Mother’s Day Cards – Flowers Made With Vegetables!

You might be surprised by the pretty cards you can make with, of all things, vegetables! When you cut veggies such as celery, lettuce or okra in the right way, they can be used as stamps. Just pat the cut end dry, dip your vegetable stamp into paint or ink, then press it onto card stock or paper! These are perfect for Mother’s Day.

You can stamp with fruit as well, but we thought we’d see how many kinds of veggies we could find that could be used in their natural form as stamps. In addition to using vegetables as-is, you can use some – most notably potatoes – as a base for carving your own stamp designs.

Here are seven ideas we found for using vegetables in their original form as stamps (no carving, just slicing.) Make a flowery card for your favorite mom today!
