Fabric flower cards

Fabric flower cards
These simple homemade cards add a personal touch to any gift or greeting. In fact, packaging a variety of them in a box or simply tied with a ribbon makes a great gift in and of itself. You'll need the following materials:
  • Card stock. Soft pastels, cream, or even black work well.
  • Paper cutter. While scissors would work, a paper cutter helps you get a perfect edge.
  • Fabric. This a great project to use up scraps of fabric. You'll need a green for the foliage, yellow or orange for the center of the flowers, and a variety of colors for the petals. For added interest, opt for subtle tone-on-tone patterns or mottled fabrics; solid colors tend to look flat and lifeless on the cards.
  • Glue stick. Make sure to choose a glue stick that works with fabric and paper.
  • Fabric scissors. Sharp scissors with a fine point (such as scissors made for quilters) work best.
I'll discuss how to make your greeting cards bloom after the break. You can follow along step-by-step in the gallery.
