You can also use scissors and pretty paper, ribbons, or other material to cut out designs and affix to heavy-stock colored paper. Here is a fun butterfly card and another butterfly card design.

If you’ve ever looked at paper flower projects on Pinterest or YouTube, you’ll know how pretty and lifelike they can be. And they aren’t very difficult to make. Just get colorful paper or print out a design on white paper, and use one of the many available tutorials to make color flowers. Feel free to try this tutorial, this one, or this other one.
