A CARD WITH A POCKET + A VIDEO!

Today’s video is a fun card I think. It’s a Pocket Front card.

It’s a standard size card and with a little folding and scoring creates a pocket in the front. Just the size for a tea bag, Gift Card or even a small chocolate.

I have a video to show you how to make it but also have the measurements below for you so you can recreate your own.

Here is the card for you. We have some different angles so you get an idea of it.

I used the Tea Boutique Collection for this card. Quite an appropriate one to include a Tea Bag in the pocket.

Below is the view from the front with the card standing up. It can stand well just on the point.

Lying flat.

Inside. I added a piece of white card so there is room to write.

Check the video out below.

The original idea came from Splitcoaststampers website -> HERE.

CREATE YOUR OWN POCKET FRONT CARD

Follow along with the video to see the scoring and folding of the card.

Base card 14.8cm x 21cm Score on the long side at 10.5cm

5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ Score on the long side at 4 1/4″

On the long side place the left hand edge at the 7.4cm or 2 3/4″ point on the Paper Trimmer. Mark in pencil at the little channel on the Trimmer. Alternatively use a ruler to measure in 7.4cm or 2 3/4″ from the left hand edge and mark the point.

Turn card clockwise 1/4 turn. Mark halfway on this side which will be 7.4cm or 2 3/4″.

Score an angled line from the centre mark on the short side to the mark on the long side. Repeat the angled line from the centre to the mark on the other long side.

Fold on the score lines and fold in at the angles. Adhere to 2 angled folds down with tape.

Cut Designer Series Paper to 10cm x 10cm 3 1/2″ x 3 1/2″.

Cut the piece at an angle from one corner to the other. Keep one triangle as a large piece. Cut the other triangle in 2 to have 2 half triangles.

Adhere the large piece to the front of the card.

White card for inside measures 14.4cm x 10.1cm 5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″.

Adhere the 2 smaller triangles on each of the bottom corners. Adhere the white card inside the base card.

Decorate as you wish to.

I hope you get to make one. Let me know how you go.

SWEET SATURDAY – WILD AND SWEET AND OCEAN FRONT!

Today for Sweet Saturday I wanted to share a well… sweet card. With Wild and Sweet.

As I was playing with it recently I thought it would be cool to add some more “vegetation”. I looked through my stamps and found the Oceanfront stamp set.

This card was one I stepped up a little from a class card recently.

Here is the card.

I also used the Fern 3D Embossing Folder, Sunprints Designer Series Paper, Sending Smiles Stamp Set, Blossoming Happiness Dies and Stylish Shapes Dies. Of course, finishing off with Pebbles Enamel Shapes.

Hope you like this sweet card.

See what you can pair together from your own stamp sets.

WEDNESDAY’S WOW! #137 – PRETTY POP-UPS!

WEDNESDAY’S WOW! #137 – Let’s look at some Pretty Pop-Ups. That is, Pop-Ups Dies!

I have to say I kept overlooking these dies and maybe you have too so let’s check them out. They are a different way of dies but they are – really pretty.

You will find the Pretty Pop-Ups Dies on page 173 on the Annual Catalague.

There are 10 dies in the Pretty Pop-Ups Dies set.  The dies include beautifully intricate butterflies, flowers, and greenery designs in circle, oval, and rectangle shapes. You can use the unique intricate designs and shapes as a centrepiece on your handmade projects or as a subtle texture or layer when not popped up.

Aren’t they beautiful?

You can see how they are used.

To lift the little Pop-Up sections you can use the spatula tip on the Take Your Pick Tool or you can use the Paper Piercer.

You can even colour some of the areas with the Stampin’ Blends.

And did you notice? Colour some white ribbon too and you have ribbon to match any project.

The cards can be so simple but they do create such an impact.

You can see the Pretty Pop-Ups Dies in my store -> HERE.

In Australia? You can shop in my store at the link just above. Please use the Host Code: 46HJZACA

Have a great day,
