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.
