Denise Pettingill, from Massachusetts, made this dolphin card. This was her very first iris folding project.

Carol, from Spokane, Washington in the US, resized the dolphin pattern to make this card for a themed group card swap. The theme was windows. She stamped and cut out the porthole before doing the iris folding then attached the porthole to the card using pop dots.

Barbara, from Failsworth, Manchester, UK, used metallic embossed paper for the iris folding then added stick-on tropical fish in similiar colors. The bubble are stick-on 'diamond gems' and The 'Happy Father's Day' is embossed.

Kathy Nycz made this dolphin card for an iris folding swap. She added a couple sea shell embellishments.

Barb, from central New York in the US, used the dolphin template to make this project.

Susan, from North Carolina, USA, made this 'Get Well Soon' card using the dolphin pattern.

Alexandra Dourouze, from France, submitted this dolphin project.

Catherine, from Worcester in the UK, made this card for a card shower we had on our message board. The card is blue pearlised with the lace already cut, it just needed to be pressed out and folded. She used the insides of security envelopes for the folding. The spray is flower centres from peeloffs and she backed the lace with holographic paper.

Sabrina made this dolphin card for her brother-in-law. She textured the foreground paper with a Fiskars texture plate, and used double-sided tape for the glitter along the top.

Suzanne, from England, made this dolphin card.

Hayley, from North Carolina, USA, completed this dolphin project.

Cathy, from New Jersey, USA, completed this dolphin project.

Margaret, from Cornwall England, sent in this dolphin card making idea.

This card making idea was submitted by Carolyn, from Queensland, Australia. Instead of using paper, she used satin ribbon for the iris folding design. For the iris she used corrugated metalic card in blue and silver. To make ripples in the water, she crushed tissue paper then glued it to the card. The small dolphins were made from a punch and blue glitter glue was added. The shells are from wrapping paper. Along the top of the card where it folds, she added another strip of satin ribbon.

Lynn, from the UK, made this dolphin greeting card. She used two different papers, alternating them throughout most of the design instead of following the pattern guide. She cut the shape from the card itself and then lined the back with a piece of cardstock the same color as the card.

Mieke, from the Netherlands, made this dolphin using wrapping paper in one color.
