As promised, here is a how make a simple Easter card.
You will need:

3. Glue
4. Needle and brown cotton thread
5. Colored pencils.
6. Pencil and ruler.

Step 3.
Paste the brown cut-out on the front of the folded white card.

With the remaining white paper, take your colored pencils and randomly color it on one side (if you're using embossed paper, the more textured side would be great to color). Combine as many colors as you want.
Step 5.
Now fold the colored paper as you did the brown one in Step 2., cut it along the fold lines. This time cut more from it making sure it's smaller than the brown one.
With your ruler and pencil, mark out a cross as shown below on your now cut out colored paper. Thread your needle and as shown, make holes on the paper. Sew as shown below:
