I wanted to make some really impressive thank you cards this week, so I did a bit of research and chose iris cards. I folded a basic 4x5 card from white card stock. For the Kimono, I cut out a robe shape from the front of the card. I then folded strips of origami papers in various tiny prints, and taped them on from the back of the cutout shape. I even threaded a thin ribbon through as a belt! For the fan, I just cut several rectangles of patterned paper and used double edged tape to secure them for a background. I then cut a rectangle of white card stock out, and cut a fan shape out of it. I cut strips of patterned paper, folded them, and taped them on behind the cutout (there are much better instructions on how to do iris folding online). I drew a few lines, added a stick on jewel, and had a fan! This was so much fun, and I literally had paper scattered throughout the house, as the 2 cats had to help me with the process. The cards came out so pretty, I might even frame them!
