Sunday night I decided to check out YouTube for some ideas. I hadn't really watched many videos in the last few days other than Rita Holmes. I found several that gave me some ideas. Susan Campfield had received a card from someone and decided to replicate it. THIS is the video showing how she did it. On Monday morning I decided to give it a try. Since I was so sure I knew what I was doing, the measurements I used for the strips are 1/4" shorter than the ones she used, but it still worked fine.
You will note in the video that the card base is only 5" tall. That makes it easy for the strips to come out exactly right using 1" widths.
If you watch the video you will see that she just let the reverse side of the dsp show when the card is open. I decided I'd I rather have the back side the same as the front so I cut extra pieces of those designs and glued them together back to back. In the future, I would probably make those two strips twice as long, fold them in half after adding glue to the inside of the fold.
Since it is May 1st, I thought about the paper I have with the tulips and it worked great! For this card, all of the strips were going to be dsp which didn't give much support to the sections hanging over the edge. I cut the same measurements with the Poppy Parade card stock and adhered all of the dsp pieces to card stock. This gave the card more stability.
The card base was of a light weight white card stock, so I added the back of the card to a 4 1/4" x 5 1/4" piece of Poppy Parade card stock.

Thank you for coming by today!

Very cool cards, Vicki! Thanks for sharing!
Love this card design. I'm going to give it a try for some Father's Day cards.
