Here's my current favourite card that I have made using Iris Folding - it wasn't as fiddly as it looks and I really enjoyed making it. I plan to make at least one more using this Three Kings pattern as I have bought some navy glitter card with stars on - ideal for a night sky background for this card.Tea bag folding is going OK. I'm finding it more fiddly than Iris Folding but its fun. There are loads and loads of different folds available and the tiles that some of the people on the CoC forum are able to create are just stunning! I've got a folder of different folds and I've saved lots of different tiles onto my harddrive - goodness knows when I'll get round to using / trying them all, and the colour cartridge on the printer is certainly getting a good run at the moment!
This card is a Christening card and I made it using a tile created by a fellow crafter that is based on a picture of candy, and the pattern is from the CoC website. This was a nice card to create and very simple. The corner flashes just add a bit of additional interest or it would be a bit boring.
This card is a medallion made for the October Challenge on CoC TBF forum - this month we had to use this specific fold which looked quite easy but actually it took a lot of fiddling to get this to sit right. This medallion isn't perfect but I've given it a good go and made it up as a Christmas card by mounting it on a silver card blank that has stars embossed into it.
This is a christmas card made using a split tile (tile thats has two different patterns on it, one on one side of the diagional, and another on the other side. It was an easy fold but I didn't put it together quite right - it still looks OK though.
Finally for today, here is my October Challenge card for the Iris Folding section on CoC - this month we all had to use this Christmas Pudding pattern but everyone has made it their own by mounting it in their own way and using their own choice of papers. This is my interpretation - the custard on top is pale yellow glitter card which I spotted in a craft shop - perfect for this job! Needless to say I don't put custard on Christmas pudding normally, and this won't be the only Christmas pudding I make this year as I plan to make one as part of our Christmas dinner!
