And now for our new challenge...
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.

I must apologize for not having the pocket card, I had trouble after trouble so anyway, here is my creation using this super cute digi image.
We would love to see your version of this pocketcard.
Please leave a comment on this post untill Wednesday Dec. 2nd, with a direct link to your card so we can come over to visit.
Happy Stamping,
Karin and the DT-Members
Hi there! Great samples from your DT - holy cow! But I have some questions. Please email me at stampedbym@gmail.com.... but is there possibly a pictorial tutorial on this? Scoring at 4 1/2 is not in half - 4 1/4 would be. I'm sorry, I'm a very visual person and the card samples are decorated so beautifully that I'm not seeing the basics of the card. I'd really like to try it - but it's not coming together for me in your directions. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteOK - I think I did it.
ReplyDeleteHere is my card
Very interesting challenge. You could take into account international participants and give measurements in centimeters too ;)
ReplyDeleteDT yours are great. I took me a few sheets of paper but I finally go it. Here is Card

Thanks for correcting me on the wrong measurement Melissa. I changed that at once!

Sinihilkka, I'm sorry. I assumed about all you crafters had those ruler guides with both cm's and inches. I'll try to get the cm's version in this post ASAP!
