Cardstock Oleander Flowers
We love designing new flowers for you all to craft! Though our flower collection is vast, we’re always happy to watch it grow. These Cardstock Oleander Flowers are brand new to Lia Griffith, and they are breathtaking. I just know you’re going to love the way they turn out.
Due to its many small pieces, we’re classifying this oleander as an advanced craft. This is the perfect project for our intermediate crafters who are ready to take on a new challenge. Needle-nose tweezers are going to be a lifesaver while making this flower, so make sure you have them on hand. To get started, click on the link to the tutorial below.

Oh! Oleander
The Oleander is a Mediterranean shrub that develops yellow, white, pink, light orange, and red flowers. You’re welcome to add some color to your arrangement, but we just loved the elegant look of these white blossoms. Oleander is generally used in decorative or ornamental gardening and is highly toxic to both animals and humans. This cardstock oleander is a great way to safely bring this flower into your home without risk to your little ones or fur babies.
This project requires quite a few skills to get just right, so be patient with yourself and take your time! When you’re all finished, we’d love to see how your oleander turned out. Please remember to show us photos of how you styled it. Post to Instagram with the hashtag #MadeWihLia, or in our crafters’ community.

Back to the TopHello Lia, would it be possible to make these with double sided white crepe paper. Is there an alternative white flower that would look nice with the bougainvillea ?
This pattern is not set up for crepe paper, but you could easily make it from lighter frosted paper. That would be gorgeous!
For another small white flower option, you could make a sweet pea in white. https://liagriffith.com/crepe-paper-sweet-peas/
We made the white ones in the crepe paper flower master class too. 🙂
Im getting troubles to cut the center with my cricut out. The smallest peace ..its likely impossible. Do you have any recommendations?
We have updated the stamen by making it a bit larger so that it will cut easier. You will want to download the newly uploaded svg file to access the updates.
I just read today that this flower is toxic to animals and humans. Don’t recall seeing these in Florida in a very long time. They are a beautiful flower.
I believe they are. I remember a long time ago. . . there was a movie by the same name with Michelle Pfifer. Paper versions are MUCH better. 😉
Dear Lia Griffith and team, do you think it is also possible to make these oleander flowers from frosted paper? Thanks for your help!
Yes! These would be so lovely in the lighter paper. 🙂
Love all the new cardstock flowers. patiently waiting for my colored pencils to arrive so I can begin this project. Thanks for all your hard work.
I love hearing that! I was resistant for a while, but Meagan has taken cardstock flowers to a new level!
