Pocket Cards

Today's tutorial on Splitcoaststampers is for a

'Flower Pot Pocket Card'.

I had already used this design for a birthday card a few

months back so I thought I would share it with you.

Initially I followed the tutorial exactly but as it started to

take shape the card seemed to be on the small side.

Now I am not a lover of big cards but I did want it a bit bigger.

I resized to suit me - can't remember the measurements-

but it wasn't difficult to do.

Anyhow I was happy with the result and so was the recipient.

This next pocket card was a tutorial on Jan Tink's blog called Carousel Notes. It was made using the Stampin'up product of the same name. As I didn't have access to Carousel notes I used square envelopes available and cut matching scalloped circles using my Cricut Expression and Accent Essentials cartridge. The paper is Cosmo Cricket 'Girl Friday' which I love.

I was in a rush to get this card in the mail so the photographs are not quite what I hoped.

Once again the one on the receiving end was pleased.
