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!

Today I have a twist to an old technique. Do you remember the “spotlighting” technique of many years ago? We would stamp a large image and then draw a circle, or stamp again on scrap and punch a circle. Then you only colored the image inside that circle. So today’s card began with that idea.
My idea of the “spotlight” didn’t quite work out. I planned to spotlight the wreath, but that looked odd because of the light just above it. It would have been a long oval instead of a circle. So I finally decided just to do the light pole and wreath. I am happy with how it turned out. I would still call this “spotlighting”, just a different version!
All of the stamps are from the Light Me Home stamp set. I love this image. It seems to be the Old Fashioned Christmas card look. I wanted Rich colors for the card and chose Cherry Cobbler and Shaded Spruce. The colors I used in the wreath are all the Light color of each of the Stampin’ Blends. They are all listed in my supply list at the bottom of the post.
The sentiment is from the stamp set and is cut using the Layering Circles Dies. To give it a grounded look, I cut a strip of Shaded Spruce 1/2″ X 2 1/2″ and used the Banner Pick A Punch to make the banner end.
Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you will return tomorrow for another new project. Also, there are only two more days to take advantage of the Starter Kit Promotion I have listed below. Check it out before it is gone.

I have only played with the Beautiful World stamp set a couple of times. So I decided it was past time to pull it out again. The stamp set and matching DSP are wonderful.
I used the Beautiful World Bundle today. The cut outs in the globe are a favorite! I didn’t plan on it when choosing the DSP sheets, but I do love the map paper you can see through the cut outs of the globe. Surprises are always appreciated!
I chose the map piece of the World of Good Designer Series Paper as my starting point for today’s card. All of the sheets are gorgeous! Especially the ones with the foil accent. I had not previously used the piece in the background, so added it as well. With those two choices I decided on the Cinnamon Cider card stock as my card base. I am falling more and more in love with this color. It seems to match so many colors.
I chose to think of the colors in the background layer as blue and gray. The perfect match for that, at least to me, is Misty Moonlight. And that finished my color choices! I did add one of the 2020-2022 In Color Dots in Cinnamon Cider as the accent point on the sentiment.
Measurements:
Cinnamon Cider base card is 4 1/4 X 11
Misty Moonlight layer is 4 X 5 1/4
large DSP layer is 3 7/8 X 5 1/8
small Misty Moonligh layer is 2 1/4 X 4
small DSP layer is 2 X 3 3/4
scraps for Whisper White and Misty Moonlight Layering Circles
Thank you for stopping by today! I hope you have an enjoyable weekend and stay safe.

I hope you found some stamp sets you loved in the 24 Hour Sale from yesterday! There were several on the list that I love and use regularly. One of the ones is the Gorgeous Posies stamp set. It can be purchased as part of a kit, or just the stamp set. I have just the stamp set and used it again today.
I wanted more of Fall colors for this card, so I went with Terracotta Tile, Mango Melody, and Just Jade. The flowers are stamped with only the Mango Melody, but they have great shading due to the stamp itself! I really love that.
As happens with me quite often, I started with one idea and then went in another direction. You cannot see from the photo, but the flower images are not stamped on the white layer. I stamped the bottom two flowers and leaves and then fussy cut them, but left them straight along the bottom. The raised center flower and pair of leaves are fussy cut and raised with dimensionals.
The background is the gorgeous Dainty Diamonds Embossing Folder. I love the subtle, yet detailed, embossing it gives to any project. The base card is Thick Whisper White and perfect for thinner layering. This would be a great card for multiples if you simply stamped the bottom flowers that I cut directly onto the layer. It only takes a minute to cut the single flower and pair of leaves that I raised.
Thank you for stopping by today! I hope you like this project. Please stop by tomorrow for another new project.

Today is the 15% OFF 24 Hour Sale. Just click on the sale icon and you will see the PDF of all the stamp sets that are included in the sale. Be aware…..the price listed in the pdf DOES NOT show the 15% Off!!!! Below the icon, I have a card to share that is made with one of the On Sale stamp sets. It’s a quick and easy, which is perfect for that set.
There are a lot of great sets in the sale. One of my favorites is the Queen Anne’s Lace set. I have a quick Gate Fold card using the set to share.
As you can see from the stamped image, this is a great set for quick cards. Mine is a Gate Fold, but I have also used the same stamps with a regular fold and they are just as pretty.
I hope you find some sets that you have had on your wish list. If you do place an order with me, and do not already have a party Host Code, please use my monthly code. My September Host Code is GJUKJDFB
