How to Make a Card with Pressed Pansy Flowers 

Pressed flower gifts made from dried and pressed flowers is a nice way to say thank you, happy birthday or congratulations to a friend.

Whether they helped you with something, maybe a special birthday coming up or just for being a good friend, this is the gift to give and if they are like me they might put it in a frame and hang it on the wall as a keepsake.

Things You Will Need to Make a Card With Pressed Flowers:

1. 1 sheet of yellow card-stock.
2. 1 sheet of lavender card-stock.
3. 1 sheet of white paper.
   
4. Hole puncher.
5. 1 can of spray adhesive.
6. Newspaper, (to protect your work surface).
7. Scissors.
8. 1 envelope.
9. 1 or 2 crayons or colored pensils.
   

Method:

1. To make this card I cut a piece of yellow card-stock measuring 10 1/2 inches by 7 1/4 inches. (26.7 cm by 19.7 cm) folded in half measures 5 1/4 inches by 7 1/4 inches. (13.3 cm by 19.7 cm)
2.  I also cut a piece of lavender card-stock 1 inch smaller than the yellow card-stock.
3. With the lavender card-stock I glued 3 pretty pansies using spray adhesive and also used a fancy corner punch to make the corners pretty.
4. For the decoration I used the pieces that are left when you punch holes.  
5. You can write some kind of wording on the front. 
   

 
Why not decorate the inside of the card?

1. For this I printed off a Pansy like flower and the words, "thank you!". I colored the flower in yellow crayon and outlined it with black marker pen. So it stands out more and glued a bow in the middle.
   
2. I cut the white paper 1 inch (2.5 cm) smaller that the card. I thought it would be nice to make the corners of the white paper a little fancy so I used a patterned hole puncher.
   
3. Then I placed glue down the fold of the card and glued them together. Making sure the white paper was right in the fold of the card.
   

How to Make a Gift Tag

This easy to make gift tag can be used on it's own or part of the card with pressed flowers above, which would make the perfect stationary set for any thank you gift basket. 

Gift tags can be used instead if a greeting card. You could write a few kind words on the back of your gift tag.

1. To make this thank you tag I cut a piece of yellow card-stock measuring 5 inches by 1 3/4 inches (12.7 cm by 4.4 cm) and used a hole puncher to make the edges look softer.
2. I printed 2 more flowers like the inside of the card, but a little smaller and colored them with pink crayon and outlined them black.
3. I glued the flowers to the thank you tag and the lavender pieces are leftovers from hole punching lavender card-stock.  
4. I wrote "Thank You!" on the bottom but you can write your own message on the front or on the back. It's up to you.

A card with pressed flowers are great presents, make this easy creative card using pressed flowers or the gift tag and say thanks, congrats, happy birthday or happy Mother's Day to friends or family.

Pressed flower gifts are fun to make and even better to receive.
