My Amiami thank you cards got water on them.
How do I dry them out without destroying them completely?
The wet part is highlighted on this picture I found on the internet.

Helped if you had actual pics of the damaged card.
Its called water damage. If its just peeled up from water damage place Elmer's Glue glue with a toothpick underneath the peeled section. Then with some cloth wipe any extra glue off. Only rub from center of the card to the border. Then place it underneath some heavy books.
If its warped. Practice this on something made out of the same material like a postcard. Info from some site were some guys asks how to repair a card with water damage. His situation was worse. "What you can do is possibly get the card damp with steam, and place is under a set of books, so that when it dries, it'll dry flat. I'm thinking of a process similar to steaming then bending wood."
Ive tried something similar on Video game cover art that got warped from water.

I've read it.
The damage isn't that bad, it's just like a few drops of water but it's very noticeable when it was wet.
I haven't tried steaming it, would a flat iron achieve that?

I would try steaming the card over boiling hot water. I've tried a hot iron before it doesn't seem like a method to uniformly get the whole card damp.
Again run a test first. Water damage a postcard or some trading card that holds no value then try to fix it using the steam method. I've done it on thinner material.

Meant steaming it using an flat iron, not applying a hot iron. I've seen this smudge all the ink.
It's dry now and the water damage part looks somewhat noticeable. Is there anyway to remove it? It isn't peeled or anything. No damage aside from that.
