Magic Iris Card for Easter

It's Fun Fold Friday here on my blog and today I'm sharing the third edition to my series "Magic Iris". By the end of the year I should have made & shared twelve different cards using this die set!  This 5 x 7" card has an extra layer on top ... the Fall Leaves Add On! Cutting it from green lightly patterned paper and adding green inking, it looks like a Spring wreath rather than Fall. I love getting more use from my dies! I have all the details in my YouTube video:  

When you open the shutter, the sentiment is revealed. 😊.  Below you can see it partially open ...

... and finally, fully open.

I didn't want to add any extra weight to the card by layering two additional panels inside, so instead I cut a scalloped yellow frame by nesting two dies together. I saved the fallaway yellow piece for another card, then used the same smaller rectangle die to cut white card stock. I stamped that with a sentiment by Verses (retired) and nestled that into the frame.

Having been asked how many cards I make I thought it would be fun to keep track this year. Many of my posts include more than a single card or project and below is my tally.
