I tried this late last night after viewing your video, and I'm in love with this process! I love the look of it, like the flowers are behind a thin veil. And it was so easy! I mean, I did fumble about a little because the flowers and leaves are so delicate, but all in all, anyone can do this. I tried the tissue paper layer as someone below suggested, but it was very difficult. I do like how it turned out, though, but the deli paper was a lot easier to work with. I have tons of pressed flowers my daughter has done, and now we have a beautiful way to use them. Thank you!

Omg her enthusiasm is to die for. 😂

I love this! It just gave me the perfect idea for a gift for my dad; his dog passed away about 6 months ago which he struggles with every day, but the vet gave him seeds to plant in her honor. They turned into pretty, blue flowers. He’s a reader (he reads many hours per day) so I’m going to take one of the blue flowers and make a bookmark out of it for him. I used to make him those as a child but this one will be extra special. Thank u so much for sharing because this will definitely be a project that brings my dad some joy again :)

They would make very sweet bookmarks as well!

What a wonderful FIND!! I have so many dried flowers and have thought of making cards etc. What a wonderful, creative ideas…THANK YOU!!

So lovely! I wouldn't have thought to use deli paper. My grandmother taught me how to do this with tissues. Take a tissue (not tissue paper) and make it single ply. Using 1 part Elmers glue and 1 part water, glue the flower between the card and the tissue. The tissue will wrinkle in a lovely manner. I sometimes add extra wrinkles by pouncing the glue gently on the flower side of the tissue. If you tear the tissue instead of cutting it, you can get a nice deckled edge. I've made invitations and thank you notes this way. Sometimes I add irredesent medium to the glue mixture to add some subtle sparkle. I hope you try this. I have friends that have saved the cards I gave them for years.

That's so sweet ! Who wouldn't love to receive a beautiful card like this ?!

Hi Nina, I just found you and I am loving what you are doing!! I have so many dried flowers and now I know how to use them! Genius! Thank you!!💕

I pressed some Flowers 💐 I got for My Birthday back in June. I figured I would make a card or something with them. This is a Cute Idea! 👍 💗🤗💗

They look so delicate and classy, just perfect.... thanks Nina!

I love your excitement in this video Nina. Thanks for sharing. I used to press flowers with my grandmother in old books. I hadn't thought about that in ages. I always loved the results. I'll be doing something similar. What a great idea to add to a garden journal I've been wanting to make. TFS!

Yeah ! This is perfect for me. I have a shoebox full of dried flowers from a friends garden that I can finally use. Thanks for sharing.

Nina this is brilliant. I have some dried flowers still in the books I put them in a year ago. Now I know exactly how to use them. Thank you for a lovely video and always wonderful listening to you.

Ok, I know what I will be doing this afternoon! Totally enamored with this!

What a treat this video is. Thank you Nina.

Hi Nina, these are lovely. Have you ever tried Flower Pounding? I googled it and here on U-tube there is not much. But I took a class a few Saturdays ago and we pounded fresh flowers on to cotton fabric. Since I am a paper artist I wanted to use paper. So when I got home I did it on water color paper. Turned out beautiful!!!! So here is what you do to get a good print. You use fresh flowers and flat ones work better. Cut the stem off and lay the flower upside down on to your watercolor paper. Lay a piece of deli paper over the top. Take a rubber mallet or hammer and pound the flower into the paper. It takes a bit of pratice to learn how not to pound to hard or to soft to get it right. But you can peek by lifting a corner of the deli paper to see how you are doing. You can layer the flowers and also pound leaves and ferns ect. When you are done seal it with some mat medium.

Oh my goodness, you just blew my mind when you sandwiched those beautiful flowers and leaves between the deli paper! At first, I'm thinking what it she doing, but them wow, I'm speechless! That is an awesome technique!! Plus keeps the back clean as you work on them, who are you, Nina!! Lol! They are beautiful mounted! And I agree, my envelope punch board is priceless! Hugs, Debra!

As usual, I love your creativity! Keep creating! I will be watching!

I, too, love iced spruce. It's perfect for doing the edges of paper. I've gotten tired of vintage photo etc. Thank you for the vid. I always learn tons from you.

My mom started using dried flowers for cards and sent me a flower press.I am a novice but love watching your videos.Thank you!!!!

So pretty and soft! I am going to go hunting for pretty dried plants/flowers. Thanks Nina!

I absolutely love these! Can't wait for the leaves to change so I can give this a try❤️

Love this idea! Great way to prevent bits flaking off in your journal!

Oh my goodness, these are absolutely stunning❤❤❤ Thanks so much Nina😊

thank you for the 2 videos on these flowers. I appreciate both

Love these cards simple but look very classy

Love love love this idea!! I have had dried flowers and leaves saved for years just waiting for a great way to use them. Now I have it! Thank you so much. I wish it hadn't taken me 5 years to find it.

I love your excitement!

look at what you did!!!! those came out beautiful Nina - so pretty and delicate TFS

Looks so quick & easy!

I make cards and bookmarks with pressed flowers and just brush Mod Podge over the flowers and card to seal them. You do have to be sure to make all the brush strokes in the same direction because depending on the angle of the light they can be seen, but I like that look. However, I will try this method since it will be a different look. Thanks for your video, the cards are lovely ❤️

I just love your ideas. Every time I watch one of your videos, I have a thousand ideas rushing around in my head. Then I turn off and promptly forget them all haha. Everyone can have a go at the things you share with us...then everyone can become an artist!

I love this technique and the way it protects the flowers. I also like the slightly translucent look it gives to the finished piece.

Yep, just ran across some pressed leaves and am now on my way to my garden.. Love pressed flowers and leaves

Love love love! Your cards are beautiful,Nina and look very professional! Thanks for sharing. Big hugs,Dee xxx

Brilliant idea and exactly what I was looking for!

You are lovely to listen to!! Awesome videos..thanks for sharing!

Very Pretty, never thought of using flowers like that.

This was exactly what i was looking for! Thank you for making this video❤ just love how it turned out. So beautiful

I really love this idea, I am going to try it with fall leaves!!! Thank you so much for the idea!

The plant cards and tags are so lovely and so easy, it appears. Just wonderful! TFS, Nina!

Love the natural look and feel of these sweet cards... And... Now I have yet another use for my huge box of deli paper that I too purchased for use with the gelli plates ( which... I still want to play with!)... TFS

Oh these are beautiful. I see using them in a lot of different projects. TFS

The mind spins with all the ideas! Painting the watercolor paper first, making bookmarks, card sets! I kept picturing myself trying this with a giant Palm frond from one of the trees here! 😃 But I can't wait to do with some hibiscus flowers and more. Another inspired idea Nina

I love what you have done with all your dried flowers. You cannot even tell that the Deli Paper is on the flowers. Wow!

these are so beautiful. I'm going to have to go walk around and see what I can find for flowers and leaves to dry and make into cards. I have a few cards I need to send out and how nice to send a bit of my local foliage to someone special.

These are so pretty! I can’t wait to try.

This is such a fabulous idea, I now know where I went wrong years ago when I tried to do something similar with flower petals. Tfs xo

I love this, I have some lovely fall color flowers in leaves & blooms.

It's amazing how much of a difference there is when you ink the edges!

I love this idea! I have never play with dry flowers or leaves. I will. Thanks.

Oh yes, we definitely like what you are doing. I have used napkins before and it works fairly the same way. This is a beautiful organic project. Thanks for showing your excitement and enthusiasm. -Marsha from Texas

Great idea! Thanks, Nina!

These are so beautiful Nina! Thanks for the easy way to dry them and also to use them! Hugs Marsha

You are a genius. Thank you for sharing your ideas. These are beautiful.

Gorgeous and clever! Thanks Nina :)

These are a beautiful way of displaying dried flowers. I am very glad to have found you & subscribed to your channel. Thanks for sharing.

Genius!!! Thank you for the inspiration!

I love your enthusiasm for your art. Your plant projects are lovely. I "Mod Podge'd" a branch of goldenrod into a travel journal last year. It took some patience to get it to adhere, because the stem is quite wiry, but it worked. It's so good to see I'm not alone in loving having real flowers in my art work.

Love it ! What a great idea for our group !

I've only recently started drying flowers & had wondered how on earth I'd be able to keep them without damaging them. Then I watched your gelli plate leaf printing video where you linked to this video. My day tomorrow is set aside for giving this a try. I don't have deli paper (yet) but I do have tracing paper & vellum. Thank you so much for sharing this amazing video.

Nina, these are simply elegant!

Your enthusiasm is so infectious...............if it wasn't pitch dark I'd be outside foraging. Wonderful, easy ides. Just love it xxx

What a great idea. Your cards are beautiful and isn't it lovely to have the flowers to look at long after they would disappear from the garden.

Thank you Nina, they are so beautiful.

Fabulous idea! I love the cards very elegant! Hugs

I like the cards, very delicate look.

they are all beautiful, Nina. I'm getting really fired up to make a start on this, I'll have to try using tracing paper rather than deli wrap until I can get some though. Thanks so much for both videos today. Bejay xx

My comment is being posted long after your video was seen. I recently found you & I just love all your creations & tutorials. 💖

I am new to this. Thanks for all the great ideas! I am looking forward to starting.

Thanks Nina, definitely will try this process.

I love what you've done.. great tips.. Thanks!

Lovely cards, so simple but stunning.

Awesome idea! Thanks for sharing!!

Oh my stars I love them they are beautiful and I could see putting a bunch of these in frames to hang up

THANK YOU nINA YOU HAVE MADE MY DAY WITH THE 2 VIDEOS .

Just beautiful cards, Nina!

These are really pretty Nina 😊.Love them x

AMAZING TUTORIAL THANK YOU 🙏

These are beautiful!!

Lovely cards Nina and a very nice technique! Thanks for sharing your ideas! I have dried and preserved flowers using mod podge gloss - I just coat them all over with the glue, doing one side at a time. This preserves their shape and colour. I then add my flowers to other projects. I have some lovely new spring flowers in the garden right now - so I think I will have a go at drying some today. Tfs Hugs, Ginny xo :o)

I absolutely love these and I will be picking flowers and leaves from my garden to try this.

They are so beautiful Nina and would make gorgeous simple cards. Thanks for sharing this idea . Marina :)

These are gorgeous, Nina! Nature's beautiful. What a great way to preserve them. I'd probably use these everywhere, as cards but also in art journal pages. Tfs, hugs, Fia (off to the garden, lol)

Thank you for another informative tutorial. Great tip using the deli paper. Donna, in California.

These are lovely. I'm trying them out on sunflowers. Hopefully they work

Very pretty! I love using natural elements. Tfs Hugs Shell

I have a lot of pressed flowers…thank you…..will do some soon

Best video on dried flowers

Wow! It may freeze tonight so my flowers will be lost. I will do this next year or maybe tomorrow if I still have any blooms remaining. This method is an incredible process to preserve our samples in our garden journals! Thanks for sharing this tutorial!

This is perfect , just what I needed, as I i a dried fern leaf, and was wondering how I could use it in a journal. Thank you. Have subscribed 💕

Gorgeous cards Nina.

Good idea! Can't wait 2 try this being that I recently received a flower press as a gift & already got some flowers in there waiting 4 me 2 do something with

Love these!

I'm loving these. What an awesome idea. TFS xoxox Beth

Beautiful cards. They would make a nice gift card. TFS Nina.

Really nice way of preserving flowers, thanks...

Beautiful embellishments.
