Christmas Iris Fold

Today's card is the Christmas version of the iris folding pattern I've been using lately.  My mom shared this pattern with me this past summer and it's amazingly versatile.  Just change the colors and patterns and the whole look changes for the season.

Just a Few Details:

• The pattern my mom taught me is from a book that she purchased, so I cannot post that here, however, there are TONS of free patterns out in internet-land.  
• This a marvelous way to use up your smaller scraps if you're a paper hoarder like the Squirrel here.  I was able to incorporate four different patterns of Christmas-themed scraps.
• The "joy" stamp just fits in the center of the iris.
• To finish things off, I used an edger punch along the bottom for a little lacy detail, added some red organza ribbon and a fabric-covered button.
