Winter Frost Double Pocket Card

I've been making Christmas papercrafts to the very last minute before we head home to see family tomorrow! I plan on sharing each and every one of them when we return!

Amongst all the Christmas cards, I made a special one for my coworker. We are a great team at work and she has become a good friend of mine, so I thought something unique would be most appropriate :)

I chose the double pocket fold for this card. It's quite simple really. I followed this tutorial on youtube and added my own creative touch. I chose the Winter Frost designer paper from Stampin up - this paper is gorgeous! (I've pretty much used all of it up this year!) Bermuday Bay, Coastal Cabana and Smokey Slate have become one of my favourite colour combos! Here's how it turned out:

 

 I finally made use of the chevron punch! I bought it quite some time ago with good intentions to use it... Months later, I pulled it out and have now used it on multiple projects. I love it! I think the rhinestones and the eyelet border really add some detail to this card front. Pull the tag out of the front pocket....

 

 

A simple tag with a little designer paper and adorable sentiment, and of course... rhinestones!

 

Let's take a look inside:

 

 

I simply added little ornaments hanging over the edge of the 2nd pocket. I filled this pocket with a tag from David's Tea filled with White Chocolate Frost tea (sounds delicious!) I pasted a small labels framelit to the space below the pocket so I had a spot to write my message.

 

I love how it turned out! And like I said earlier, this colour combo is fabulous!

 

This will be my last post until 2014! (I hope to be a bit more dedicated to my blog in the new year) :)

 

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

New KCRR Challenge #22

After a nice long break, we are back with a new KCRR challenge!

We have randomly chosen three items for today's challenge:

Jewelry Tag Punch
Fun-Folded Card

Pretty in Pink

 

This definitely got my creative juices flowing! I wanted to try a new card fold, so after some pinterest browsing, I came across a fun one -- the Double Pocket card. Click here for simple instructions by Patty Bennett. The nice thing about this card fold is that it's a great way to use up designer paper (you can use cardstock for the base as well).

I looked through my stock of DSP for Pretty in Pink and chose a piece from one of my favourite DSP collections - Tea for Two. I then chose the coordinating stamp set - Tea Shoppe and the card came together so nicely!
 

 

As you can see there are two pockets on the front of the card. These can be used to slide tags or gift cards into. In my case I chose one pocket for a tag and slid a tea bag into the other to go with the theme of the card.
 



 

Here you can see the tag. I simply stamped the tea cups in different coloured ink, fussy cut them and stacked them on top of each other. The edges of the tag are sponged with Soft Suede ink.

The large tea cup on the front of the card is stamped in Island Indigo. I have popped up the flowers to give the card some dimension. A tiny tag hangs from the handle of the teacup. Crochet ribbon and pearls embellish the card. 

 



The inside of the card is lined with Pretty in Pink cardstock and I also added a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock cut into a large framelit shape for a space to write a personal message.
 

 

I absolutely love this card fold! It's so easy to make and has a great result! The pockets are so fun! I can't wait to make more of these!
