For the 'eggs in the grass' homemade easter cards:

Cut card stock to the size you want with a matching front piece in any color you'd like

For the grass: cut a strip between 2 and 3 inches then cut vertically to create the grass but be careful not to cut all the way through. To make it look more authentic trim pieces to be uneven and curl some pieces forward using a pencil

Draw and cut egg shapes from different colored paper to hide in the grass

For the paper flowers homemade easter cards:

First you need to decide the size of flower you want:

Larger flowers require numerous layers of petals in varying sizes. You can also cut 3 or 4 connected petals (like shown) for quicker layers

Fold the petals in half and curve them around a pencil to make them look for authentic. Glue the petals together to form the base of the flower

For the center cut a small strip then cut as if to create fringe. Roll and glue the ends together then glue to the center of the flower. Gently fold back the fringed pieces  to create the texture.

Enjoy!
