Bunnies and more bunnies

Bunnies aren't just for Easter. They look great in any color! Coming or going they are cute. Goggle eyes and a noes or a cotton tail, the choice is yours. We did one a few months ago at Stamp Salado with pink and brown ribbons. Great chocolate bunny imitation.

It's Never to Early to Start on Christmas Cards

Joyce A. Meyer of Jam'n Stamps has done it again! I just love the new stamps for Texana Designs. Since iris folding has become my latest obsession I thought I would try something a little different. What do you think?

Cupcakes Galore

I've been playing and designing again. How about an iris folded cupcake with fluffy icing with sprinkles on top? Join us in Salado on June 11th for some great fun. There will be roses and cherries.

Cats and Dogs are Folding Fun

One of my favorite websites for iris folding is Circle of Crafters. They have some great free iris fold patterns. I used cuttlebug folders to give the mats a bit of texture without taking away from the design.

May 2011 Class @ Scrapology

Here are the last three cards I taught at Scrapology earlier this month. We had fun creating dragonflies, oven mitts and coffee pot. I even did the oven mitt out of fabric. I cut the strips 1" x 6" and ironed back about 1/4" on just one side. It was a little more tricky to tape down, but worth the time and effort.

Next we will be getting a jump start on Christmas in July.

Iris Folding Cards at Scrapology, March 12, 2011

February 12th, 2:00 - 4:00

We will be making three new card designs using a technique called iris folding. We will create a party hat with ribbon, a butterfly using a Quickut's die and a four leaf clover. We will be using stamps by Texana Designs and Deadbeat Designs. Be sure to bring your scissors and a full roll of scotch tape (we'll use lots). Also bring a strong double sided tape like RedLine, Scor-Tape or Pioneer Mounting Tape and a bone folder is helpful but not necessary. We hope to be able to repeat the iris folding class each month featuring new designs and ideas each time. Janet will be offering a frequent class bonus for anyone taking three classes you'll relieve a free iris fold kit.

Call Scrapology today to sign up.

Iris Folded Rooster

What a fun little card!!! I took a die cut from the Cricut Animal Kingdom cartridge and designed my own iris folding pattern. I think it's too cute. I might have to do the hen next.

Enjoy!

I will be back at Scrapology in Lakeway on January 15th at 2:00 with more iris folding cards. We will make three cards using a technique called iris folding (like the iris of a camera or eye). We will create a heart with ribbon, a camera with Accucut die cut and a musical note. We will be using stamps by Texana Designs. Be sure to bring your scissors and a full roll of scotch tape (we'll use lots). Also bring a strong double sided tape like RedLine, Scor-Tape or Pioneer Mounting Tape and a bone folder is helpful but not necessary. We hope to be able to repeat the iris folding class each month featuring new designs and ideas each time. Janet will be offering a frequent class bonus for anyone taking three classes you'll receive a free iris fold kit.

Iris Folding Class on Sept 11th at Scrapology

2:00 - 4:30

More holiday cards created with paper folding. This time we will make three cards using a technique called iris folding (like the iris of a camera or eye). We will make a bat for halloween, a pumpkin for fall and a tree for Christmas. We will be using Graphic 45 and Creative Imaginations papers and stamps from Texana Designs or Deadbeat Designs. Be sure to bring a full roll of scotch tape. We'll use lots. Most should complete the class within 2 hours, but we've allowed 2 1/2 hours if needed.

Iris Folded Easter Egg

This is an iris folded card that I designed for a class in Temple at Wendaful Scrapbooks. I used a pack of Doodlebug papers that coordinated beautifully. The egg and the grass were Accu-Cut diecuts available at Wendaful's. I hope everyone finds all the Easter Eggs the bunnies left for ya.

Iris Folded Cards

Oh man, I forgot how fun and easy iris folding is. I used my Cricut to cut out a Christmas ornament and then used a generic iris fold pattern from Circle of Crafters website (get pattern here). I used my corner adorner punch for snazzy matting. And one large bling for some sparkle. I love the way they turned out. I may have to make a few more. I made up about 6 kits for the local craft show this weekend. We'll see if anyone else likes them as much as I do.
