Last Thursday the Keepers girls came down to our house to learn "Iris Folding". Iris Folding is a very unique way to use paper scraps and create a card. When we were in Arizona in March Sis. Strite showed Mommy some cards she had made with Sis. Holly using Iris Folding. Mommy was really impressed and so she decided to teach it to us girls.
IRIS FOLDING-from Wikipedia
Iris folding is a paper craft technique that involves folding strips of colored paper in such a way to form a design. The center of the design forms an iris — a shape reminiscent of the iris diaphragm of a camera lens.
HISTORY-Iris Folding originated in Holland, where early craft persons made their designs using patterned paper cut from the inside of envelopes. Today, crafters use any light weight paper, such as scrapbook paper, origami paper, wrapping paper, the inside of envelopes or pages of magazines. Ribbon is also used.
Even some of the mom's created cards! =)
So many decisions! ;)
If you're interested in creating some of your own Iris Folding cards, here are a few websites to check for ideas...
