I have seen these Dahlia fold cards around for awhile now but haven’t made one until today. I thought I would teach it at a class, because origami is fun and this card was just a little bit different.
The paper we used is about to retire. It is called Delightfully Eclectic and is currently half price. The stamp set is from the Charming Sentiments stamp set.
To make the Dahlia, you need to punch 8 circles from the patterned paper and one circle from coloured card. I used a 2″ circle punch. You can see the steps on the photo below.
Step 1. Fold circle in half and in half again. For me it was helpful to draw in fold lines with a pencil as it made them easier to see.. Step 2. Fold in bottom edges, so folded piece is sitting neatly between pencil marks. Step 3. Turn circle over. Now fold in side so it is even with the centre fold. Step 4. Repeat on opposite side. Rub out pencil marks.
You now have 8 Petal pieces. You will adhere these to a card circle. Then adhere onto your card.
