Problem: Article: The easiest way to spruce up a card is by writing your own words. Whether it's an addition to a printed message or not, a nice, personal note will take a card from kind to touching. Some ways to make the text more visual include: Writing in large, fancy handwriting or a distinct, fun style. Writing in a specific shape or pattern, such as a heart or tree. Using small drawings to represent simple ideas, such as a laughing face instead of the word "laugh." Pictures are a sweet, creative way to bring life to otherwise simple cards. Use pens, colored pencils, or crayons to draw something that has meaning to you and the person receiving the card. Make sure to leave a little space between the picture and the original card text, that way it can still be read. Some simple drawings include things from nature, like trees, flowers, or the sun, and animals, like dogs, cats, or fish. If you don't want to draw a full picture, try simply shading the card to add extra color. To make a drab card more exciting, draw a border around it. These can be simple, single-line borders or complex, museum-quality masterpieces. Try using a color or design that compliments the rest of the card, like using red and green for a Christmas card or drawing paw prints around a card about animals. For a simple border, try writing a message around the edge of the card. For cards that are already illustrated, try adding your own simple touches to make it more personal. For elegant designs, add extra flourishes or references to the card recipient's favorite things. For sillier designs, draw mustaches on top of the images or add inside jokes that have meaning to you and the person you're sending the card to.
Summary: Write the text yourself. Draw a picture on the card. Draw borders around the card. Add to the current design.

If you do pick your own, cut them in the morning after the morning dew has evaporated and avoid picking them on rainy daysyou want them to be as dry as possible. Flowers with flat blooms, like violets, daisies, and shrub roses, are the easiest to press, but you can also use thicker blooms, like peonies and orchids. Avoid using really thick flowers, like impatiens and begonias. They're so thick that they generally start to get moldy before they actually dry out. If you prep your flowers and realize you aren't ready to start pressing them for whatever reason, keep them fresh in the fridge. Put them into a plastic, resealable bag. This also comes in handy if you find flowers you want to press while you're traveling. You can keep them in the fridge until you go back home. If you don't have access to a fridge, keep them in a cooler or somewhere similar to try and preserve them until you can press them.

SUMMARY: Choose fresh flowers that don't have any morning dew on them. Store flowers you aren't ready to use in the fridge for 2-3 days.
