Pocket Card - Technique Class

During my last technique class we had prepared a few Mother's Day related projects, one of them being this Happy Mother's Day pocket card.

I used a technique from Split Coast Stampers (Trifold Pocket Card):

Here is the individual pieces before assembled.

Products Used:

• Afternoon Tea Designer Series Paper (retired, but you can use any of your favorite designer series paper)
• Chocolate Chip Classic Ink
• Baroque Motifs stampset
• Chocolate Chip Double Stitched Ribbon
• Pretties Kit (large silk flower)
• Floral brads
• Chocolate Chip, Pretty in Pink and Blush Blossom re-inkers
• Whisper White cardstock
• SNAIL adhesive
• Pop-up Glue Dots

What I did:

1. Cut an 8 x 8-1/2 piece of designer series paper.
2. Scored it at 2-1/4 and 6-1/4.
3. Turn 90 degrees and then score at 2-1/2. See pieces pictured above.
4. Cut out the 2 bottom squares.
5. I used a round bowl to manually trace and cut the rounded edge at the top.
6. NOTE: Used the same round bowl to manually cut/curve the Whisper White and Chocolate Chip pieced used for the inside (for the greeting).
7. I then stamped some Baroque Swirls on the Whisper White, then adhered to the Chocolate Chip paper.
8. Then for the stip, I cut a 2-1/2 inch of Chocolate Chip cardstock, then a 2-1/4 inch piece of designer series paper and adhered to the Chocolate Chip. Wrapped about and trimmed.
9. Then wrap and cut/adhere the Chocolate Chip Double Stitched ribbon.
10. Then dyed the flower with the re-inkers and set aside to dry. Use a napkin to dry it faster.
11. Then use a flower brad thru both flowers (one dyed flower, one large silk flower).
12. Then adhere the flower to the ban using a Pop-up Glue Dot.
13. Fold the pocket card at the score marks and assemble all the pieces.

Happy Stamping!
