Hi Everyone, I am struggling to come up with ideas for my craft club and after looking online I saw iris folding, last week my cards were a little too easy, so I looked for easy, taking a little time? It's placing paper onto lines I thought, that could be OK, so I cut all the papers needed and more, then printed out a free pattern I got online. I cut the tree shape out of card, all using my digital die cutting machine, when cutting lots, it's a real boon for me.
I took papers, peel offs and templates to class and had them follow the lines etc. It did take longer, as I wanted, and apart from a few papers laid down on the open paper side, it went well and the results were really good. I was so pleased, thankfully so were they. There were a few papers over, so waste not want not, I made a few more for myself, a few more added to my Christmas cards

A fabulous Christmas card Faith, great iris folding and lovely papers - it sounds like your craft club is going well.

Hi Faith
ReplyDeleteLove your card ….I have done Tea Bag folding …years ago and love it ….
Bring the old Crafts back I say …. We had no Dies then …. How would we make a card now without one…
Pretty papers you have used to ….
Hugs Sylvie xx
This is gorgeous, Faith! I have never tried iris folding technique, it seems difficult for me. But I ADMIRE your beautiful Christmas tree. Kisses, my friend.
ReplyDeleteOh this is so clever Kate, so unique and so very creative x.
ReplyDeleteThis is so clever, so creative, has a real wow factor and I love it Faith x. Please excuse the 'wrong' name on my last comment Faith x.
ReplyDeleteFaith that is gorgeous! Love the gold along with the patterned paper.
ReplyDeleteWow! Very nice looking! Well done on the technique! Those word peel-offs are cool. I only have images. So glad you are figuring out how to teach your club group effectively. I dare say they pay people with degrees big bucks to do what you are doing, that's amazing. I very much admire that. Hope your weather has dried out. Thanks so much for all your concern about my Arthurs, it makes me feel comforted just to read someone cares.
ReplyDeleteA lovely Christmas card, Faith. Glad it was a hit with your card club.
ReplyDeleteThis is INCREDIBLE! Wow Faith!
