Bright and Happy Pocket Card

This card front is a "pocket", formed by folding the corners in to meet in the middle.  I discovered this idea on www.splitcoaststampers.com but I couldn’t find a tutorial, so I investigated and have written one through my own trial and error!  It is a very versatile card front.  I’m using them for my RAK challenge during the month of March, combining it with the Pages Of The Heart’s March theme of bright colors, words and laughter!  They are bound to brighten someone’s day.

 

 

Supplies needed:

Card stock of choice, card size: 5 ½” x 4 ¼”,  plus 5 ¼” x ½’ strip

2 coordinating patterned papers (PP), 5 ¼” x 4”

Saying stamp

Other decorative stamps to go with your theme

Embellishments:  rickrack, punch art.

Mono-adhesive

 

 

Directions:

Adhere patterned papers together, wrong sides together.

 

Fold in left and right corners to meet in middle.

Stamp saying on ½” strip of cardstock.

 

Apply adhesive to lower edge of strip and adhere to “pocket”.  Trim corners to make even with sides of “pocket”.

 

Adhere “pocket” to card base.

 

Stamp with decorative stamps and use embellishments to finish the card.
