Here is the perfect spring card. It has a pocket up front that is the size of a seed packet. Anyone would be happy for receive a packet of flower seeds at this time of year.
The sentiment is a sticker matted on brown eyes paper - "Life Began in a Garden". The sentiment is flanked by copper mini brads.
Decorating the pocket are three stamps on stakes which are embossed with a wood grain folder. The stamps looks very much like seed packets themselves - the kind used to mark seed rows in the garden.
Here you can see that the pocket is only 1/4 inch deep. Actually there is plenty of room to for two packets of seeds.
The card is complete with a piece of ephemera or journaling card. This is a great place to add a handwritten sentiment and sign the card. Inspired by: Gloria Stengel.

ReplyDeleteI totally love this Sharon! So much pretty detail and such a clever way to gift a packet or two or seeds. You really captured a garden there as well!
ReplyDeleteI removed your first link up which you'd obviously done in error. Mr Linky usually throws a hissy fit if you try to link a second time - even with a different URL, he must like you :) Mind you, I love those two cards as well!
