Flowers Again!

Oh, I had FUN making this! It's a little pocket card thingie, that you can slip little reminder notes or 'love notes' in! Or any kind of note you like! I cut a piece of green card out & folded up the bottom to make a 'pocket'. Then I stuck a piece of hot pink card across the top & rounded the corners. I added tiny green brads to the sides to hold the 'pocket' closed. I found a piece of scrap paper that matched & added that to the bottom of the pocket. I added a hot pink tab (SU tab punch) and stamped the tab with a Totally Tab stamp. I added some paper flowers to the pocket & it was finished!! And it really didn't take too long! I LOVE making this type of thing! :-) Oh yes, I also added some stick on pearls to the flowers! (Gotta love them pearls girls!)

"Friends"

The words on this card are from www.kiwistamping.co.nz check out their website for some neat stamps etc!

I used my Floral Fantasy embossing folder & made the little pocket using some pale pink vellum.

I stamped the words onto some lilac card & made a tag using the round tab punch from SU. I stamped the flower & lines using the Totally Tabs stamp set, also from SU.

I added some sparkly pink lines around the edge of the card & added some paper flowers in the bottom right hand corner. Oh yes, I also added some stick on pearls! Oh bliss oh joy, I love to make easy peasy cards!! (Especially as I am cranky & still have a sore hip...but that's another story...)

Trifold Pocket Card

This idea came from Beate Johns on Splitcoast Stampers. Click on her name her name & when you get to SCS type in her name & you will find this card. Check out her tutorial for this card! The hardest part of this card, for me, was getting the scallop edge right! After cutting out the pocket I then cut the scallop bit & glued that in place. I added a blue & yellow strip of card across the front & cut out two circles using my nesties. On to that I added a round stick on button thing with "Celebrate" on it, that just happened to have the same coloured stripes as the pocket! I used my round tab punch from SU to make a tab for the card inside. I used Old Olive card from SU & some rust coloured card for the insert card.

"Grizz"

Here is a sort of pocket card I have just finished. "Grizz" is a "Stamps by Judith" stamp, the "love in a box" is a deleted one from DJ Inkers (Hooks lines & Inkers) & the curved row of flowers is from Penny Black. The tiny hearts are from a SU set. Tab punch is also from SU.

I made a 'pocket' with the card with Grizz on, the top & bottom are tucked inside the card. Then I made the card with the tab on, to fit inside the pocket card. I cut a curved line in the card using a plate 'cause I couldn't find my shape cutter off hand! (It was under some paper...) I put a piece of lilac paper inside the pocket card, matching it up to the colours on the words. I was 'experimenting' with my copics on this card! As a finishing touch, which sadly you cannot see, I added 'dots' of Kindy Glitz all over Grizz & when you look at him under the lights, or in the sun, he actually looks as though he is covered with lot's of tiny flashing, fairy lights! He is soooo cute! :-)
