BUT WAIT... We aren't done yet!  We have a surprise! Our Dear Suzanne has a great tutorial to share with you all today! Yay!

Pocket Card Tutorial by Suzann

Start by taking a 8.5 x 11 piece of cardstock 

and cut in half long ways-

so that you have (2) pieces that are: 4.25 x 11

Next SCORE your base cardstock in two places-

once at 5.5 from the top

and then 1.5 from the bottom-

fold on the score- then fold the 1.5 piece the opposite direction

this will create a "Z" looking piece of cardstock

 

Then EMBOSS the front side of the card with your cuttlebug

Now EMBELLISH~

I added pattern paper and ribbon

corner rounded the edges and used a scallop punch to embellish

Next APPLY thin red tacky tape- along both inside edges of the card

Then CREATE the inside library card style insert~

I cut mine 3.75 x 5.25

then rounded the edges- added some pattern paper

and Cricut die cuts with my sentiment in the center for the

finishing touches!

Finished Project!

SO CUTE!

Well what a great tutorial for us all!  I actually used it to make my project this week! So everyone make sure you leave luv for Suzann for her hard work! And while your at it... don't forget the rest of the team who work hard to bring you great inspiration every week! Your comments keep us going!
