About this Activity

This video shows you step-by-step how to produce a layered greeting card using color-coordinated pieces of paper.

Hint: If you (or the person you are with) want to add a written greeting on the finished card, sometimes it is better to write it on a separate piece of paper. Cut it out and glue the text into the card. This way, there is no chance of a wrong spelling or other mistake spoiling the card.
