Keep at it Chris, if you try all different types of card making you might find one style that suits you and you like making. I think my decoupage cards are fab but some of the other types of cards I make I think are pretty awful.:kisshands:

Bet you'd like Iris folding Chris.

Traditionally you use the inside of envelopes, the blue patterns in some you get, but you can use any thin paper, any of the backing papers you've brought should be fine, just nothing to thick.

I was thinking about trying the iris folding. Is it anything like origami?

[Bunny]

I wouldn't know where to start with iris folding, looks too fiddly to me

[Katiequiggle]

Its really not hard Bunny but I must admit it is much easier to have someone show you than to see how to do it from instructions. How about Spirelli, I don't like it personally but I know some do.

I've still got some iris folding templates too if anyone wants them...:yes:

[storm35]
