Scented Greeting Cards

Choose a picture of a flower that you would like to use. I tend to print the picture up on glossy photo paper.

I tend to attach the picture to my coloured card that I am going to use for greeting cards.

To scent the cards use a pure essential oil to match the fragrance of the flower you are using on the card.

For example
Rose essential oil with pictures or photos of roses
Lavender essential oil with pictures or photos of lavender
Lemon essential oil with pictures or photos of lemon trees

To scent your greeting cards
Simply place 2 or 3 drops of the appropriate essential oil (or blend of oils) onto a piece of blotting paper or cotton wool balls, then place in a self sealing plastic bag with the card that you want to fragrance. Seal and leave for 48 hours. When you remove the card it will be delicately fragranced.

You can also turn the same images into a range of bookmarks, writing paper, invitations, place cards, etc.

When finished you can give your cards away as gifts to family and friends

Basic Instructions for a Shaker Card

Supplies you will need

Cardstock
Stamps
3-D Foam Strips
Overhead Transparencies or Acetate
Scissors
Fillers such as mini beads, punches, confetti, sand, glitter, etc.

Instructions:
Plan your shaker box for your card. Stamp your focal point that will show through the window and set it aside.

Cut a “window” out of contrasting cardstock or paper to make a frame for your shaker box.

Cut your overhead transparency to be the same size as your frame.

This step is important - attach the transparency to the backside of the shaker box frame. The transparency is supposed to be between the cardstock and foam squares. This is where sometimes get mixed up and accidentally attach the transparency after the 3-D foam strips instead of before.

Use 3-d Foam Strips to line the outside edges of the shaker box right around the opening. Close to My Heart's 3-D foam is so nice because it comes with both strips and squares of different sizes to accommodate the size and shape of the shaker box.

Put your chosen filler inside the box.

Peel off the adhesive cover from the foam strips.

Carefully attach the focal point to the back of the shaker box. Attach the shaker box to your card.
