DDCC #65: All in your pocket

Hi everyone,
we would like to thank everyone who entered our last challenge.
We loved visiting your blogs and see all the beautifull card with felt on it.
The winner of the cute Bildmalarna Stamp is.....
Congratulations!!!!
Please send Karin a email with your addy so the stamp can be send over.

And now for our new challenge...
This weeks challenge is created by our very talented Monica.
She wants you to create a pocket card following the next instructions
(I've added values in cm's between parenthesis)



1. Cut a piece of cardstock at 6 1/2" x 8 1/2" (16x23cm) 
2. Score at 4 1/4" (in half) (11,5cm) 
3. Turn cardstock and score at 1/2" at both sides (1cm) 
4. On one side of your card cut off the 1/2" scored lines
5. On the others side of your card (which will be the front side) cut off the angles next to the center scored line, to make the folding look better
6. Fold the scored 1/2" lines
7. Cut 1" off of the front. That is where the scored lines are (2,5cm) 
8. Punch out half a circle from the top. Not in the center (unless you like that better of course) but a little more to the side.
9. Fold the 1/2" tabs in, add some adhesive on them and just seal it up

Now you have finished the basics of the pocket. That was fun, right? Let's go on.

10. Cut a piece of a different but matching color cardstock at 3" x 5 1/4" (9x13,5cm) 
11. Now create a tab. Of course there are more ways to do this. I'll just describe one way. Punch a scalloped circel (which will propably measure about 2"), punch a 1 3/8 " circle, punch a 1 1/4" circle and finally punch a 1" circle out of a (stamped) image. Layer and adhere all together (scallop about 5cm, circles: 3,5cm, 3cm, 2,5cm) 
12. Slide the 3" x 5 1/4" cardstock into the pocket. Top of this cardstock must be at the same level as top of the front side of the pocket. You can see this cardstock in the scallop you created at step 8
13. Put a dimensional on the cardstock that shows through the scallop and adhere the tab on top of it. Like this you can pull out the card really easy. And doesn't it look nice?

Yeah! You have finished the whole lot, so now it's time to decorate. For instance, you could stamp a sentiment on the hidden card or just write down your own wishes. It's up to you now. Use all your imagination to make the best of it. The sky's the limit, they say.

Challenge #59: a sketch

Goodmorning everyone,
We would like to thank everyone that entered our Christmas in August Challenge. We loved visiting your blogs and see all the fabulous cards you created. Great to see that all of you have made an early start with your christmas cards.
The winner of the Christmas Background Stamp from Magnolia is......
Congratulations!!!
Please send Karin a email with your addy so the stamp can be send over.
Before we show you the next challenge we have an announcement for all of you.
For the past 2 months we have been posting a new challenge once every 2 weeks. We told that in September we would go back to posting a challenge once a week.
But to give everyone a little bit of breathing space (for the DT-Members and everyone entering our challenges) we decided that we keep posting a new challenge once every 2 weeks from now. Gives us, the DT-Members a little bit more time for other things, and we think that with all the challenges that are posted everywhere it will give you a little bit more time to enter one of our challenges.
Now for this weeks challenge. Wilma created a fabulous sketch for you to follow. You can rotate, adjust sizes etc as you please.


This weeks sponsor is.....

Gertjan van de Sar just started a cute webshop with all kind of fabulous cardmaking suppplies, and he kindly donated this gorgeous brandnew Belles 'n Whistles stamp.
