Christmas Blub
Original painting made for iris folding. Paper strips painted to match. But any paper or card-stock can be used. Instructions for iris folding and using the Cricut on the instruction page. (See to the left).
If you have never made an iris fold card, here are instructions on you tube. I will have a page of written instructions soon. Right now they are on my other blog.

Finished card. Card made of Silver patterned card stock. I also used the same silver for the iris center.
300 dpi, Png files just copy and save. (left click on an image to bring it up, right click to save as)Other things used on this card at the bottom of the post.
Card Panel
Greeting
Iris strips to print on to your card stock.
Notice there is an extra strip. I make the snowmen as an extra, you can replace any of the others with it if you wish. I try to make a combination of multi design and more solid looking, as that combination makes the iris show up best.
These are sized for unfolded card stock, if you wish to use paper and fold your edges, then just double the size of the complete panel.
Cheat Sheet, to make sure your pieces are always in the right place. If you decide to use your own paper, just cut a piece of the paper and tape it over the others.
And below, the iris pattern. It is already mirrored and ready to go. Do not trim, slice or delete the extra white in the panel, that will be used to anchor the pieces.
Supplies listed are what I used, you can substitute some of them.
Supplies: Bright white card stock. (for printing designs)
Patterned Cardstock for card (or store bought 5x7
card.)
Solid or different print card stock for Card mats.
*Stickles bottled glitter in holographic clear and silver.
Pop dots 1/8" thick (if you are folding paper, you will need thicker dots, 7/16".
