Paper weaving..

Many of you asked how to create the beautiful paper weaving effect on this handmade card, so here are the step by step instructions! Happy crafting!

Begin with a pink 5x7 folded card from the Perfect Palette Cards & Layers Kit
1. Trim a 4 1/2” x 6 1/2” panel of Perfect Palette pink cardstock.
2. Trim several 3/4” strips of green, pink, blue, and yellow Perfect Palette card stocks. Notch one end of each of the green and yellow strips into “v”.
3. Begin the woven pattern by lightly adhering a green strip of cardstock in the upper left corner of the pink panel, extending at an angle to about the mid-point of the pink cardstock panel.
4. Continue lightly adhering strips parallel to the first strip, alternating between green and yellow until entire upper left side of panel is covered. Allow strips to over hang edge of pink panel, they will be trimmed when the weaving is finished.
5. Now begin weaving the pink and blue strips, starting in the upper left corner and working down towards ends of green/yellow strips as shown.
6. Trim away excess length of strips around edges of pink panel, adding extra adhesive to strips as needed to hold in place before trimming.
7. Trim a 3/4” x 4 1/2” strip of floral paper and adhere to bottom edge of pink panel.
8. Affix floral stickers and sentiment sticker. Adhere finished panel to a 5x7” Perfect Palette pink card base with foam tape.
