Paper
Glue squares onto strips, about 1/2" from top.

Glue top of strip and square onto front of card.

Trim bottom of strip as shown. Glue in place.

Repeat with remaining strips.

  13. Like I said, it's par for the course. I'm kind of used to it by now. *shrugs*

    Lovely cards! I know just where to come if I need to figure out how to make homemade cards. Actually, I'd like to start doing that. It's just hard to find the time. :-/

  14. Kelli,

    Such cute notecards! I think you need to get your own television show. Your ideas are much better than Martha's, in my opinion! :)

    Thanks for some more creative and cute ideas. I actually made four cards today. Will post pics on my blog. It's such a great way to save money these days, and doesn't take long at all to put them together.
