	Critter Seed Cards You don't have to be a gardener to enjoy creating these whimsical critter cards. Each one is more than just a card; it's part gift as well, and would be the perfect choice to send to your favorite gardener this spring. Handmade paper is first imbued with flower or vegetable seeds, then cut into circles and adhered to the card front. The recipient plants the circle and then watches it grow into whatever plant you have chosen. A gift card that truly keeps giving! Click here for instructions Provided by Paper Creations

	Tips & Techniques Scrappers are always on the lookout for innovative techniques to spark creativity and expand their repertoire of artistic skills. Many of these techniques are “cutting edge” or “high tech” involving a computer or a newly formulated material, but history also provides a bounty of “time tested” techniques that look as spectacular today as they did upon conception.
