Watercolor Floral Card

One of the prettiest set of Anna Griffin cards is the Watercolor Floral decoupage set of cards. This is one of my favorites. I love the red flowers on this one. You don't need to have any graphic skills at all to make some really beautiful cards with a pre-cut kit.

Sometimes you just want to make something in the easiest way possible and these are easy, quick and pretty to make. How wonderful would it be to receive a card like this?

The King of Flowers

Yep, it's the rose. Most people would agree that roses are the most beautiful and popular flower of all. And they smell heavenly. You can find an abundance of vintage rose graphics out there to download and clean up.

This is one of my favorites. I love the bi-color roses.

Frilly Fair Maidens

I love these line drawings and hand colored fashion plates from the 1800's. The ladies are so frilly and over decorated like pieces of candy or delicate flowers. They are from the Romantic (1820-1850) fashion period and the early Victorian (1830-1890) period.

There is a beauty to them just because they were colored by hand before being distributed in magazines. They didn't have the fancy printing presses we have today.

Flower Box Card

I first saw these type of cards on YouTube. I can't remember the name of the person who was making one but there are several out there that will show you how to do them and you can do a search and pick up a free pattern for them too.

I already had a pretty large stash of vintage flowers and butterflies to print off for mine. I got the digital file from Cricut and cut them out. Then I just starting gluing them together.

This is one of my favorites. It reminds me of watercolor paints. What I really like about the window box / flower box / pop-up box cards is that the card is also the present. They are a box of flowers and a greeting card all rolled into one!
