From:

Send spring notes or invitations on cards decorated with dainty ferns and flowers. Select thin, delicate cuttings because they dry easily; we used maidenhair fern, goldenrod, and hydrangea.

Tools and Materials
Very thin leaves or petal
Newsprint
Iron
Card stock
Spray adhesive

Pressed Plant Cards How-To
1. Working on an ironing board, place leaves and petals on top of three layers of plain newsprint, available at art-supply stores. Place another sheet of newsprint on top.

2. Press with an iron set at a medium temperature until the plant cuttings turn slightly paler, about 2 minutes.

3. Attach dried cuttings to card stock with spray adhesive, and let dry.
