Love paper? Love greeting cards? Cut, fold and layer colorful and clever cards that will become a fascination! Learn how to create gorgeous, fun and funky cards for all occasions using recycled paper products.
Iris Folding Cards originated in Holland. The technique involves placing color coordinated strips of folded paper over a pattern. The spiraling design resembles the iris of an eye or camera. It is fun, easy and makes a fabulous card!
Cards are made from granola bar wrappers, magazine pages, paint samples, paper ream wrappers, potato chip bags, tissue boxes, water bottle labels and even wallpaper samples.
Choose 3 cards from the list below.
Your choices need to be made 3 days before the class is planned to start. Please call the HoPo with your 3 choices. If we do not receive choices from you 3 days prior, the instructor will have a selection for you to choose from.

I’m a beginner in iris folding and am already searching the web every morning for new pattern ideas. Looking at your Christmas ornament above, I would never have thought to use metallic Christmas paper for the cards! What a wonderful and original idea, thank you so much for the inspiration!
Thanks for the compliment Katie! Actually the Christmas cards made above were made from used gifts bags. I get them from the Dollar Store or yard sales. You can also use wallpaper samples, wrapping paper, any paper material.
Come to one of my classes and I will share more tips with you PLUS we can make really great cards!
