TUTORIAL TIME WITH SPEEDY TV #59

LOTS OF PHOTOS ON THIS POST!

 

Are you happy to see Friday, I know I sure am! 

Today our TTSTV Challenge is  brought to us by Jane Chambers.  It is to make a Hanging Treat Holder 

 Her easy to follow Tutorial is Here.

Using some Bazzill paper I cut out my base according    

 to her tutorial  and used some Cosmos Criket dp to

 embellish it  and a border punch for the top edge.
. I made mine a little seed holder to

 give to a friend who wants to try her hand at 

gardening this fall. I save seeds yearly so decided to

 share some with her. Marks Finest Paper's a Heinrich Co has the perfect stamp for this occasion.  The Seed Packet Stamp Set was just the ticket. I used the Seed Packet image to make my own seed packages. I have a little tutorial to show you how I did it. I used a variety of

 images for the seed packets, the peas and tomato images

 are also from the Seed Packet Set. The peppers are 

from the Some Like It Hot Set and the Basil is the palm 

leaves from the I Need A Vacation Set, had to be 

a little creative there lol!

The first thing I did was to measure the image double plus 1 inch  for the length and add 1/4 inch to each side. I then stamped and cut it out.

 

 Using my score board I rand a score line the length of the paper along side the image. I also ran a score line across the paper at top and bottom of image.

Next step was to cut along the score line on the blank end up to the score line crossing at the bottom of the image. Next I cut along the score line from the top of paper down to the score line across top of image. Then cut away that piece. I also cut away a little from each side to form more of a tob closure for the back of the packet.

This is what it looks like when all the pieces are cut away and ready to put together.

I ran glue along the little quarter inch scored sides, folded the bottom up and then

folded over the little edges to form the packet to put the seeds in. It then looks 

like this on the back side.

Here they are with the images on the front and ready to be filled with the seeds.The peas and daisy I stamped directly onto the packet, the others I stamped, cut out and attached. There was not a daisy or basil stamp so I stamped  Seeds at the top and just wrote those on the packet.

Now here is my little box filled with the little packets of seeds to start the garden.

I will add a few more goodies but must wait to go to town to get them. Also

will give her a bag of my compost to get them started in.

I also added a couple rolled flowers and a die cuts all from Spellbinders.

Hope you will come join in the fun this week.
