Fold both pieces of card stock in half at the the longest edge and set aside the one you want to use inside the card.

Make a 3-inch cut anywhere on the front of the card using your utility knife and ruler. Make sure the cut does not run off of the edge, because the seed packet may fall out.

Remove the cardboard from the inside of the card and place the piece of card stock that you set aside into the card. Place strips of double-sided tape between the sheets of card stock all the way around the edges to hold the sheets together.

Personalize your card with a written message after the glue has dried. Tie your length of raffia around your seed pocket into a decorative bow and slip the packet into the slit you created on the front of the card.
