Iris-Fold Pincushion Card

Celebrate the sewist, quilter, or maker in your life with this charming Iris Fold Pincushion Card SVG. Inspired by the classic tomato pincushion found in sewing baskets everywhere, this dimensional card uses layered folded paper pieces that create the beautiful appearance of traditional iris folding without the complexity.

The design is surprisingly simple to assemble. Each folded layer is easy to align and naturally fits into place behind the cut-out opening, creating a stunning spiral effect that looks intricate while remaining beginner-friendly. The result is a handmade card with plenty of texture, dimension, and vintage crafting charm.

Perfect for birthdays, thank you cards, sewing friends, quilting guild gifts, craft retreat surprises, Mother's Day, or simply letting a creative friend know you're thinking of them.

Supplies

For best results, I recommend 80# textured solid-core cardstock for a sturdy, professional finish. The patterned paper shown in this example is from the Material Girl collection by Cosmo Cricket (discontinued).

Scotch Quick-Dry Tacky Glue provides a strong hold, while Color Petal ink pads add depth and dimension to edges and any textures. I used regular pins in the card. Contains affiliate links.
