Here's the last project I was able to do during my August "Craft-Cation". Above is the Iris Folding Card that my Mom taught us. What makes this card super fast and easy to make is that I took the square cutout base and created a SVG file that has four of them fitted to a 8.5" x 11" piece of cardstock. By using my electronic cutter, I can have four card bases cut and ready to go in just a few moments. Iris folding cards are a great way to use up your paper scraps too. If you're interested in how to create them, do a Google search for instructions. This square design is super easy.

Supplies:

Cardstock Card Base (cut with SCAL and Cricut)
Purple Cardstock
Stamped Sentiment: Theresa Collins Fabrications "Linen"
Yellow Ribbon
Scotch Tape
