Today’s card is a Pocket Fun Fold and it’s easy! The base of the card is one piece of 5 ½” x 8 ½” card stock scored at 2 ½” and 6 ½”. That’s it! Fold along both score lines to the center of the card. The smaller 2” section will form the pocket of the card. You will need to use a strong, narrow adhesive like Stampin’ Up!’s Tear & Tape close to the edges of the cardstock so that you have room for the card insert. Once you have the card base formed you will notice that closed card is only 5 ½” x 4” instead of the usual 5 ½” x 4 ¼”. This is because the larger flap overlaps the pocket portion of the card.
To decorate the card you need to pieces of coordinating designer paper. The larger piece is 5 ¼” x 2 ¼”. The smaller piece is 5 ¼” x 1 ¾”. I used the Abstract Beauty Designer Series Paper on my card. I love the black and gold together. The flowers on my focal point were punched using the Strawberry Builder Punch. The centers were punched with a ¼” Circle Punch (retired).
The gold foil portion of the card insert is 4 ¾” x 3 ¾”. The Basic White portion of the insert is 4 ½”x 3 ½”. Both sentiments that I used on my card are from the Peaceful Moments stamp set.
Fun and simple. My kind of fun fold! I hope you’ve enjoyed today’s card! Have a great day. Take care and Happy Stamping!
