Step-by-Step Guide to Crafting Your Handmade Card

1. Choose Your Base Design

Start by getting your DIY Card ready with a statement envelope. Consider soft pastels, neutrals, or floral patterns to create a warm and inviting look.

2. Create a Wax Seal Accent

If using our Wax Seal Card & Tag Kit, follow the included instructions for melting and stamping your wax.
Pour a small amount onto your card in the desired location.
Press the seal stamp firmly into the wax and let it set before removing.
Optional: Use Self-Adhesive Wax Seals for a quick and easy application, made on your Wax Seal Makers Mat.

3. Attach Dried Flowers & Ribbon

Arrange your dried flowers in a small bouquet or accent piece.
Secure them to the card with Adhesive Backings or glue.
Wrap a piece of silk or satin ribbon around the card and tie it in a soft bow or knot for a delicate touch.

4. Personalise with a Heartfelt Message

Inside the card, write a personal message in calligraphy or elegant handwriting. Consider including a poem, a memory, or a simple expression of gratitude.

5. Final Touches

Check for balance in your design and adjust any elements as needed. If mailing the card, place it in an envelope lined with tissue paper to protect the delicate details.
