I was experimenting with fun fold cards and this is one design that I really like. I’m not sure what it is called but the inside opens kind of like an iris fold to reveal a message.
I made two of these - one using a current paper pack called Celebrate Today and the other using a retried paper pack called Chelsea Gardens.
The band holds the edges of the card together until it is opened. Once the card is opened, there are two photos provided for each card that show just the center of the opening so you can see that the sentiment is still hidden. As the card is completely opened, the sentiment is revealed.
I decorated both the bands and the insides of the cards with coordinating flowers and leaves. Anything that is added inside must remain clear of the moveable parts, so it can’t be too large.

Well these are both AMAZING! Wow, Alyson! You are right on trend with your magic iris cards! I was wondering how to make a magic iris card without buying the new LF die and here you are ahead of the game! These are so impressive!
