Quick and Easy Dried Flowers Card

Wednesday, March 20, 2024Tuesday, March 19, 2024

We’re sharing how to make a quick and easy dried flowers card as we team up with some of our favorite ladies for the Lifestyle of Love Blog Hop hosted by the always fabulous Cindy of County Road 407.

If you’re coming over from Cindy’s blog, welcome, we’re happy to have you here. Didn’t you love the vintage pieces she used to dry wildflowers?

I tell her we should go shopping together all the time!

One of the things I love most about these blog hops is that they push me out of my comfort zone to create things I wouldn’t normally think to create.

And this quick and easy dried flower card is no exception.

Don’t get me wrong, store-bought cards are great.

We use them all the time.

But there’s just something about sending a handcrafted card with a personal message that elevates the experience from ordinary to extraordinary.

Here’s a look at how to create a quick and easy dried flowers card…

Dried Flowers Card Supplies:

Cards
Dried Flowers
Glue
Brush (for glue application)
Tweezers
Markers
Computer and Printer, optional
Scissors
No 2 or Graphite Pencil
Ballpoint Pen

Dried Flowers Card Steps:

Gather your supplies and make sure your workstation is free from dirt and debris.

Then place your monogrammed letter on the front of your greeting card using a freehand or simple transfer method.

If you’re using the simple transfer method, use your home computer to print out a monogrammed letter of your choice.

Use caution and care as scissors will be sharp when you cut out around the letter.

Next, flip your paper over and shade the back of the letter using a graphite or No 2 pencil.

Flip your paper over again and carefully trace the outline of the letter using a ballpoint pen.

As you lift your paper, you should see the monogrammed letter has been transferred.

Finally, use a marker (or colored pencil if you’re worried about bleed-through) to color in your monogrammed letter.

Once you have your letter in place, create a design for your quick and easy dried flowers card.

Next, use a craft brush to gently apply glue around the letter.

Then place your dried flowers on top of the glue using tweezers.

Keep in mind, that you’ll have to work quickly so the glue won’t dry before you have your flowers in place.

Once your flowers are in place, gently brush another coat of glue on top of the flowers to properly secure them to the greeting card.

After the glue has dried completely, you’re ready to add a thoughtful message inside!

We waited 24 hours just to be on the safe side.

The flowers are so delicate!

Merry Christmas

As you may have guessed, we’ve been in the mountains all week long. It has been so nice to have a break. While I’ve been able to catch up with friends, family and naps, I’ve also had a lot of time of quiet reflection. The one theme that never seems to leave my thoughts is what this season is all about – an amazing gift of love.

Holiday Gift Wrapping Station

Gift wrapping is another holiday task that really takes up a good bit of time depending on how many gifts you have to wrap. To help keep gifts and gift wrap organized, I set up a gift wrap station each year. You can use something as big as a work table if you have room or something as small as a card table in your bedroom or home office. Setting up a gift wrapping station doesn’t have to be super elaborate and you can make it has festive as you want. Here are a few things to keep in mind when setting up your own gift wrapping station…

What a great idea Coco!!! I’m growing zinnias this year and I’m going to have to dry them and press them to make cards!

  That would be so much fun, Nicolle. I was totally shocked at how delicate dried flowers were before I ordered these and can completely appreciate how much love goes into pressing them! Hope your spring season is off to a great start, CoCo

  Thank you, Rachel. I’ve never done anything with dried flowers before so it was fun to make something to keep and send. I made a bookmark for myself and my aunts are going to love the cards. It’s the simple things, you know? Hugs, CoCo

I never would have thought to brush glue OVER the flowers but it makes complete sense! Yes, I agree, sending a homemade card is so much more meaningful. I love how this project turned out.

These are so beautiful, CoCo! I want to make some! Definitely going to have to incorporate dried flowers into something for my daughter’s wedding, since she wants a garden theme. Thanks for the inspiration!

I love this idea CoCo, so personal and customized. I tried to dry flowers last year, and they molded. I am not sure what I did wrong. Yours look lovely, and I love the way you organized them on the cards. You are always so creative, and your projects always look so lovely.
