I love handmade card ideas that are easy to make but look very professional. This handmade card was simple to create and suits most women as it has just a couple flowers and a ribbon on the front.

You could also change the wording on the front of the card so the card could be used as an anniversary or happy birthday card. As the cards design is so simple you could give this card to a woman for pretty much any occasion.

First of all, I created a square card base for the card. The card was plain white card.

The decoupage is of two flowers, one red and one yellow. It is a good idea to use these colours for the rest of the card so that it matches nicely with the decoupage.

As with many of my handmade card ideas I used some bazzill cardstock which I find lovely to work with. I placed the red Bazzill card on the front of the white card and cut it slightly smaller than the white card so that it left a border. Because the decoupage was going to be placed onto the front of the card, I felt plain card would work better than patterned, but this is down to your own choice and what you prefer.

I placed a simple red bow in the corner of the card. I tied this around the corner and used strong double sided tape to hold it in place.

The decoupage was also attached to the card using double sided tape. You could also glitter the flowers if you want them to sparkle or mat and layer the decoupage depending on how much room you have on the front of the card and how much time you want to spend on it.

I used a peel off that said ‘with love’ for the wording and I mat and layered it onto white card, then red, and then white card again. If you wanted to make it 3d you can add layers of 3D foam between the cards at this point.

I placed the ‘with love’ badge on the front of the card in the top right hand corner using double sided tape. Brads are also a great way to attach things to the front of your handmade card ideas, as they can come in some really nice designs and really finish a card off really well.

This handmade card is perfect for a lady and can be used for any occasion. If you have more time and are skilled at decoupage then you can make the decoupage yourself and create your own unique design.
