Fancy Fold Pocket Card

Hi stampers, welcome! Today I have a beautiful pocket card to share with you.

I followed Connie Stewart's tutorial for the "Easiest Pocket Card Ever". Here are the dimensions you'll need to create it:

Designer Paper 6" x 9-1/4" for the pocket
Designer Paper 1-1/2" x 9-1/2" for the band
Designer Paper 1/2" x 5" for the inside
Colored cardstock 4-1/8" x 5-3/8"
Whisper White cardstock 3-3/4" x 5"

Score the Designer Paper at 5/8" on the short side. Rotate & score at 2-3/4" & 7" on the long side. On the 5/8" scoreline, cut away the 2 outside sections leaving a tab in the middle. This folds up to create the bottom of the pocket.

The two magnolia blossoms aren't stamped, but cut from the Designer Paper pack. What's even better is that there's a die to cut them. I love that!

I found myself with a stack of Petal Pink ovals left over from the Interlocking Gatefold Card I made last week which were the perfect size for this greeting. "Thinking of You" is embossed with my favorite Copper Embossing Powder.

The notch is punched with a Circle Punch. I used a 2" punch but really any size you have would work fine. The inside card slides out easily.

Just the right size for a short & sweet note!

This card is gorgeous using the Magnolia Lane Designer Paper, and a great way to use your stash of beautiful papers. I hope you'll try it!

Sailing Home Thank You Card

Hi stampers, welcome to my blog!

Just a quick share of my latest card created from the Sailing Home Bundle -

I love the crisp, clean look of this card. I CASE'd this from Narelle Farrugia with just a couple of minor changes.

The detail on these stamps is fabulous. The lighthouse is stamped in Night of Navy, the anchor in Basic Gray, and the compass in Soft Suede. The lighthouse & anchor are raised up with Stampin' Dimensionals. The blue & white stripes are from the coordinating designer paper.

Masculine Birthday Card - A Good Man

Hi stampers, welcome to my blog! Let's face it, masculine cards can be blah....muted colors and a definite lack of glitter, lol. This fun Joy Fold jazzes this card up just enough:

This card opens to the right & left with plenty of room to write your personal message...

The Soft Suede cardstock is cut 8-1/2 x 5-1/2", scored on the long side at 2-1/8" & 4-1/4". The smaller inside is cut from Mossy Meadow cardstock, 4-3/4" x 3-3/4". Score the long side at 2-3/8". The designer papers are cut at 1-7/8" x 5-1/4" (2 pieces) and 4" x 5-1/4" (1 piece). The 2 Terracotta Tile pieces are cut from the same piece of 6" x 6" DSP - the smaller piece is the flip side of the larger piece.

Soft Suede

Terracotta Tile

Mossy Meadow

The relaxing guy is so easy to color with Bronze, Ivory, Light Cajun Craze & Light Mossy Meadow. I always add some Light Pool Party or Light Smoky Slate to ground images like this. The stitching on the rectangles and circles adds so much interest to this card!

The circle on the card front has a purpose...when the corner of the relaxing guy is tucked under it, the card stays closed. It's attached with 3 Stampin' Dimensionals.

Did you know...

If your stitched shapes tend to stick when you cut them, a piece of waxed paper placed between the die and the cardstock before cutting will make them pop out of the die effortlessly. A pair of good tweezers will pull the waxed paper off the cardstock easily.

I hope you're having a good day! Click on any of the links below to purchase supplies for this card from me. Every purchase helps support my blog and I appreciate it!

Bonus Days are the entire month of July...

Every purchase of $50 or more before tax & shipping earns you a $5 coupon to use in August!
