Today, let’s make these Easy Pretty DIY Botanical Notecards. Another one of my homemade stationery ideas to try. They have a lovely contemporary vibe that can be used any time of the year. I used the .png images so that I can incorporate different colored backgrounds. What do you think?

Easy Pretty DIY Botanical Notecards – Instructions
For this tutorial, I am changing the backgrounds using the same technique I used in How to Change Background Colors in Silhouette Studio
- Open your botanical pattern (.png) in Silhouette Studio
- Optional – change the background color
- Create a square – this will be the white frame or border around your notecard. Make sure the lines of the square will be visible when you print by changing the Line Thickness
- Place your pattern on the square – resize so that you can see the border
- Select both the frame and the pattern and Object > Align > Align Center-Middle
- Repeat for each notecard
- Send to print
- Cut out your notecards
Cute stationery idea, right? This project will take you about 20-30 minutes, depending on the number of note cards you create. If you are doing a big batch and own a Silhouette cutting machine (I own the CAMEO 3), use the Print and Cut feature to save time. Let me know how your DIY Floral Note Cards turn out!
