Christmas Sleigh Iris Folding Pattern
Be organised for Christmas, make your Christmas cards now and have one less thing to do...
Cut strips of coloured paper – 1½ - 2 cm wide (use a metal ruler & blade or guillotine).
Strips need to be wide enough to cover your pattern. Fold over approximately 2mm of the strips of paper length wise - run the edge of a ruler along the fold - to give a nice edge to work with. Place the pattern on your work bench, face up – secure it with some magic tape (so you can remove easily for use again). Place the card cut-out face down on top of the pattern – secure with some magic tape so it doesn’t move.
You should be able to see the complete pattern through the card opening. Using the colours suggested place the folded strips of paper against the line in order of each numbered section. Using magic tape, secure the left- and right-hand sides of the strips, making sure you don’t have tape showing from the front. When all coloured strips have been attached, cut out a piece of holographic paper a little larger than the ‘H’ section.
Adhere this with tape on all sides. Remove the card from the pattern, turn over and admire your handy work. Attach the Iris Folding card to a ready made blank greeting card or cut out a piece of nice card and create a greeting card for that special person… Happy Iris Folding… Deb ♥

I cut the design in white card and used the three colour pattern. I used gold, red and green metallic ribbon for the design. Once complete I drew and coloured a sack of presents on to card to fit the sleigh and adhered this with glue.
I have added a red gem to each corner and also three white snowflakes on the background. I mounted the design panel onto green mirror board using foam pads, positioning it towards the top to allow for 'Merry Christmas' ribbon to be wrapped around bottom of completed panel.
This has then been layered onto a 21x15cm white scalloped card blank.
