Happy Birthday Gift Card Holder

More Than Just a Card! Explore Ways to Use Pocket Cards!, S5-656, STN-100, BP-162 I created this card to coordinate with the colors of the Starbucks gift card. To start, I ink blending the Build a Plaid stencil in orange, pink and green on the pocket front. Next, I used the Pinking Edge Dies to create the removable piece. I added some temporary adhesive to the gift card to make sure is pulls out with the rest of the pocket insert. More Than Just a Card! Explore Ways to Use Pocket Cards!, S5-656, STN-100, BP-162

Merry Christmas Money Holder

More Than Just a Card! Explore Ways to Use Pocket Cards!, S5-656, STN-100, SD-196 I used the Build a Plaid Stencil to create some peppermint looking stripes on this front of this card. To create the money holder, I cut 2 sets of holly dies. I adhered these pieces together then added a small piece of foam tape to the edge of each holly set. Next, I folded the money and placed the holly pieces so that they would hold it. No adhesive was placed on the money, just held against the foam tape. What a fun surprise to pull out this tab to find your Christmas present! More Than Just a Card! Explore Ways to Use Pocket Cards!, S5-656, STN-100, SD-196

Halloween Pocket

More Than Just a Card! Explore Ways to Use Pocket Cards!, SCS-252, S5-656, STN-100, SDS-195, SCS-315 For this card, I simply created a fun message on the pull out and instead added lots of details to the front of the pocket. I started with a silver glitter paper web. Next, I added a cute little spider with googly eyes. I loved bringing the colors together with the Build a Plaid stencil on the background.
