I love how the plum and olive really pop out on this--probably because of the white background! This is a nice clean idea! TFS!

I use a 6 3/4 envelope (I bought the envelopes at staples or at office max) lick and seal shut the the envelope ..I then stamped the leaves from petal prints and cut the top off at 2" or 2 1/2" then crimped the bottom half of envelope . put the flower seeds inside and then I stamped the top of envelope with many thanks stamp from ( all year cheer)... The idea is when you crimp the bottom half of your envelope the bottom part of envelope will shrink after you have crimped it, and the top should slide right over the bottom making a perfect fit... the 6 3/4 size envelope is perfect for the flower seeds Glad you like it and hope this helps
enjoy!!

OH yea when you crimp the bottom you will want to put the envelope in the crimper long ways ( on its side ) ... meaning you will want your crimped lines going from top to bottom( insert into crimper on the side DO NOT insert into crimper from top or bottom, because this will not shrink the bottom enough and your top part will NOT fit ) SO crimp starting on the side of bottom.. just a little tip I forgot to mention.. You will know if you done it right when the top fits over the bottom :-)
