Shapes by Design (1)--Pocket Card

I am so excited about tonights release! I sure hope to meet you all online at the PTI forum...again, if you have any questions regarding the Shapes by design set please bring them with you and I will happily answer them.

Today's tutorial is one of my favourites. As you know from the first card that I shared with you I really enjoy cards that have a special component to them. Pocket cards are perfect because they are different from your regular day to day cards.


I began today's project by stamping a sheet 4x5.25 using black ink.



Next, I "filled" the shape using the solid circle stamp and a light green.


Then I filled the the outer edges using a green marker.


I cut out the centre image (the very small square) to mask it off from the rest of the rectangle. Next I took the rectangle stamp and stamped over the image using the light green to give it some extra colour. (see image below close to the ink pad)




I punched out the word window and stamped the word celebrate on it. And set it aside for "building" my layers.


Using a piece of paper 5.5x11 I scored .5 from either edge and in the center at 5.5.


Here is a photo of what it looked like when I was finished.


I adhered each edge and squeezed them together to create a pocket.


Here is a close-up of the pocket.


I lined up the punch and punched one side using the 1 1/4. You can see I only punched a half circle.


Here is the final project. I created a quick card to put in the pocket.


Here is a close up of the project.
