Special Reason Pocket Card

Sometimes you need a card that’s just a little special and different. I was inspired to create this design after I saw the Pretty Pocket Card Kits in the Sale-a-bration catalog. I loved the idea of a pocket card with an extra little window in it. I designed the card base, so it would only use a half sheet of card stock. I think you’ll love how this card comes together and I can see this design working with many other stamp sets. If you want to learn how to make it, just watch my 15-minute video above and then you can use my quick reference section below to make your own.

Quick Reference

  • Card Base: Start with an 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ piece of card stock. On the 8-1/2″ side, score at the 4″ and 8″ marks. Turn the card stock so that the skinny scored segment is at the top. Score at the 1/2″ mark. Then at the 4-1/2″ mark, score just until you reach the second scored line.
  • Windows: Use the 4th largest and smallest ovals from the Layering Ovals Framelits to cut windows in the card base.
  • Readying the pocket: Use the diagram below as a guide to cut away the unnecessary pieces from the card base.
  • Designer Series Paper Liner: Before adhering the pocket, line the inside back of the pocket with a 4″ x 5″ piece of designer series paper.
  • Insert: Cut a 3-3/4″ x 4-7/8″ piece of Whisper White card stock for the insert.
