Pressed Pansy Cards

To create personalized stationery, apply pressed pansies to handmade cards or to notepaper and matching envelopes. Pansies pressed on their stems work especially well for this project.

Tools and Materials
Pansies and violas, or other dried flowers
Medium- to heavy-weight paper or blank premade cards
Bone folder or pencil
Tweezers
Small paintbrush
Clear-drying craft glue

Pressed Pansy Cards How-To
1. Use or create cards in colors that complement your pressed flowers. If creating your own, make either a single-fold or accordion-style card, using a bone folder or the edge of a pencil to make sharp creases.

2. Arrange flowers on a spare sheet of paper as desired.

3. Use a pair of tweezers to carefully lift each flower; with a small paintbrush, dab the back of each with a bit of craft glue. Affix flowers to the card one at a time. Allow to dry before moving or touching.
