Some Iris Fold Cards



Ive no new cards to show you that I have done recently, but these three cards are what I made when I was keen on doing Iris Folding. The ladies are from a pattern called "Breezy Lady" created by a lady called Sheila from Circle of Crafters. Its a lovely pattern to do, it takes quite a bit of paper to make it and can be quite bulky at the back, but I would say its one of my favourite ones. The train iris fold below is one I was asked to do for a work colleague for her little boy, who was one. I really enjoyed making this one. I made the track by using an excel spreadsheet, colouring it black and then cutting out with a craft knife. Boy that was fiddly! and the smoke is cotton wool. Anyway I will be back over the next couple of days to show you some more of my makes. Thank you for looking.

  7. oh, the Breezy Lady is so cute. Are you open to sharing the pattern? Or can you recommend a website with free patterns? I just want to do Iris Folding as a hobby.
    Thank you.
