The projects in Iris Folding for Christmas follow both traditional and non-traditional iris-folding techniques. Traditional iris folding follows patterns that, once completed, resemble the lens of an antique camera. Non-traditional methods and patterns create a product that, when completed, have a geometric or quilt-like effect.

Card patterns in the book vary, with simple and quick cards and more advanced designs. The book offers inspiration for creating greeting cards, artist trading cards, ornaments, gift bags and boxes and gift-card holders. Each project includes a color photo of the completed card, along with easy-to-follow instructions and drawings.

For an added challenge, there are projects that incorporate rubberstamping techniques, such as heat and pressure embossing, masking, and a variety of ink applications. For beginners, there is an introduction to iris folding, with step-by-step instructions for creating windows and adding folded strips to create the classic iris-fold look.
