Cut and fold card blank.

Cut a piece of scrap white paper to proper size for greeting. Stamp and, if desired, emboss greeting.

You can alternatively print a greeting using your computer and cut to size.

Gather a bunch of small strips of scrap paper. Cut into roughly the size you want them to be, angling the top and bottom cuts on a slight diagonal. You can do this quickly with scissors. There's no need to measure. You don't want the strips too uniform.

Spread glue on the back side of the greeting piece. Glue strips onto the this piece so that they extend from the top and bottom. Apply more glue and attach the entire piece -- greeting and strips to card.
