A Magic Seed Packet

Who doesn't like a little magic? Today we share this fun interactive card from Deb Felts. She created a seed packet with window opening. On first glance, the floral image is merely stamped in black. Pull up the tab and you see a beautifully colored version of the floral for the seeds enclosed. Super fun!

Both sets Deb used are featured this week as our Product of the Week at 20% OFF! Read all the sale details at the end of this post.

Such a pretty seed packet - just love it!

Make note of the tab on top.

Vintage Peony (floral)

Vintage Seed Packet (seed packet with die)

Ink Drops Organic (designer paper)

1.25" Silk Ribbon

Pearls

Pull that tab and it reveals the colored peony - magic!!!

Just a closer look.

And this is the beautifully coordinated inside.

Thanks so much, Deb, for this fun card!

Blue Peony

One thing I love about card making is the ability to use our artistic license to create whatever we want - and today Esther Asbury shares a lovely blue peony she created - STUNNING!!! This is a simple make, which makes it even more fun!

A Beautiful Peony Seed Packet

Hello to all from a very, very HOT Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Heat like this doesn't hit us too often, but when it does, it sure knocks us fair weathered souls off our feet - me especially! So the best place to be is inside, where most of us do NOT have central air, but very, very grateful for a kitchen window A/C unit! 

I am, however, feeling a breath of fresh air from the card Karen Letchworth is sharing with us today using sets we are featuring this week as our Product of the Week at 20% OFF! Be sure to check out all the details near the end of this post.

Isn't this just absolutely STUNNING in a simple, vintage theme.

Vintage Peony (floral, sentiment)

Vintage Seed Packet (seed packet background with die cut opening)

Fishtail Sentiment Banners (to cut sentiment)

A lovely bow accent using:

Seam Binding

Twine

Small Packaged Floral

Thank you so much, Karen, for this absolutley gorgeous floral card!
