Magic Iris Anniversary Card


As I've mentioned in other posts this month, I am going to start running several different series, and today's card is the first in the Series: Magic IrisIf you would like more information on those plans, you can find them  ****HERE****.  

For this card I chose to make a 5 x 7" Anniversary card using older papers and stamps from my stash. Below you can see what happens when you start to slide the lever downwards ... the 'shutters' open to reveal the sentiment! 

It took me a long time to finally purchase the Magic Iris (by Lawn Fawn) and I haven't used it nearly enough. Thus the series ... by the end of the year I hope to have shared twelve different cards using this die set!


Inside, I popped up the element with one of Sam Calcott's cardstock springs. I stumbled on them back in November, and have been using them a lot since. I will link her card video below, and you can scroll through to see how she makes these springs.

I have been asked how many cards I make but I didn't have a clear number. Since many of my posts include more than a single card or project, I thought it would be fun to keep track this year.
