Kaart- seemnepakiga

What you'll need:

  • Green cardstock cut to 5 ½" x 8 1/2"
  • White cardstock cut to 5 1/4" x 3 ¾"
  • One orange envelope (new or used)
  • One yellow envelope (new or used)
  • Green ribbon, about 14" long
  • Adhesive such as double-sided sticky tape, glue stick, liquid glue or mini glue dots
  • Paper trimmer or scissors
  • Craft scissors with scalloped edge

How to make it:

  1. Fold green cardstock in half.
  2. Glue white cardstock to front of green cardstock.
  3. Use the craft scissors to snip two corners from the yellow envelope and two corners from the orange envelope. The corners should be between 1" and 1 ½".
  4. Fit the envelope corners onto the corners of the seed package.
  5. With the seed package still in the corners, glue the envelope corners to the white cardstock.
  6. Tie the ribbon around the spine of the card.
  7. Write, stamp or glue your Mother's Day greeting inside.

Tips:

  • Instead of a seed package, you can use a gift card, special photo or individually wrapped packed of mom's favorite tea.
  • If the price is displayed on the front of the seed package, place a small sticker over it.
  • Choose paper colors that complement the seed package colors.
  • This is a wonderful and easy way to use old envelopes. Or, stop in at a store with a large card display and ask if they have unwanted envelopes. Sometimes customers prefer a plain white envelope and leave the bright ones behind (this orange envelope was supposed to go with a Halloween card.)
