Simple Craft Tape Birthday Card

I made this card for my niece’s birthday last week.

The hand cut card blank measures 5.5ins x 5.5ins and is made using a white linen effect card (Papermill Direct)

I cut a smaller square of card for the centre and then laid strips of adhesive paper craft tape across it.

And then to give the card a little extra birthday bling I added a few silver stars.  I reckon the card took me about 20 minutes to make, but that included the “thinking” and working out time, repeats of the design wouldn’t take half as long.
The tape from B & M bargains only cost £1.99 for 13 x 3m rolls which really was a bargain.
