Hello, Crafty Friends!
I’m thrilled to share a fantastic project with you today that was inspired by a project I saw created by Erica Cerwin: versatile pocket cards that are perfect for any occasion! Using the Iconic Imagery stamp set and coordinating dies, we’ll create a charming Fall version, and I’ll also show you how to adapt this design for birthdays and Christmas.
In this video tutorial, I’ll guide you through the process of layering Designer Series Paper and folding down one corner to create a handy pocket. The insert card features a convenient tab created with the Keeping Tabs punch, making it easy to slide in and out of the pocket. This tab shape is also available in a die for added versatility.
Why You’ll Love This Project:
- Versatility: These pocket cards are perfect for every occasion! Whether you want to send a heartfelt message, include a photo, or tuck in a gift card, this layout can be customized to suit your needs. With just a few adjustments, you can transform your Fall card into a birthday or Christmas masterpiece.
- Ease and Fun: The step-by-step instructions in the video make this project accessible and fun for all skill levels. You’ll enjoy the creative process while learning new techniques like layering, folding, and using punches and dies. Plus, the end result is a professional-looking card that will impress any recipient.
- Personal Touch: Handmade cards add a personal touch that store-bought cards simply can’t match. By creating your own pocket cards, you can tailor each one to the recipient’s taste and preferences, making your greeting even more special.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Prepare Your Materials: Gather your Designer Series Paper, cardstock, and embellishments.
- Create the Pocket: Layer your Designer Series Paper and fold down one corner to form the pocket.
- Make the Insert: Cut a piece of cardstock for the insert and use the Keeping Tabs punch to create the tab in the corner.
- Decorate: Use the Iconic Imagery stamp set and coordinating dies to add decorative elements to your card.
- Assemble: Attach the pocket to the card base and insert your decorated card with the tab.
