Ho preparato una bustina porta-semi usando una fustella Sizzix.
Il timbro by Stampendous l'ho ricevuto in regalo da Mia l'anno scorso (GRAZIE!) e non lo avevo ancora usato. Non è delizioso? 😊 L'ho timbrato con il Memento nero su entrambi i lati della bustina e l'ho colorato con le matite; per lo sfondo ho usato i Distress Inks. Ho colorato in modo diverso i due lati della bustina porta semi .
Edit: siccome ho visto che c'è molto interesse per la Luffa, aggiungo qualche informazione. Ha bisogno di un clima molto caldo, altrimenti non matura (la maturazione avviene verso ottobre / novembre); è una pianta annuale, rampicante e molto invadente: si avvinghia a qualsiasi cosa e nel giro di poche ore allunga i suoi viticci ancorandosi saldamente. Dubito fortemente che possa crescere in Inghilterra, ma sicuramente non ci sono problemi a Malta, in Grecia, in Spagna e nel sud d'Italia. Le zucche quando sono ancora piccole sono commestibili, ma il gusto non è dei migliori 😕 e sono un po' viscide. Qui sotto le foto della zucca seccata e della spugna che se ne ricava dopo averla sbucciata e tolto i semi.
Per chi volesse saperne di più, ci sono molte informazioni in rete.

Well this is a great little gift to give to someone! I am pleased that you harvested your own seeds for this wonderful plant and are sharing them with a little gift package! The bears are colored so well and look like they're having fun in the garden too but lucky you to have these ancient seeds to work with! This is such an interesting plant and story to go along with your creation! A very thoughtful and useful gift!
RispondiEliminaYour little seed packet with the unusual seeds is wonderful. What a unique gift for someone special. The Gruffies are all ready to help with the planting too. I do miss the Gruffies, as they aren't making them anymore.Thanks for sharing your make with us and joining the fun at the House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge.

Mattina Alice,
RispondiEliminaHai realizzato una tasca regalo così adorabile usando i francobolli House Mouse ed è interessante leggere i semi all'interno. Siamo stati in Egitto alcune volte e hanno molti alberi che sono insoliti per la nostra parte del mondo, quindi forse abbiamo visto alberi di Luffa, chissà.
È un regalo diverso e speciale per la tua amica e sono sicuro che apprezzerà davvero tutto lo sforzo necessario per realizzarlo.
Meno 4 qui stamattina e molto bianco.

Di nuovo io Alice, ho dimenticato di ringraziarti per aver condiviso la tua bella creazione con noi Stamping Sensations. E ovviamente non è House Mouse, mi sembra di vedere tutte le immagini carine di Stampendous sotto quello stendardo!

What a fabulous gift! I am definitely going to look into getting some of these seeds, I live in Malta so I am sure it would grow well here.
RispondiEliminaThe image is adorable and I love the whole seed sachet idea! Very Well Done! :-)
Thanks for joining us on the House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge

No....
RispondiEliminaVabbè......
Ma che figata questa bustina porta semi!!!!! CARINISSIMA!!!
Anni fa ho fatto una card simile ma ho messo dei semplicissimi semi di fiori....
Ho sempre sentito parlare di questa pianta e quasi quasi mi informo se dove abito riesco a coltivarla.
Mi hai dato una grande idea!!!!
Kisssssssssssssssss
What a nice idea to make your own seed packets and use your own seeds to fil them with. I bought packets of sunflower seeds to grow last year and never got around to planting so i really must this year. hugs Mrs A.
RispondiEliminaWhat a great image to go with your seed pack. It is colored beautifully too. Thanks for the luffa information. I have used these sponges before and it was interesting to know where they come from. Thanks for sharing at HMFMC. xx
RispondiEliminaSo cute Alice. Beautifully coloured and a lovely gift for someone too.
RispondiEliminaHugs

Such a lovely idea and beautifully executed. Who isn't going to love receiving that little package. Thanks for sharing the info about Luffas too. I used to have one many years ago but have never tried to grow them. Happy Friday xx
RispondiEliminaCute and fun image. Beautiful colouring. A cool project gift to give away.
RispondiEliminaNever heard of Luffa gourd before, but looks interesting.
A super sweet image and your box looks great. Very interesting about the luffa and I remember us having one when I was a child. Wishing you a happy weekend x
RispondiEliminaA lovely gift idea! Your coloring is expertly done, their furs turned out looking so realistic, well done! What an awesome plant. Never heard of it before.
RispondiEliminaWhat a wonderful project Alice! I love the gardening bears image and how you used it to decorate your seed sachet. What a sweet present this will make for someone! Thanks for all the info about the Luffa gourd plant too. I'm in the UK so it doesn't seem likely that I'll be growing this heat loving plant but it's good to know about it. Vicky x
RispondiEliminaHello Alice, what a lovely idea to make your own packet for the seeds, and I love the stamped image you've chosen.
RispondiEliminaAn interesting plant, wouldn't grow in Scotland though. lol, Kate x
Mamma! C'è sempre da imparare. Ottima idea regalo questo bel portasemi♥️
RispondiEliminaBeautiful box, Alice! I am really glad to see you using this stamp. I did not know luffa is a plant. I thought is was a sea plant, like sponges. Thank you for the information.
RispondiEliminaAnd thank you so much for entering our challenge at House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge with this lovely creation. Looking forward to see you again next challenge.
