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!
Thank you for your lovely comment. I’m so glad you’ve tried it and had success with this method. Its a wonderful way to preserve delicate flowers and leaves 🌺🌸🍁🍂🌿🍂🍁
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.
Dianne Blake, My mother taught me how to do this when I was a child. We would put waxed paper down, place the flowers on top of the waxed paper and place the tissue (dry) over this. Then, we would carefully "paint" on the glue. You can use fine glitter too!
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 :)
@@NinaRibenaMixedMedia he still has the bookmark I made him as a little girl and uses it so this one will be extra special. Thank you so much for the inspiration!
+Janet Harvey Haha! I was so thrilled will how these looked once they’d been covered with the deli paper. They just look so beautiful. I’ve spent hours collecting and drying more to preserve. Love them xxx
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.
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.
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
+Leslie Clare's Creations I will be trying it with some of the wonderful flowers in Spain when we are there next year. We have hibiscus in the garden there!
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, 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.
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.
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!
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.
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
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
Thanks so much Portia. Here are a couple of more recent videos using dried flowers that you may also enjoy 💕 Dried flowers on burlap: ua-cam.com/video/lm7pCRVdsLE/v-deo.html Dried flower embellishment charm embellishments: ua-cam.com/video/etq3GmTc7Pg/v-deo.html
+Donna Williamson Thanks so much Donna. It was just one of those light bulb moments after I had a complete and utter fail trying to fuse it between the waxy paper that cereal comes packaged in!
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.
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!
LOL! There was method in my madness! I am completely addicted to making these cards at the moment. I have spent hours and hours at the ironing board this week! Hugs to you too x
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.
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!
These are beautiful Nina! I’m wondering if the color fades over time? Your videos brought back a lovely memory of when my children were little. I used to enjoy taking them to the library, which had a couple of ponds nearby with ducks. They loved to pick tiny purple flowers with fern like leaves that grew in the grass there. I tried pressing some, but they were lost in a move, so I don’t know if they retained their color. I might have to go back and see if they still grow there in the Spring, as I would love to try your process of preserving them in my memory books. I will never forget the pride on their little faces when they handed me a handful of these beautiful little petals. They may have been weeds, but I couldn’t have been more happy if they were expensive roses! I need to record this story before I forget it again. Thanks for the inspiration.
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!
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)
+verafi lindeng Yes, I can see so many ways these can be used. I’ve never spent so much time at the ironing board lol! I ironed another batch yesterday, and I’ve just been for a walk down the lane to collect more! Hugs xxx
Thank you for a wonderful video! I tried this today and it went well. Had to use tracing paper because I didn't have the Deli paper. I also used a very fine netting (tulle) which worked very well! It gave such a clear image. The glue does come through a bit so you have to keep that in mind until it dries. I also have a process where I put down wax paper, then the dried flowers and then a tissue over the flowers. Carefully 'paint' the glue on to the tissue. ( I think it is one part glue/one part water) I've been doing this method for years since that is how my mother taught me to do this process. You can then cut the wax paper to fit your card ( when dry) and insert a card under the wax paper/dried flower/tissue piece. I hope this is clear!
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
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)
+BraveBlueRaven Art and Craft Thanks so much Ginny. I have been making these all week with the few we have left. I think they’re beautiful. Hugs to you too 😘
Great idea. Another suggestion would be to add a layer of Mod Podge on top of the finished item too, like in decoupage. It will make the paper layer over the flower appear more translucent.
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

I love this technique and the way it protects the flowers. I also like the slightly translucent look it gives to the finished piece.
Thanks Teresa. I like the translucent look too, it really adds to it I think. I am so addicted to this at the moment!
They look so delicate and classy, just perfect.... thanks Nina!

Thanks Laura, they would wouldn't they.
These are beautiful Nina! I’m wondering if the color fades over time? Your videos brought back a lovely memory of when my children were little. I used to enjoy taking them to the library, which had a couple of ponds nearby with ducks. They loved to pick tiny purple flowers with fern like leaves that grew in the grass there. I tried pressing some, but they were lost in a move, so I don’t know if they retained their color. I might have to go back and see if they still grow there in the Spring, as I would love to try your process of preserving them in my memory books. I will never forget the pride on their little faces when they handed me a handful of these beautiful little petals. They may have been weeds, but I couldn’t have been more happy if they were expensive roses! I need to record this story before I forget it again. Thanks for the inspiration.
Thanks Linda. None of mine have faded so far, but I’m not sure about their long term longevity 💕

AMAZING TUTORIAL
THANK YOU 🙏
Thank you for a wonderful video! I tried this today and it went well. Had to use tracing paper because I didn't have the Deli paper. I also used a very fine netting (tulle) which worked very well! It gave such a clear image. The glue does come through a bit so you have to keep that in mind until it dries. I also have a process where I put down wax paper, then the dried flowers and then a tissue over the flowers. Carefully 'paint' the glue on to the tissue. ( I think it is one part glue/one part water) I've been doing this method for years since that is how my mother taught me to do this process. You can then cut the wax paper to fit your card ( when dry)
and insert a card under the wax paper/dried flower/tissue piece. I hope this is clear!
Thanks so much for sharing your ideas Heidi. I particularly love the idea of using Tulle 💕💕💕
Love it ! What a great idea for our group !

As usual, I love your creativity! Keep creating! I will be watching!
Great idea. Another suggestion would be to add a layer of Mod Podge on top of the finished item too, like in decoupage. It will make the paper layer over the flower appear more translucent.
Beautiful cards.
Thanks Marly :)
I absolutely love these! Can't wait for the leaves to change so I can give this a try❤️
+Diana Holloway You will love it Diana ❤️
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.
