Great tutorial, hope this goes viral! Just saw your post today, but several months ago I tried doing seed packets with brown paper bags cut into standard letter size, and they worked great! It was a nice ‘soft grunge’ effect, but I didn’t set the print quality to high as you recommend, so the design was a bit muted (the porous paper really does suck up ink). Still really loved the effect. And this is brilliant to do seed packets as business cards.

I also rarely bring home paper bags anymore as I have boatloads of reusable bags. But I still have a pretty good sized stash of brown paper, and it sure beats paying for high end specialty ‘textured’ paper (or sending paper to the landfill!)

Great idea. Now I am thinking of other ways to use. Blessings.

Such a great idea! We were looking for a customizable seed packet idea to accompany a children’s book about gardening that my high school is putting out, and this fit the bill perfectly!
I use a Mac, and have had some issues running GIMP, but recently found a great free program called Seashore that is very similar, but less well-known.
