Pocket fold card ~ note or gift card holder tutorial.

Hello.  For Technique Time at Unity, I am sharing a way to make a pocket card, folded for use as a note holder or as a gift card holder.

Simple folds can make unique cards, like this pocket card.

Here are helpful tips for making this pocket card.  To begin, pre-cut and score the card base.
Cut cardstock to 4 1/4" x 11"
Score at 5 1/2" and 9"

Next, add tacky adhesive like Wonder Tape or Score Tape to the inside fold at the edges and also to the outer flap, to fasten them down.  Also, leave room for a trimmed note panel to fit inside.  Next, stamp and trim the sentiment script background piece and trim a frame layer from patterned paper.  Then, stamp the with love sentiment over the script panel.  Next, trim a note panel to fit inside the pocket.  Next, use repeat stamping on the note panel to add the pink flowers and green sprigs, for a top note border.  Finally, layer the pocket card base and accent with twine to finish.

Hi there, and welcome to our "5" Days of Christmas"! This week we will be sharing with you LOTS of last-minute Christmas ideas, such as cards, tags, treat holders, gift card holders and whatever else comes to mind that will help YOU get your creative juices flowing.

Today is Day 4 of our 5 Days of Christmas! We all will be showcasing some quick and EASY gift card holders!

Sentiment: May Christmas bring you everything you're wishing for.

Here is a gift card holder with a pocket style. The was die-cut twice, using the Present Box Die with patterned paper. Instead of making a box, I made a flat pocket with the pattern on the front and on the back, folding the edges inward and leaving the top open. The bow trim is also part of the same die set. This can easily be added to a card as a card accent and gift card holder in one. This measures 3" x 4.5", assembled.

Holiday pocket card with a removable gift tag and foiling.

Here is a holiday card and gift tag in one.  It is a pocket style card with a removable foiled gift tag inside.

Sentiment:  Joyful Holidays.

For this card, I first made a little pocket front out of patterned paper, cut and scored.  This was added to the card base.  Then I foiled and die-cut the sentiment.  It was made into a gift tag and then inserted into the card pocket to finish.  It is a simple card design that provides a tag gift for the recipient.

The pocket front was cut 5" x 3".

The sides and the bottom of the pocket were scored at 1/2".

The sides and bottom were adhered with double-sided tape.

That front pocket layer was adhered to the card base on the sides and the bottom only, leaving the top portion open for the gift tag.

I made a quick video tutorial showing the process for this project.
