Each set in the Gemini Iris Folding Collection includes one shaped aperture die and a reusable printed template. Follow the numbered sequence on the printed template to layer your paper pieces and take all the difficulty out of Iris Folding!

The Butterfly set includes six dies and one template to create a beautiful butterfly with an Iris Folded design showing through its wings.

With dies to create the butterfly’s body, antennae, flowers and a ‘Hello’ sentiment, there’s everything you need to create a pretty and cheerful card for any occasion!

A video tutorial with a step-by-step guide to using your Iris Folding set is available by following the link printed on the packaging. So, all abilities can try this beautiful craft technique!

All you need is a die-cutting machine, a die and your chosen card or paper stock. Simply create your plate combination using the helpful Sandwich Guide in the instruction manual and run through your die-cutting machine – it’s that simple!

Once you’ve die cut your aperture, place the template on your card front, so the numbers show through the reverse of your cut out design. Follow the template to place folded paper strips in the numbered sequence shown and secure with tape or adhesive. Turn your card around and voila - a stunning dimensional Iris Folded design!
