Its the Waltzing Mouse Stamps blog party today so I thought it was about time I did some papercrafting. The theme is "New Beginnings" and what could be more suitable than a packet of seeds.
I've offered to make wedding favours for a work colleague who is getting married in October and have been toying with the idea of seed packets - they are all over Pinterest and I love the idea. I don't think the favours have been upon decided yet but lottery tickets were mentioned and seed packets would be suitable for those too.
Here are a few I've been playing with today using Waltzing Mouse stamps. I used a template I found on line and stamped using colours I associate with Provence to go with the France themed stamp set - blue, green and yellow. But I wish my photos were more Provence-like - its such a dull day today I just couldn't make them look sunny!
I've got the seed packet bug now and have a few more ideas I want to try for birthdays coming up next month. These packets are the perfect size for gift cards - something I like to give those hard to buy for teens.
Supplies: Waltzing Mouse Stamps - French Country, Nordic Spring; PTI Year of Flowers (sentiment); PTI Oval Layers die collection
Oh these are fantastic seed packets! I think my favorite is the Bon Appetit one! Love the fun background and the sweet colored flower with the label. But who can resist the Nordic Spring one with the sweet birds and perfect sentiment? Can't look past the lovely wide pattern stripe that you colored so beautifully either! Ohhh, your friend is going to have such a hard decision ;)!!
