Very often, it’s the simple things that make us happy and sunflowers are most definitely one of them! Happily, we’ve got our sunflower fix with this happy-go-lucky collection of printables. Featuring golden-yellow sunflowers, buzzing bees, honey hives and a flower-filled wheelbarrow, this free collection is happiness on a page!
Fussy cut the details from the collection to create sunny scenes, with wheelbarrows, buzzy bees and sunflowers to choose between. Our designer has created a sunflower gatefold card by trimming the large sunflower into two and attaching each half to the front of a gatefold base, concealing a bee and the sentiment inside.
With sunflower and honeycomb sentiment toppers, these printables are guaranteed to make your card designs sticky sweet!
