Spring Cards

I had a few minutes today to make some of my quick spring cards between other projects. This is a design I have used in the past to share seeds from my Chives:



This time I had saved seeds from a milkweed plant. So first I put a photo with a label on some seed packet templates and printed them:


After assembling the packets and filling them with seeds, I made the cards with some simple changes:



And lets not forget some coordinating envelopes:


Some might wonder why I would share seeds from a weed but you can read about my milkweed plant here. Maybe this year the caterpillars will survive to become more Monarch Butterflies! Anyway, I would love to share the joy of watching these butterflies with my friends. Even weeds can serve a purpose.

  1. What beautiful cards, envelopes and your milkweed seeds added. You just keep on going with so many wonderful things that you make. I better look for my chive seeds from last year from you. I wonder if they are still good. This was a good reminder.
