Studio Flower Power Designer Holiday Cards

I think these cards by Jackie Bassett of Studio Flower Power would make great holiday cards or the perfect hostess gift.  Each one is made by hand with real pressed flowers that Jackie grows herself.  Visit her Etsy shop Studio Flower Power to see other styles with reindeer, Christmas trees, cats, and more.  Love these.

Jackie lives in Canada and shipping to the U.S. takes a little longer.  Order now from Studio Flower Power at Etsy if you're interested.

Happy Black Friday
