Iris Folding

Good morning. If you remember, I took a class on Iris folding some weeks ago. Today I've got 2 cards to share - of the 4 we made in class.

 

 This was the most complex of the designs we did & was the 4th card. I liked this one, but I don't like that the cardstock used as folding papers seems to make the front bow out as you can see here. I had some heavy books stacked on this one for quite a while, and it's still bowing. This will be a prototype. I learned a 'how to fix'  by getting some folds going wrong, and having to pull them up for a re-do. This caused white edges in some of the folded places where the tape had stuck. I took various copic markers to cover the white bits, just testing different shades of YG's until I got the places covered (well, pretty much anyway!). Something to keep in mind. These were the supplies we had available in the class, and I think basically, these were just 'snippets'. However, a good use of them I must say.

   

The wolf card is the one that got me enrolled in the Iris fold class. DH saw it when we were at Scrapbook Creation in Spartanburg, SC. It caught his fancy, and of course he said "You should learn to do that". Well, I did. The wolf is an image downloaded from the Silhouette store. Again, I had a bit of trouble with getting the folds going in the order they should be done. There were a couple of patchy places. The fix: Dab on some liquid glue, sprinkle on some sparkle glitter. Doesn't show here, but is very sparkly IRL. I have 2 more cards that I'll share later.

Hope you enjoy these, and perhaps give the Iris Fold technique a try. When I do more of it, I will be trying to use design paper rather than card stock. I think it would be easier to have as a flat front.

Thanks for visiting. Have a wonderful afternoon. Hugs
