Bloomin’ Handmade Greeting Cards You Can Plant

You’ve might have seen seed paper recently.  It is homemade paper with flower seeds in it.  When it is planted in the ground and given lots of TLC it will bloom into beautiful flowers you can enjoy.  Here is a tutorial for a project using seed paper.
First, you need to make the paper.

Valentine card ideas

My son wants to have some friends over to decorate some cookies for Valentine's day. I was trying to figure out something crafty to go along with the cookie decorating so we will also decorate some cards. Here goes the very basic how to. I will leave the embellishment with glitter, stamps, stickers, ribbon and doilies to you and the boys. However, I will warn you that this little party has very little to do with crafts and decorating but rather the FOOD ---they are 10. I will show you the final results later but if they look too crafty---like they really enjoyed this, I will have to block out their heads because they would not want anyone to know that they still like crafts. If they don't turn out we will know what I suspected all along was true -- it is all about the food!
You will need regular weight copy paper and card-stock to make these cards. First fold the regular weight copy paper in half.
