Hello crafters!
Welcome to the Joy's Life 3D Animals and Card Folds Blog Hop! You should have just come over from the fabulous Maria's blog, the Joyful Stamper.
If you just stopped by and would like to join in on this fun hop, you can leap right on over to Joy's Life.com to start from the beginning. You will find some great projects and some yummy blog candy along the way. :)
I have always found the iris folding technique to be very interesting, not to mention beautiful. I can not believe some of the projects I have seen using this technique, some are quite extraordinary. You should check out Pinterest and see what I mean! :)
Anyway, fortunately for me, I found an SVG file at SVG Cuts.com that made this technique a little quicker. I really liked doing my first iris fold this way, because it was pretty much fool proof, yet I still got the feel for how it is done traditionally. There are some really awesome patterns out there, so I think I might make more of these type of cards. :) Well, enough blabbering... here is my card:

Here is what the folds look like up close:
Kind of cool, eh?
And of course, I found the perfect sentiment to go with my card:
You can find this stamp in the Joy's Life WildLife Puns stamp set. It has some super fun stamps, so check it out right here.
Now onto the blog candy:
