These pouches are super easy to assemble and along with the little card, we included little seed packets and planting instructions for the recipient. These pouches/pockets are also the perfect size for gift cards!
THANKS SO MUCH SEED POUCH
CASED AMY KOENDERS
HOW TO CREATE & ASSEMBLE:
- Lay the “pocket” die on your (6” x 6”) piece of DSP, so you know where to stamp the design that will be on the front of your pocket.
- Stamp the design. Outside “frame” in Espresso and then the them in Olive inside the frame.
- Run this through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Fold at the score lines. First folding in the larger “flaps”and adhering them closed.
- Fold up the smallest “flap” and adhere closed. (Forming a pocket) Set aside.
- On your (1 1/2” x 2 1/2”) piece of Blackberry cardstock, stamp your sentiment in VersaMark® then sprinkle with white embossing powder and heat with the heat tool. Once it has set for a minute, run it through the die cut machine. (Note that the sentiment I used is part of a stamp so I covered the words I didn’t want with post it tape, inked the pad, removed the tape and THEN stamped. ) Set aside.
- Take your small (2 1/4” x 7 scored @ 3 1/2”) note card, fold at the score line. Stamp the images on the front
- Stamp an extra image of the plant on the small scrap of white cardstock in either old Olive or in Lost Lagoon; die cut it out and adhere it either to the front of the little note or the front of the pocket. (I adhered to both so that you could see each.) If you want to do both, I have extra white scraps to do it.
- Adhere the die cut with the sentiment using dimensionals across the lower part of the plant. Adhere a little dragonfly to embellish.
- With a scrap of the same color cardstock as the sentiment (Blackberry Bliss) die cut the circles for the “buttons”.
- On the back of one of these circles adhere a mini dimensional. Peel off the other side of the dimensional and adhere one end of the linen thread to it then adhere it to the loose flap of the pocket. Pinch it tight to make sure it sticks well. You may want to add a little drop of liquid glue to ensure a secure stick.
- Take the other circle and adhere a mini dimensional to it then adhere it to the pocket about 1/4” inch below the one on the flap. Secure then wrap linen thread around the two like a figure 8 and trim off any excess thread.
- Place your plastic envelope with the seeds in it inside your notecard then slide it into the pocket. Growing instructions are also provided.
