For When You Can't Send Real Flowers... 

Sending flowers is such a wonderful way to show someone that you are thinking of them.  For those that a flower delivery truck is hard to reach, but a mail box isn't, these cards might just be a cute solution.

Flower note cards

 To make the card:

1. Use pre-made, plain cards or cut a card out of plain card stock that will fit your envelope.
2. Using brown card-stock, cut the basic flat bottom "V"-shape of a pot.
3. Cut a strip of the same colored brown card-stock that is the width of the widest part of the flower pot base and attach to your flat bottom "V".
4. Punch two holes just slightly below the ridge you created in step three of equal distance.
5. String a piece of twine, rope or jewlery thread and tie a bow.  Using twine proves to be a little less manageable.
6. Using a piece of green card stock either hand cut petals for your flowers or use a paper cutting machine.  Sparadically place around the top of your pot.  If you really want to add some character to the card, you can use a green marker to draw in the veins of the petals.  
7. Using pre-made flowers of two different sizes or creating your own through a stencil or paper cutting machine, have enough to create a full arrangement of flowers for your pot.
8. Either use button brads/tacks, sticky jewels, or sew real buttons  of coordinating colors to attach to the center.
9. Attach both size flowers evenly around your pot even using foam stickies that will elevate some flowers and petals from the card.  
10. If you have any remaining flowers and petals, attach to the inside of our card.
11. Write your sweet message, put in your envelope, slap on a stamp and put in the mail!

NOTE: If you want to put some extra love into the card, you could punch holes around the edges of the pot and use an almost matching in color thread to stick around.  You could also use an almost exact color green thread to stitch the veins of the flower petals as well.
