How to Make Garden Seed Paper Cards
If a special occasion is coming up for someone who enjoys gardening, make a card for her with a garden-seed theme. The card front is decorated with a picture cut from the front of a seed packet and is embellished with the seeds that were in the packet. The inside of the card is left blank so you can write a personal note and use the card for nearly any occasion. The finished card will fit nicely inside a size A1 invitation envelope, which is 3 5/8 by 5 1/8 inches. After creating the card, tuck an unopened seed package inside for an extra-special touch.

Tips & Warnings
For a different look on the front of the card, cut out small pictures from several seed packets and create a collage. The glued seeds will probably not be usable. Including a packet of the seeds will give the gardener something to grow in the coming season.
