Product Description
No special skills are needed to perfect this technique. It is amazing how simple it is to produce dazzling designs by just following a basic pattern. The designs are created by cutting, folding and positioning different coloured papers into swirling, spiralling layers, and mounting them in shaped apertures. Once you have learnt the basics, you can let your imagination run wild and combine techniques for more effects, or produce three-dimensional shaped cards with beautiful iris panels. In this book, Michelle Powell has created six striking projects which aim to get you started straight away.Templates are included and there are many ideas for alternative designs. Once you start folding, you will be so delighted with the results you will want to create a whole range of fantastic cards.

A must have,
By Susan Dieppe "SooLinda" (Kent, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Iris Folded Greeting Cards (Handmade Greeting Cards) (Paperback)
This is a book you must have if you want to try this craft. Its very explicit if you are a beginner, but equally as good for those that are more experienced. It includes wonderful designs & templates.. it is my little bible as far as Iris folding is concerned.

Simple to Elegant Designs great for beginner or anyone interested in Iris Folding!,
By nursingmm - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Iris Folded Greeting Cards (Handmade Greeting Cards) (Paperback)
I purchased this book because I wanted to have something in hand that gave me ideas and examples of iris folded designs. Well this book does that. I'd downloaded the basic design from the internet, but I wanted more examples and designs to help me really get going. Well I've found it with this book. I've been very pleased with this book and it's beautiful card examples. They also give you the template pattern for each design in the book. The variety of designs is just terrific and varied. It goes from a simple square to a hexagon, an egg, little squares, rectangles, elepahants, kimonos, flower pots, sunflowers, butterfly, dragonfly, autumn leaf, balloons, and angel wings. But the most impressive example they gave was the design with photos. The book gets very detailed so that you correctly line up and fold the photos correctly. You will be very pleased if you try the photo iris folding technique. I'd tried iris folding before and now I have really gained quite a bit since buying this book and trying the desgins. But I must say the iris folding with a photo has been the most interesting and fun design for me to try. It does take practice to get used to folding correctly but once you have it down it's just a matter of copying the desgin out of the book and placing your folded papers along the design lines. I would recommend this book to anyone who truly wants to give iris folding a chance or who needs some new ideas. Best of luck, enjoy and keep creating.

Very inspiring iris fold book,
By L. Seurer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Iris Folded Greeting Cards (Handmade Greeting Cards) (Paperback)
I was very inspired by this book. The iris folded photos take iris folding to a whole new level. The cards are very creative and not all of them are basic rectangular shapes: an Indian style elephant card has an iris folded blanket, a Japanese lady with an iris folded parasol, and angels. Their rectangular cards great too and incorporate more than iris folding for embellishments. The only thing that kept me from giving it a 5 was that not all the samples had directions on how to do the cards. I also didn't like that some of the iris fold patterns given weren't numbered which is useful especially for a beginner.

I loved this book! I have recently discovered iris paper folding and was keen to find out a bit more and get some patterns at the same time. This book was perfect for that, and a visual treat as well! Highly recommended.
