The seed packet cards from last night’s facebook live were a fun project for the first day of spring. At least the calendar says it is spring, even if the weather hasn’t caught up yet! I showed two layouts – one with the seed packet on the front as shown above, and one with the pocket on the inside of the card.
This first one, in Petal Pink and Grapefruit Grove, uses a Medium Clear Envelope as the pocket for the seed packet. The beautiful die cut from Springtime Impressions looks like the pocket piece, but it is actually attached over the top of the the clear envelope.
The card base is 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, scored at 4 1/4″, and the Gingham Gala paper measures 4″ x 5 1/4″. Please check out the video below for more complete instructions. If you are receiving this post in an email, please click here for the video.
These are very easy to make, and they would be great for Mother’s Day, showers, event favors, or any occasion.
The second layout uses designer paper as the base, and the pocket is on the inside. This group of samples uses the Happiness Blooms suite. The matted pieces on the card fronts are stitched rectangles.
The designer paper measures 5 1/2″ x 12″, scored at 4″ and 8″. The inner Whisper White card measures 3 3/4″ x 5 1/4″.
This one uses the Well Said bundle and a few blooms from the Bitty Blooms Punch Pack.
This one uses the Painted Seasons stamps and designer paper. The seed packet was a bit bulkier on this sample, so I have added a length of Braided Linen Trim to tie the card closed.
I hope you will try making these with your favorite papers and stamps. I think they make a perfect seasonal card for any occasion!
