Smile Circle Card

Die-cut four scalloped frames from kraft cardstock. Remove one inner circle from one frame then secure the other three circles to the inside of the frames using tape.

Adhere two frames with circles together to create the base of the photo frame. Score and fold in half.

Die-cut one inner circle from white cardstock using the stitched scallop die. Place a slightly smaller circle nesting die in the centre and cut out a circle. Attach the white aperture within the scalloped frame.

Secure the frame on top of the iris folding template upside down. Follow the step-by-step guide below to create half of the iris folding. Leave a square aperture in the centre.

Place a picture behind the iris folding. Trim any excess paper strips around the edges, leaving a narrow line around the frame. Affix narrow strips of 3D foam pads around and mount the aperture onto a scalloped frame with the inner circle.

Attach to the base of the photo frame. Add a die-cut stitched flower with leaves and a stamped sentiment below the picture to finish.

Create an iris-folded design by cutting several 1.8cm wide strips of patterned paper. Place the aperture facing down onto the template. Secure using clear tape on one side, then affix the paper strips in numerical order using tape.

Trim the excess around the edges, then turn around and check if any clear tape shows in between the paper strips.
