  • Select white or light color cardstock to make the base of the card
  • For the flowers, stems, leaves and flower pot, you can use:
    • Card stock
    • Construction paper
    • Decorative paper
    • This is a great opportunity to use up paper scraps you’ve been holding onto
• Pencil
• Ruler
• Scissors
• Glue – I find it easiest to use a glue stick because it holds quickly and is less messy than liquid glue, but you can also use:
  • Craft glue
  • School glue
  • Glue dots
  • Double stick tape

• Use the template to cut out the flowers pieces from your decorative paper or use the color printed images included in the pdf.
• Glue the leaves to the stems and glue the flower centers to the outer petals.
• Glue the flowers to the top of the stems.

Cut out a pot or vase from cardstock paper.

• You can choose to make it the size you’d like depending on the size of the card you’re using.
• Fold the sides of the cardstock paper diagonally to create edges you can use to attach to the card. This also makes the flower decoration 3D rather than flat on the card.
• You can cut the top of the pot with decorative scissors or you can cut it straight across.

Glue the flowers inside the pot/vase.

Glue the vase onto your card to finish your craft.

You can print out the instructions to have on hand while you’re crafting using the card below.
