I have lots of scrap paper left over from various projects. This card utilizes small size handmade paper that is too small for most of projects but too good to be thrown away.

Materials:

Card stock

Pressed flowers (prefer 4 different colors smaller or equal to 1 inch across in size)

2 or 3 small pieces of handmade paper

1 inch paper puncher (any shape would be fine).

either clear shipping tape or clear cold lamination film.

Procedures:

   Foil card stock and cut to size. I have a 5X7 card here but you can cut to any size larger than 4X4.

Use a Ruler to determine the center line. Use pencil to lightly mark a small line. I also mark 2.5 inch down from the top edge.

 Cut the scrap paper into 1.5 inch squares. I have two of each kind. One kind is highly textured. The other kind is smooth. Make a cross mark of the center of the square.

 

 

 

 

 Flip over the paper puncher, position the cnter of the paper to the center of the opening. Punch out.

Position the paper with punch out on the card. Mark the center of the opening on card. This is where you will be placing the flowers.

 

 

 

 

 

Glue the flowers on the marks. Trim down the clear shipping tape to size. Put one on top of each flower to protect them.

Glue the punched out paper squares on the top according to the lines.

Use a printable larger sheet of handmade paper, print the wordings. I cut them into squares to match the top. Glue them on the card. If you don't have a printable handmade paper, print on a plain sheet of paper will work too.
