My Pocket Flap Card, I think I need a better name, is one I have done previously. I will add links to those later on. Today’s version is a quick Christmas Card. And one thing I love about this fold is that you can easily slip a gift card inside as well.
I paired the Brightly Gleaming Specialty Designer Series Paper with the Gold Foil for a very classy look. The DSP is one of the Returning Favorites from last Holiday Catalog and is in the current Mini Catalog. The small ornament punch is also part of the Returning Favorites. It is a pair of punches, this one and a larger ornament, named Gleaming Ornaments Punch Pack.
The sentiment across the top and the image on the inside are from the Tag Buffet Stamp set. This can be purchased with a Kit of tags or the stamp set alone. I love the stamp set and especially this Merry Christmas. Speaking of the Merry Christmas, I have stated previously that I dislike the Metallic Inks due to the messy and time consuming clean up. I have discovered the Cinnamon Cider Ink seems to have the same color and metallic look without the mess. When I stamped here and placed it against the foil, I was extremely pleased!!! I believe it is a perfect match and no messy clean up!
Here is a look at the inside of the card:
The white card pulls out for plenty of writing space. And since the bottom section is secured along each side, you have a secure spot to add a gift card if you wish.
NOTE: I used Tear & Tape to secure the sides here. I also put the inside white card in place when I secure the sides. And if adding a gift card, you would definitely want to place the gift card as you are securing it. This ensures you have enough room and it is not too tight and does not try to bend your card.
You can click HERE (this one has a video attached ) and HERE to see previous cards with this type fold.
Measurements:
- Base card is 5 1/2 X 8 1/2, scored at 2 1/4 and 6 1/4 , or 2 1/4 from each end. (The folded card ends up as 5 1/2 X 4 instead of 4 1/4)
- NOTE: The two “flaps” are the same measurements, it does not matter which you choose as the top.
- Front flap Foil bases are 5 1/4 X 2 ( you need 2)
- Front DSP is 5 X 1 3/4
- Front White is 5 X 1 3/4
- Inside card is 3 1/2 X 4 3/4
- When securing bottom flap to hold inside card, lay the card in place before peeling off the Tear & Tape to secure the flap. This ensures you have room to easily slide the card in and out. If you are adding a gift card, lay it down there as well prior to securing.
Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you have a good rest of your day!
