We're always on the lookout for different papercraft techniques to amp up handmade cards and here is another fun one! Design Team Member Kate is back with a twist on card making with paper strips. This week Kate is making a paper checkerboard. We love to follow the paper craft trends and cards made with paper strips are still trending, so let's dive right into this cardmaking tutorial.
Paper Strips Card Making Tutorial
Kate used a die to cut her cardstock into strips. (This die is 1/4 inch, but any thickness will do). Using a piece of thin computer paper, apply the strips in your desired color pattern. Kate used a sheet of adhesive applied to the computer (scrap) paper for easy gluing.
Once the strips are adhered (and dried if using liquid adhesive), cut the panel into strips against the grain of the strips as wide as the original strips (in this case, 1/4 inch, but you cut your new strips in the width of the original strips).
Stagger the strips to create different patterns. Use different widths to make different designs.
Now use this new panel to decorate your card.
You can also use some of your strips for a fun non staggering design!
Just think of the different color combinations and sizes you could make using this awesome new paper crafting technique. I hope you try it and share your creations!
Supplies:
- So Silk Assorted pack
- Silver Holographic cardstock
- Balloon dies from MFT
- Birthday die from The Stamp Market
- Celebrate die from Taylored Expressions

Thank you! I am using up some of my scraps doing this.
I am just seeing this for making template for card… How awesome.. How do I buy this? I am not a techie so I am wondering if there is a tutorial to show the pattern and how to make the cards?
Thank you in advance….Bobbi West
This is so cool! It looks so difficult but you broke it down and it’s easy after all! Thank you!
Great, my first thought was I can never do that but the instructions are easy. Now I think I can do that and I liked all the various options for cards. Thank You.
