Homeade Cards 2/3

Today I have a tutorial for you about how to make cards with pressed flowers. These cards are so easy to make, and they look super cute!

Now before you actually start constructing your cards you are going to need pre-cut cards and some pressed flowers. Here is a video on pressing flowers: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmOoELQLMmo




1. Choose your flowers, leaves, grass, etc., and lay them out on your card in the position you want them.
2. Dab some glue on the back of the flowers and press onto the card.

Here's what we have after step 2 is finished.

3. Paint a thin layer of glue over the entire design.
You'll have something like this now. Don't worry; it will dry clear.

5. (This step is not really needed, but I think it helps the card to dry straight.) While still wet, place a piece of wax paper over the card and press inside a book.

As soon as the card is dry you can go ahead and use it! 


Thanks for stopping by! Have a wonderful week, and enjoy the cooler weather!

Bible Verse: And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God's love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow--not even the powers of hell can separate us from God's love. Romans 8:38 (NLT)
