This Is a Great Addition to my Dies

This is a great die set and will be used often. I could not get it made correctly using the Lawn Fawn video on it. I was about to give up. Then I used Jennifer McGuire's video:

This video is much more clear and lets you know that you do NOT need to buy glue dots. It seemed different than Lawn Fawn's video. I am soooo glad that I found her video. It is perfect for learning how to put this together. It really is simple.

I will make make sure the rings and sausage are made of sturdy cardstock (you can see which one is called the sausage when looking at the dies) . I also used sturdy cardstock for the tab you use to open and close the iris. Jennifer McQuire said the brand cardstock she used, I can't remember which one, but it is a sturdy one. It just makes it more stable to work with before it is attached to the card front.

The die set is one that you will find many uses for. In the one I made that worked, that I followed Jennifer McGuire's video for, I used pattern paper for the iris (sausage pieces). It is really neat.

Is it worth it, yes! Will I use this over and over? Yes! I do not find many dies that I will use over and over. This is one that I will. Even a child can operate the pull tab on this card to open the iris, providing you made it sturdy and have it attached to a good cardstock base.

Use Jennifer McGuire's video, and use good sturdy cardstock for the rings, sausage and pull tab. The 3 stabilizer pieces need to bend or fold over with a curve and not crack, so a flexible cardstock. You will see why in the video. You can use a strong double sided tape instead of the 3/16" glue dots, as Jennifer said in the video. I used my Scrapbook 1/4" roll of double sided tape. Worked just fine. Hope these tips are helpful.

Additional information from Lawn Fawn. Lawn Fawn said that many time the reason the iris won't open is because the sausage pieces were put in backwards. Make sure the top side is up so the go around the circle in the correct direction.

If a Lawn Fawn rep reads this, this is information that you should include in the video, with a demonstration of the backwards way and the correct way.

Reviews for "Captivating Fairy Gardens: Creating Enchanting Scenes with Lawn Fawn's Magic Iris Stamps"

1. Jane Smith - 2 stars

I was really excited to try out the Magic Iris lawn fawn, but unfortunately, it didn't live up to my expectations. The mechanism for opening and closing the iris was quite flimsy and didn't work smoothly. It kept getting stuck or wouldn't close properly, which was really frustrating. Additionally, the size of the iris was quite small, making it difficult to fit in all the elements I wanted to include in my card. Overall, I was disappointed with the quality and functionality of the Magic Iris lawn fawn.

2. Mike Johnson - 3 stars

I have mixed feelings about the Magic Iris lawn fawn. While I appreciate the concept and the ability to create interactive cards, I found the instructions quite confusing to follow. The assembly process was not straightforward, and I had to spend a lot of time watching tutorials and reading online forums to understand how to use it properly. The end result was okay, but the learning curve and lack of clear instructions dampened my enthusiasm for this product.

3. Emily Thompson - 2.5 stars

I don't understand the hype around the Magic Iris lawn fawn. I found it quite challenging to align and cut out the iris shape accurately. The templates provided were not very helpful, and I ended up wasting a lot of paper trying to get it right. Additionally, the iris mechanism seemed quite fragile, and I was worried it would break easily with frequent use. Overall, I didn't find the Magic Iris lawn fawn user-friendly or durable enough for my crafting needs.
