enjoy!
