When we were in France in the Spring, Tom bought me some lavender. I dried it and used lavender oil to infuse it. I can put it in soap, throw it in the bath, or just use it for sachets, which is what I did here. I used mostly scraps to create the envelopes. I used an envelope from almost every cartridge that I had to try these out. I've made 20 so far and still have plenty of scraps and lavender to make more. I think I will toss them into Christmas presents and into a few of my own drawers. These are just a few.
Cartridges used here: Wedding Solutions, Plantin Schoolbook, Walk In My Garden,Paper Pups
and New Arrival
Fill with your favorite fragrance, poke holes in both sides. I tried to hide my holes under the flowers or in the pattern in the paper. I used some prima flowers but for the most part, I cut flowers from scraps using Walk In My Garden or Plantin' Schoolbook.
This is a very easy project and quick gift idea. I even made some for men that say, "My Socks Smell Good" no flowers on those, and more manly colors.
Hope you have a very fragrant day!

Neat idea! I love all your flowers too!
What a beautiful idea and project! My mom loves lavender. Maybe I will have to scraplift this idea and do something like this for her! Thank you for the wonderful inspiration Penny!
What a great idea. I have lavender in my back yard. I may have to give this a try.
You are so crafty!!

You're such a clever gal, Penny! Who would have ever thought to use the envies as sachets?! Beautiful job on these... love all the different papers!
Wow, what a clever idea!! They are beautiful Penny!!
How clever you are, I can't wait to try this, TFS!
Such a great idea - I have lots of lavender in my garden - going to leave it to dry off and then grab some in and have a go!
Thanks for the idea!
