I made this double pocket card for my friend Alison to give to her Mum for her 70th Birthday. She loves gardening so thought it only appropriate to add the seed packet and label. I found a great video tutorial which was so easy to follow here. Thank you Linda! I did change the dimensions to make the card slightly larger. I have also added a card to the back in co-ordinating card stock so the card can be stood up. I cut the letters on my Cricut Expression using the George cartridge. I cut on a cereal box first and then covered with matching paper to give the letters a chipboard effect. The tag is cinnamon scented and smells so yummy - thank you Heidi.
Have a great day!
Card detail:
Stamps: Hanglar Trädgårdsflicka & Hanglar Planteringskit
Medium: Prismacolor, Sansodor & Paper stumps, Sakura Stardust pen for a little bling!
Paper: K&Company Brenda Walton paper
Embellishment: Tag, Ribbons, Seed packet
Equipment: Cricut Expression using the George Cartridge, Swirl corners cut with die in cuttlebug, sentment printed from word.
