I love art and craft and I love making cards for my friends. be it birthday or Christmas or some special occasion. With the technology, people nowadays really do not send out cards to friends and family. Unlike what we did when we were young, when there is a special occasion, I always look forward to buying cards from shops - to pen down my wishes for the recipient. But come the technology, friends are wishing each other through Facebook, Whatsapps. And we longer need to remember such special dates as there are always the technology to notify us of the dates.
Years back, I stumbled across Iris Folding while looking for ideas on card making. And I love doing Iris folding from then on. I love colourful things. I can add many colours to iris folding and the visual effect of the end products is great. Iris folding is actually very simple and once you get a hang out of it, you'll definitely love it. You can apply iris folding for any occasion or any design.

Whenever I ran out of ideas of what to do for a card, I will turn to iris folding. Just cut out any shapes or animals or design that you like and layers the colourful papers, the effect of the card will definitely be glamorous.
Did 3 cards this morning and here are the pictures for the steps:
1. Materials that are required
 |
| Paper, Cutter, glitter, glue, scissors etc |
2. Think of what design you want for the card and draw them out accordingly. Good to be on the reverse side such that your pencil mark will not appear on the front of the card.

3. Cut out the design accordingly

4. Cut the coloured paper into stripes and fold them into half

5. Paste them as you like and this is how the back looks like: UNTIDY

6. There you go, Iris folding cards for the number: 30. Decorate the card with wordings accordingly.

| Cards are nicely done! |
Depending on how complicated your design is, Iris folding does not really take up much of your time. Find it interesting? If so, time to get your hands on it!
