Farmhouse Christmas Pocket Card

This is just the first of many projects I have planned for Farmhouse Christmas.  All of the images in this set are as cute as can be but I'm especially fond of the old-fashioned truck.


These are pocket cards made to hold a gift card.  My embellishments are made using die-cuts, but the basic card shape can be made with just a scoreboard.  Each of these cards is a little different, but the basic directions are the same for each.


The gift card is adhered with 2 glue dots.


There's room on the back of the note card for a personal note.  

To begin, you'll need an 11" x 4-1/4" piece of Cherry Cobbler cardstock (1/2 sheet).  Score the short edge as shown here:


Now turn the cardstock and score on the long edge as shown here:


Next, trim away the 3/8" scored edge except for the tabs as shown below.  Cut angles on the tabs for a better fit and round all four corners.



These are the additional pieces you will need - Thick Whisper White for the inside note, and contrasting designer papers to decorate the pocket.  Round the corners on the inside note and the pocket flap.


Adhere designer paper to the pocket flap using Snail adhesive.


Turn the cardstock over and adhere the larger piece of designer paper to the front of the pocket.  Use Tear & Tape (double-sided tape adhesive) on the tabs, which will fold to the inside.


Fold all the scorelines and assemble the pocket, tabs folding to the inside. The 2 strips of Tear & Tape are all that's needed to hold it together.  


The Cherry Cobbler & Gray Granite colors give this project a masculine flair.  I hope you like it!

Daisy Delight Pocket Card

Hi, friends!

Have you made your wish list from the new Stampin' Up catalog yet?  Mine is pretty long...I'm having a lot of fun with my Daisy Delight Bundle while I decide what to buy next.  Today I made a sweet little pocket card with it!


Isn't that cute?  The base of this card is made from Pear Pizzazz cardstock.  The designer paper on the pocket flap is part of the Delightful Daisy Designer Series Paper.  

To make this card, start with a piece of 4-1/4" x 11" cardstock.  Score the long side at 1-1/4" & 5-1/2".  Score the short side at 3/8" & 3-7/8".  Trim the 3/8" sides.  Your cardstock should look like this:



Fold into a pocket.  The designer paper is 1-1/4" x 3-1/2".  Adhere to top flap and round corners on flap and top of card.  Stamp greeting using Old Olive ink.   Assemble card using Tear & Tape Adhesive or Fast Fuse on the 3/8" tabs.


Wrap a piece of Berry Burst 1/2" Finely Woven Ribbon around the pocket just below the flap and secure with Snail adhesive.  Place the seam so that it will be covered by the daisy.   Stamp 2 daisies in Berry Burst ink on Berry Burst cardstock.  Punch with the Daisy Delight punch and adhere together using a drop of Multipurpose Liquid Glue in the center of the daisy.  Roll the petals around a pencil to give them shape, and adhere to the card front with one Stampin' Dimensional.  Let the daisy hang off the side of the card by about 1/2".  The center is embellished with a Clear Faceted Gem.  On a scrap of Whisper White cardstock, stamp 2 leaves in Old Olive and one in Pear Pizzazz.  Stamp each outline in Memento Black.  You'll have to fussy-cut these - it's not hard! Tuck leaves under the daisy and adhere with Glue Dots.


The inside is Whisper White, stamped in Berry Burst.  Round the top corners.


Don't forget to embellish the envelope.  It's like a preview of the main event - your beautiful work of art!
