Here is another fun fold that I have seen different
variations to. Some where you open the flaps to a white base on the
inside and this one with a card you pull out.
I have been going back to pins I have saved to see if I could see who I Cased
this idea from and I can’t find it. Maybe Lisa Curcio? Just know if it
was your idea I cased, take this as a compliment and not that I am trying to
take credit for your idea. You can use so many different Designer Papers
and/or stamps to create different looks. Anyhow, when you do make these
cards, pay attention to the direction of your designs. Have fun with it.
The ladies at the workshop did!
CRISS CROSS POCKET BIRTHDAY CARD
HOW TO ASSEMBLE:
1.
Using an 8 ½’ x 11” piece of cardstock,
score down the middle in both directions. Turning the cardstock to landscape
orientation, cut out the top right rectangle along the scored lines. Trim this
piece down to 5 1/8” x 4” and set aside.
2.
Keeping
the cardstock in that same orientation, cut a diagonal line from the right top
corner to the bottom middle score line.
3.
Make another diagonal cut from the top
left corner down to the middle.
4.
Fold these flaps in and brandish with
your bone folder.
5.
Take a 4” x 5 ¼” piece of your DSP,
paying attention to the direction and cut it diagonally. (If you want both flaps to be the same, then
you will need two pieces of the same DSP both 4 x 5 ¼” and this piece cut on
the opposite diagonal.)
6.
Adhere your two triangles of DSP to the
flaps of your card. Fold them back down and using a very thin stripe of Multipurpose
liquid glue adhere closed the open end of your card. (Forming a pocket.)
7.
Run the piece of white cardstock through
the emboss machine with the scalloped edge die (on the longer side.). Stamp your sentiment on the bottom. Adhere
this to the coordinating cardstock from step 1. This will slide into the pocket
you formed on your card.
8.
ON another piece of white cardstock,
stamp the flowers then color with your Stampin’ blends. Run through die
machine. Also die cut a small rectangle to stamp your sentiment on.
9.
Die cut some foliage with the green
cardstock. Create a “bouquet” on the
front of your card where the two flaps cross.
Orient it according to the direction you want your card to be and adhere
it making sure not to adhere to the inside.
Adhere a little bow to embellish.
10. Adhere
the sentiment using dimensionals.
11. Optional.
Adhere a small strip of coordinating DSP to the front left of your envelope.
