Greeting Card:

  • The technique for making these cards is simple.
  • Start with old floral greetings cards or floral printed scrapbook paper -- you will need two or more copies of each individual flower, more is better.
  • Take scissors and cut out individual flowers and leaves. When it comes to assemble the card, arrange a variety of cutouts to your pleasing in a base layer.
  • To get the three dimensional effect, use pop dots foam adhesives to layer leaves and petals over the base flowers.
  • There is no right or wrong way to make your arrangements, which is half the fun. Sometimes you will layer an entire flower cutout over its duplicate on the base of the card.
  • You can get even more details by layering individual petal and leaf cutouts on different areas to really give the bouquet dimension.
  • Another tip is to layer the number of pop dots you use, so some petals will rest higher than others on the paper.
