Many of you asked just HOW to make—> THIS <—Seeds of Love packet I had done.
I told you it was VERY simple, and now you will all get to see for yourself. These would be AWESOME Wedding or Shower favors! Easy to whip out, and they can be very inexpensive!
Now I seriously don’t have a day that goes by that I don’t use my Scor-Pal! No lie! If you read my blog you will see it is invaluable to me-that and my ATG Gun! LOL! Anyway let’s get to the template tutorial shall we?
Pretty Poppies seed packet coverlet
Supplies-Scor-Pal, terrific tape, Garden of Life, lemon tart cardstock, black cardstock, acetate, bazzill cardstock (flower), wasabi (leaf), black cardstock, butterfly punch by Martha Stewart, circle nestabilites, summer sunrise polka dot ribbon by PTI, various punches, The Paper Garden book.
Step 1
Cut cardstock to 4 X 11. Using your Scor-Pal Score at 1 and 6 (see how seed packet will easily fit)
Step 2
Choose die cut, and cut out, mid, lower portion of FRONT panel. See above photo. It is the panel the seeds are laying on.
(SEE NEXT PHOTO)
Step 3 OPTIONAL
OPTIONAL-then take larger nestability die, and JUST emboss border around cut out panel.
To JUST emboss-in your Cuttlebug-you take A plate, B plate, tan mats, cardstock, nestabilitily and then B plate.
Then it won’t cut.
This is what your panel will look like
Now you can choose which side you want to use on the front of your packet holder. I chose the opposite side to use as my front design.
Then use Scor-tool to bend score marks.
Step 4
Cut aceate layer 4 X 4, and adhere behind cut out, using terrific tape or redline tape (clear tape). Stamp if desired. I used Garden of Life for this sample. I bent the friends sentiment, to fit in the top half of the circle.
Apply a adhesive strip to the back panel, and place seed packet
Step 5
Fold closed. Secure with band of ribbon to tie shut. Then decorate as desired.
Since I used a Poppy Seed packet I am using my book The Paper Garden ( that and ALL the punches used in the book will soon be at All That Scraps!) to decorate the front of mine with Paper Poppy’s! If I don’t have an exact punch I try to improvise with what I do have. It’s all about creative liberty!
And that my friends is all there is to it! Just a very simple seed coverlet.
Hope you liked it. If you get to try it, send me a link! I’d love to see your version.
Till tomorrow.

Lauren, thanks for the tutorial! My oldest daughter is getting married in February and now if she asks, I’ve got an idea for favors!
I have a question. I keep seeing people say to just emboss with the nestabilites and I can not figure out how to emboss without cutting????? Can you please help, lol. I love this idea by the way, very fun.

This is just so cute. Thanks for sharing! 🙂
Super cute little gift! I agree, great for a wedding or bridal shower! Girl those flowers you created are awesome! Holy cow…is there a punch out there that you don’t own?? haha! Amazing work!
Great tutorial! The card is gorgeous with that flower on it! You are so generous for sharing all of your wonderful projects…I can’t wait to give this a try for all the gardeners in my life! Thank you so much!
What a quick, cute and clever idea! You make the mundane go to MARVELOUS! Thank you for sharing your talent with us!
This is REALLY neat. I love the idea of giving seed packets as little “presents”. Even those who do not garden, love it too.
My daughter bought some lipstick that comes in this neat package. It has little seeds packed into it. You plant it and it grows little flowers. Is that not amazing??!
thanks for the tutorial, too!
The seed package is so pretty.I ordered the book and it arrived yesterday. Good to know the punches will be available soon. Now that I have the book I will know which punches I want for my first order. Thanks for sharing Ann
Lauren this is so cute! Your flower is perfect with it. I have a feeling I might cave in and try and find the book and here I was thinking I could do away with some of my punches now that I have the Nestabilities. I guess I would just be replacing them with something different. I did get the Scor-Pal thanks to you and I love it! Great recommendation! I have the Scor-It also and never use it because it is so heavy and the Scor-Pal is light weight and I have it sitting in it’s tote right next to me.
(…Renee now adds cool punches to her wish/want/need list…)
Love the seed package card. It’s too cute! The posibilities are endless with this idea!
I really like the embossing with the Nesties around the cut out circle.
Great job!
Hugs!
AWESOME. I love these Lauren…totally adorable 🙂 Thanks for sharing your instructions…a Scor-pal is SO on my list…maybe Mother’s Day or my B-day….we’ll see 🙂
Hope you have a terrific day!
GORGEOUS, Lauren! WOW, what an adorable gift idea!
Thank you so much for a TERRIFIC idea, Lauren!! The timing is so perfect, as my MIL just called and wanted me to design wedding shower invitations that she is hosting in a couple of weeks. Bride loves to garden so this is absolutely perfect. I don’t have that punch garden book but have a couple similar booklets from a stamp store in suburban Seattle that the same author had designed for. I’ll send you pictures of the finished product when I’m done. Thanks again for all the wonderful ideas you share with your readers. You are truly a talented and gifted artist.
Boy you sure are lovin those punched flowers! (and so are we). They look so lovely.
Thanks so much for sharing this project. I needed a little something I could send in the post and this idea is perfect.
What a clever gal you are!
WOw Lauren..I absolutely love this idea..Thanks for a fun project.
Wow . . . everything about this is just gorgeous. I love your paper-punched flower embellishment and the gentle colors. Just perfect. What a stunning idea.
Girl…You keep outdoing yourself!!! I swear this is such a cute gift! I think this would be perfect for some of my Amy’s baby showers which will be beginning soon! TFS!!

Love all your flower projects Lauren! I’m going to check out that book! Thanks for the wonderful inspiration – you are so unbelievably creative!
Great idea! Thanks for the instructions.
What a neat idea. I have a friend who is getting married in June and was thinking about doing strawberry jelly as favors…maybe she will change her mind when she sees this!
Thanks for the very clear directions! It is really very pretty!
What a clever & lovely idea, Lauren! And super tutorial. TFS!
Fabulous idea.
Will make some for table favors at my next women’s event.
Just one question…
How do you “bend a sentiment o fit a circle”?
Cool idea for the seed packet. Does this mean Christine is going to be carrying the book? If so, she’d better have quite a few in stock to begin with.
This is fantastic! Thanks for sharing. Makes a wonderful yet simple gift.
What a neat idea for the seed packets.
You totally amaze me with all your wonderful ideas.

Your work is SOOOOOOO magnificent and makes me sooooo happy. I feel like a puppy who’s happy to see it’s owner come home…if I had a tail it would be awaggin’ and I’d probably wet the floor, LOL!!! This is a FABULOUS project. I have a granddaughter getting married and this is the idea of ideas! TFS and the tutorial. TFS the very clear instructions and how to use the Nestability with Cuttlebug, simply A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!!!!!!!!! You have also shown me why I NEED the Score-Pal, teehee.
