Double Pocket Card Tutorial

Double_fold_pocket_card_12_wm This is such a fun & easy card to make that you will want to make a whole bunch of them -- like I did!! 

For my sample, I've used "True Friend" with coordinating wheel "Boho Friend" wheeled with VersaMark ink.  Colors are Garden Green, Really Rust and Naturals Ivory, ribbon is Ivory Taffeta tied with Linen Thread.  Also used are gold eyelets (set with Crop-A-Dile), gold brad, Scallop punch, 3/4" and 1 1/4" punches and Coluzzle, corner rounder and Dimensionals.

Now for the instructions.....

Double_fold_pocket_card_1_wm_2 Step 1:  Start with an 8 1/2 X 11 sheet of cardstock, fold it in half vertically.

Double_fold_pocket_card_2_wm_2 Step 2:  Open the paper back up and fold it in half  horizontally.

Double_fold_pocket_card_003_wm Step 3:  With the paper face down, cut on the fold from the right side to the center fold.

Step 4:  With paper still facing down, make a fold in the lower right hand corner over to 1" from the center fold.  This is shown in the picture below..... I have nooooo idea why I can't get this step to line up beside the proper picture!!  :-)

Step 6:  Fold the lower right-hand-side over to the left-hand-side.

Double_fold_pocket_card_7_wm Step 7:  Fold bottom left-hand-side up to upper-left-hand-side.

Double_fold_pocket_card_8_wm  Step 8:  Fold right-side over to left side and attach with SNAIL.  (this is actually the back of the card)

Double_fold_pocket_card_9_wm  Step 9:  Turn it over -- and this is what you'll see!

Double_fold_pocket_card_10_wm  Step 10:  Make 2 tags for inserts.  These are 5" X 2 1/2.

Double_fold_pocket_card_11_wm  Step 11:  Decorate front as desired.

I know this sounds like a lot of steps, but it is sooooo easy to make!  I hope you'll try it -- and PLEASE send me a pic of what you do with this great new card idea!

Thanks to my friend, Mary Ann, for sending this GREAT NEW CARD IDEA!!!!
