Pocket Card Gift Card Holder

After I made my set of 3x3 cards last week, I kept on going and made this cute pocket card with a pull out tag for attaching a gift card onto.

My inspiration came from Kim O'Connell's card which I saw (and Pinned) on Pinterest.

Gosh, it's been a long time since I made a pocket card. 

I forgot how fun and easy they are.

The tag pulls out and you can easily attach a gift card with a glue dot or two.

Super cute.  :)

Happy creating!  :)

Miracle Double Pocket Card

I still have some of my Miracle kit left over, even after creating this.  I made this adorable Double Pocket Card using instructions by the very talented Beate Johns which she shares on the Splitcoaststampsers website.  You can find her instructions HERE.

I kept mine pretty basic, but next time I think I'd like to pull out my sewing machine and do some stitching on the edges.  I kept the tag blank simply because I'm not sure who I will give this to or what I'd like it to say yet.  And I made mine basically as a card front/postcard style.  If I decide I need to write more than I can fit on the tag, then I can easily glue it onto a base, but I like it as is.  :)

Coming to mind just now is my sister's birthday that is coming up next month.  She loves to read and loves her coffee, so I think this would be the perfect card to mail to her with a gift card(s).

Tea for Two...

I was on Nichole Heady's blog and saw this project. I knew I had to give it a try, especially since she has the template sitting right there, teasing, taunting, and calling to me... lol I did make some adjustments to mine, though. I guess tea bags must be a little bigger here in Canada or something, because it was just a little too small to fit the ones I had at home. So I remade it, making it a little bigger, using a 12" x 5" piece of cardstock and adjusting my scoring lines. That worked! Yay! This is just so cute! This one's going in my Doorprize pile too. That pile is getting rather big!!!

I used my Nestabilites Labels 1 dies for the cut out and the "Tea for Two" die cut. For the teabag pockets, I used the Top Notes dies from SU, and cut it in half.
