We are going to have a go at Iris Folding this month, something I haven't done in ages.
When I first had a go many moons ago I used the inside of envelopes for the papers and amazingly this can be quite effective.
I used simple shapes to start with, like squares and ovals. I even did some dry embossing on the corners of the oval one.
I progressed to more complicated shapes all cut out with a craft knife (in the days before the Cuttlebug).
Simple Christmas trees can be made with triangles too.
Any aperture cards can be used.
I also did some cards from a kit.
I wonder what delights will be created this month.
About Me

- Hi, Welcome to my Blog. I'm an eclectic kind of crafter delving into many pots. I am just about managing to keep up my Scrapbooking Diary (currently a year behind!), plus any cards as required. As my Carpal Tunnel allows I am getting into yarn/fabric crafts with slow stitching and needle felting added to my list. I continue with my love of Watercolour and Bible Journaling plus Faith/Art Journaling with acrylics and inks. I completed my challenge to make an art journal page a day for my 60th year in 2024. My list of crafty exploits includes ATCs, Tags, Altered Books, Mixed Media, Décopatch, Knitting, Crochet, and Embroidery. I live in Surrey, UK with my husband, our son has left home now. For exercise I usually play Badminton and go Ballroom and Latin Dancing. I also like Walking/Geocaching. I have been learning to play the harp for the past 10yrs. I am now officially retired. I am a born again Christian, currently worshiping at my local Evangelical Church.
