Do you have lots of paper scraps in your craft room? Yup! Me too! I saw a card similar to this on FB and knew I had to try it.
I gathered scraps that I felt would be good for an Easter card since I knew I was going to use the Xcut Easter Rabbit Small Die Set from Jenlee Schoolcraft as the focal image.
These scraps were cut in 1/8" strips (this is approximate because I eyeballed the widths). I cut so many that I had enough for two cards! The lengths can vary but need to be at least 2.5" long.
You'll also need two cardstock panels. One at 5.25x4" and the other at 4x2.5". On the larger piece, mark 5/8" at the top from all four edges. And 1 3/8" from left and right edge in the middle of the paper. WATCH the process video for a visual.
I used cardstock scraps to die cut all the pieces for the Easter egg and decorations. The pieces were small so I used my Sizzix Sidekick. Once they were put together and embellished, it was time to use those paper strips and complete the card!
On the large panel, add adhesive above and below the middle line and start laying down the strips. The first and last strips need to to be placed at the 5/8" marks. It makes sense when you watch! Use adhesive to attach the strips on the cardstock panel to complete. I used liquid adhesive for this.
Decorate and adhere the smaller panel to the middle of the larger panel.
