Handmade Paper Scrap Birthday Cards - Craft Idea

What You Need:

Cardstock Paper Cards {any color or size you like!}
Various Paper Scraps {you will want 4-5 different prints or colors}
Scissors/Paper Trimmer
Tape Runner Adhesive
Sharpie Markers

The Simple Directions:

Using your scissors – first trim down your various paper scrap pieces to give the look of a stacked cake. This is done by cutting thin strips of rectangles out of the scraps and then trimming each one down a bit, as the cake gets taller. {You can also make a stacked pile of presents}
Now grab your adhesive and apply it on the back of each scrap piece.
Place the rectangle paper pieces, in order, on the card front to make your cake design.
Add other embellishments like candles, bows etc. I drew some candles on mine.
If desired – write a “birthday” sentiment somewhere on the card.
Repeat process for each paper scrap birthday card you want to make today!
