Supplies You’ll Need to Make a Similar Greeting Card:

  • A flower embellishment: The one pictured on the sample card is a clear acrylic embellishment by Clear Scraps. They are no longer making this specific item, but you can substitute pretty much any simple flower-shaped die cut, chipboard shape or similar embellishment for this.
  • Adirondack Alcohol Ink in Wild Plum and Stream
  • Magic Mesh — I don’t think Magic Mesh is available any more, but there are a few different ways you can get a similar effect. If I were going to try to replicate this card, I’d probably use a mesh stencil or stamp like this one or this one to create and cut out a paper border design that would give sort of the same effect.
  • Faux Flowers: I used flowers by Prima and Hot Off the Press to create the card you see pictured above. The flowers I used have been discontinued, but you can use just about any Prima flowers or other similar flowers to create a similar effect on your handmade greeting cards.
  • Brad: I used a brad by Amy Butler / K & Company that has now been discontinued, but there are many other unique and lovely brads available that you could use.
  • Decorative Scissors: I used Fiskars Paper Edgers in several different designs: Victorian Paper Edgers, Paper Seagull Paper Edgers and Fiskars Mini Scallop Paper Edgers. You can still buy some of these Paper Edgers at Dick Blick.
  • Fiskars 1/16” Circle Hand Punch
  • Sharpie Marker
  • Cardstock
  • Zip Dry Paper Glue
  • Patterned paper
