Iris Folding

Download or read book Classic Cards written by Marrian Piers and published by Sterling Publishing Company. This book was released on 2007 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These are 60 of the most beautiful cards a crafter will ever see, with unique techniques that no other card-making guide uses. Every project showcases excellent craftsmanship, and features great color how-to photographs, diagrams, and patterns. Choose from the classic Dutch and other European styles of folding and stitching to create something special for any occasion. Embroider a geometric star in metallic threads, and then add seed beads for an elegant, crisp design. Layer bright squares, construct a Chinese Pagoda design out of many small bits and scraps, use bold, thick threads to make a wonderfully realistic three-dimensional butterfly, or quilt a small heart-shaped card for Valentine’s Day. Each card is so exquisite that it’s a gift in itself.
