How To Make A Pocket

Do you remember a few weeks ago Kirstin sent me a card with a check in and I loved it so much, I posted it, then I loved the idea so much I made it with my stamp club?

Here are some pictures to show you how to do the same:

Step 1. Cut your card to the height you want the finished card to be, then times that measurement by three and cut the card to that length. Next score that same distance in from both ends. You should now have three equally scored sections.

Step 2. Score corner to corner on the center square and fold as shown above and below.

Step 3. Fold the card as shown below. The card will now feel like it is upside down, so just turn it so it looks like the second picture and it will look right. Once you are happy with it, add adhesive - remember, where the pocket is, you just need to add adhesive down the edge, so that you can slide your check, money, recipe or greeting into the pocket.



Now you can just decorate the front however you wish. Thanks again Kirstin for such a fabulous treat.
