So what is Iris Folding?

Iris folding is a bit like painting by numbers but using folded paper strips instead of paint!

"It's so easy - I learnt to do it when I was seven years old!"

Sharing the joy of pretty papers

There's a kind of playful mindfulness that happens when you pay attention to how colors and patterns stir your emotions. As you spend time on paper cutting and folding to make beautiful greeting cards and gifts, you experience an inner joy. And you can pass on that joy to others by giving away what you have lovingly made!

Meet the maker

Hey fellow crafter, I'm Bethan and I'm passionate about being creative and having a positive impact on others through craft. I aim to do this by teaching the art of iris folding and I hope the resources and ideas on this site inspire you to explore iris folding and enjoy creating with pretty papers.


Crafting love, B 🌸

Christmas at Home Bumper Card Making Project Kit | Traditional Edition | Iris Folding Beginner to Intermediate | Cracker Stocking Car Tree
As always, excellent

I've had stuff from 'Pretty In Paper' before but a good few years ago now!
Infact, it's because of Bethan that I found a love for iris folding & making card's.
Anyway, having subscribed to her newsletters, & following her on Instagram, when this set popped up I had to get it.
& I wasn't disappointed.
The quality of the card's, the inserts & all the papers & embellishments, what can I say but wow. Since that first set I bought from you, it was a pk of 3 Christmas trees which I used as for menus for Christmas dinner & I think they're still on your website, you've really excelled yourself.
I can't wait to do these cards & to see what family & friends think of them.
Thank you & I look forward to ordering lots of other stuff from you.

Christmas at Home Bumper Card Making Kit | Frosty Morning Edition | Iris Folding Beginner to Intermediate | Cracker Stocking Car Tree

Very happy with this kit. Love the addition of the pre printing on the cards, lovely colours and nice variety of Christmas themed cards. My only criticism is that I find the sentiments very difficult to cut out.
