Buyer’s Guide
Welcome to Iris Folding for Life’s Special Moments, my second book on iris folding—and my fourth book on papercrafting techniques. The first iris-folding book, comprised solely of Christmasthemed cards, was a joy to bring together, just like the season it reflected. This book was equally exciting to work on, affording me the opportunity to expand my horizons by designing with many themes in mind. These themes cover a variety of occasions and moments in one’s life when a beautiful greeting card would be appreciated and appropriate.
On this creative journey, you will discover both traditional and nontraditional iris-folding designs, and you will have the opportunity to use a variety of materials, such as paper, fabric, ribbon and Mylar, as you create them. You will learn how to mix and match patterns with apertures to get more mileage from your patterns and explore some outside the box
design ideas like turning a teacup-shaped aperture (opening) into a flower and even a party dress!
Many popular card-making products have been combined with the iris-folding technique on these pages. However, if you do not have the exact products listed, don’t worry. Follow the instructions for the basic design and use what you have. It’s always nice to personalize cards by using your favorite colors, images and words, so please don’t be afraid to experiment once you have mastered the technique.
They say it takes a village to raise a child. This is also true when it comes to creating a book! Many talented individuals have played important roles in creating this book. From photography to editing and everything in between, your efforts are truly appreciated. My sincere thanks to the team at Annie’s!
My heartfelt thanks also to the teams at Quietfire Design, Scor-Pal Products and Spellbinders™ Paper Arts, not only for creating wonderful products that are a joy to use, but also for providing product support for this book!
It is my hope that as you celebrate the special moments of your life and the people who have touched your life, you will not only make use of the card projects found in these pages, but you will also be inspired!
Creatively yours,
Introduction to Iris Folding
The iris-folding technique is a paper craft that originated in Holland and takes its name from the signature spiral effect that is created when the paper strips have been adhered. The finished design resembles the iris of an eye or camera.
When this craft first originated, the printed liners inside envelopes, somewhat like our security envelopes today, were cut and folded to create the strips used to create the intricate designs.
Over the years, this beautiful technique has evolved far beyond the insides of envelopes—and beyond paper, for that matter. The projects in this book explore both traditional and nontraditional methods and materials.
