Christmas Card #4 - Holiday Pocket Card Too

Here's the other pocket card I made.  The difference between the two is the length of the front panel.  See the first one HERE.  On this card I kept the front panel long to accommodate the main image and left out the sentiment.  Speaking of image, do you think this will pass for a Christmas tree?  When I was going through my dies, I saw this one from the Foliage dies set by Spellbinders and I thought it would work as a tree.

The panel was dry embossed with Stampin' Up's Perfect Polka Dots folder.   I selected a pattern from Stampin'Up Festival of Prints Designer Paper Stack and die cut the "tree".  I love the look of the tree and you'll definitely see more of those in future posts.  I punched a star from a scrap of red Glimmer Paper.  Added my favorite ribbon and some blings.  How easy is that?

Here's another angle with a peek of the inside.

Okay, I'll stop with the gift card holders now.  I think we have enough ideas on that subject.  I will post a picture recap of all the gift card holders I've done.

Stay tuned for Christmas/Holiday card #5, I'm seeing snow, lots of snow.  Until then ............. Cheers!!!


Supplies:  Cardstocks, glimmer paper, embossing folder and star punch are from Stampin'Up.  Dies are from Spellbinders.  Blings are from Hero Arts.

Christmas Card #3 - Holiday Pocket Cards

Here's another pocket card for you and it's oh so easy!

You need a 4.25" x 11" cardstock.  Score at 1.50" and 7" mark on a score board.  If you don't have a score board, score one end at 1.50" and turn the cardstock to the other end and score at 4".  Fold on the score lines, use bone folder to burnish the folds.  The two ends should meet with no gap in between and the folded card should measure 4.25" x 5.50" which is a standard A2 card.  The folded bottom becomes the pocket, seal the sides only.

This is how the scores should look like.

This is the what the folded card should look like.

Embellish the front and inside of your card and you're done.  Isn't it easy?

On my first sample, I used the Nestled Poinsettia from Spellbinders Shapeablities to die cut the poinsettia.  I  also dry embossed the front panel with Stampin' Up's Petals-A-Plenty embossing folder.  Then I added a sentiment to the bottom panel.

What is missing here?  Leaves!!!  I will have to add leaves and upload another picture. 

UPDATE:  Here's the one with leaves!

Below is the inside and side view.

     

The pocket can hold cash or gift card or both!!!

Tomorrow I'll show you the other pocket card I created.  Until then......... Cheers!!!


Supplies:  Cardstocks, inks and embossing folder from Stampin'Up.  Dies from Spellbinders.
