The Enchanting Process

Creating pressed flower cards is like casting a spell with nature’s beauty. Let’s weave some magic together:

1. Flower Hunt: Venture out with your nanny to collect an assortment of colourful flowers. Remember to ask for permission if you’re in a public garden.
2. Pressing Time: Once you’ve gathered your blossoms, it’s time to press them. Lay them gently between sheets of clear contact paper and press them with books for about a week.
3. Design Your Dreams: After your flowers are ready, unleash your creativity! Choose your cardstock and start designing your cards. Will you make a colourful bouquet or a secret garden?
4. Floral Magic: Use craft glue to attach your pressed flowers to your cards. You can create flower people, animals, or any imaginative scene you desire.
