My obsession with crepe paper flowers is still going strong, and this time, I decided to turn them into Mother’s Day cards. (Well, that and one birthday card for a bestie.)
The flowers are built around a piece of floral wire, so I was able to wind this around into a little base, which I then glued to the paper-covered cardboard card. But I’m getting ahead of myself. First, the flowers:
And here are some pics of the flowers attached to the cards. Mailing them required a little finagling, and I decided to secure the cards to the bottom of the shipping box with strips of paper that could be easily snipped away to release the card.
I have bright and colorful miniature food jewelry to show you tomorrow, so be sure to check back!

Did they? 🙂
I’m sooo behind in writing to you although I have so much I want to say! I’m going to try to sit down (with some tea, probably!) and write you a letter sometime this week. 🙂 <3

They did! I’m so happy to know that it works, because now I can turn into a crepe-paper-flower-mailing fiend. 😉
And I will happily await your letter! <3
