Design Team Member Kate here, ready to share another fun cardstock strip idea for you to try out! Have you ever had a "duh" moment? I've seen several versions of this handmade card idea on Instagram and Pinterest, but could never understand how it was made. In my defense, all the samples I saw only had one card in the photo. Not until I saw a photo with two cards, did I finally get it!
Handmade Card Tutorial Using Scrap Cardstock
First I chose my color palette and cut the cardstock into strips.
Then I covered a scrap piece of printer paper (measuring 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 inches) with adhesive and attached my strips horizontally. Make sure the strips are pressed tightly together. Then trim off the pieces overlapping the base piece so it is nice and clean.
Next I cut the panel in half at 2 1/8 inches.
Using a circle die (any symmetrical die will work--think heart, square, hexagon), I cut out three shapes from the center, using the strips as a guide to make sure all three cuts were evenly spaced.
After cutting the panel, I separated the two sides and switched the diecuts as shown in the photo.
Now all that's left is to add a sentiment.
Here's another example using a Hexagon shape.
Try out your favorite shape and color palette and you will have a unique and fun handmade card that looks professional. As you can see, the possibilities are endless. Plus, this card tutorial uses up scraps which is a real bonus. Try this unique handmade card paper craft today!

I can’t wait to try to make this card. I love it
you had my brain reeling trying to figure it out, and when i just read your instructions, i thought to myself HOW BRILLIANT you are (you not me, lol). Thank you so much for this going to try it with hearts for Get Well Cards, after i prep my veggies for tomorrow’s Thanksgiving dinner…cheers, take care, be safe and KEEP CRAFTING, so i can continue to support my ‘legal addiciton’ to paper…lol
Such a great idea and stunning result. I can’t wait to make this.
I really like How bold and beautiful the color palette you chose is and the fresh ideas for using scraps. Thank you. Pam
