Fair trade handmade greeting cards
Each pressed flower note card (pictured to the left) is made of handmade "tree-free" paper faced with real pressed wild flowers and native plantings from the foothills of the Himalayas. The cards are 4.25” wide by 5.75” high unfolding to 8.5” of writing space. The Hope For Women logo and mission statement is printed on the back.

The women select and pluck the flowers and fronds with care so as not to destroy the plants. Each card is unique, reflecting the artist’s own vision. Complementing each card is a self-sealing handmade envelope of natural papers embedded with flowers and leaves.

All of our packaging is made with 100% recycled paper, which in turn can be recycled, and our plastic wrap is made from EarthFirst PLA film, a compostable material. All printing is done using non-toxic vegetable based inks.
