So I’m back with another greeting card and this time with a free template download!
I’ve been very inspired by those large paper flower decors and the Lancome La Rose Blush that I’ve been seeing. So I tried making a smaller paper rose for decorating my greeting cards. Since Mother’s Day is coming up soon, I feel that this would make a very pretty Mother’s Day card or any special occasion greeting card.
Materials I used:
- Cardstock paper
- Printer and printer paper
- Double sided tape
- Scissors
- Petals Template (which you could download here): Petals PDF File
- Ribbon
- Pen
I printed out two sheets of petals and cut out all the petals. Then I rolled one of them into a tube shape (with the pink showing on the outside) and taped it into that position. Then, curl the top of all the petals.
Placing a piece of double sided tape onto the bottom of the tube, I wrapped/folded two other petals around the tube.
Then, placing another piece of tape at the bottom, I wrapped more petals around the previous petals. My paper rose isn’t circular at the bottom; I kept it somewhat flat and folded (as shown on the photo above) at the bottom so it’ll be easier to tape later onto the card.
I continued adding more until I was satisfied with how it looked.
I didn’t end up using all the petals I cut out but I was pretty happy with how it turned out.
I had a half piece of card stock paper that I folded in half to be the card. On the bottom of the flower, where a typical stem would be, I taped it directly onto the card.
For finishing touches I taped a small ribbon onto the bottom of the flower.
I just need to add a message on the inside and it’ll be completed.
I feel like I’m a little bit obsessed with roses and have made quite a few rose themed crafts. LOL which flower are you obsessed with?
