Supply List
How To Make This Project
1. Fold the 6 x 9 sheet in half to create a 4 1/2 x 6" card. Use a bone folder or blunt knife to smooth the fold. Suggested papers: paper to match your invitations or "plantable" handmade paper that grows wildflowers when planted.
2. To create a photo card, use clear photo corners to affix a 4 x 5 photo to the front of the card.
3. To create a flower window card, cut a 2 x 2" window in the front of the card. Cut a sheet of contrasting paper measuring 4 1/2 x 6" to glue behind the card front. Place a pressed flower or leaf on the contrasting paper before gluing in place.
4.For a "plantable" card that recipients can plant to grow wildflowers, use a vellum liner inside the card. Recipients can save your note of thanks written on the vellum and plant the handmade paper for a lasting momento.
