I got the inspiration for this card from Paper Crafter's Magazine this past week. They didn't have dimensions on how to cut this little thing out, so I figured them out myself. I will share them with you. What I like about this card is there is a pocket in the back for a book mark and on the inside a spot for a gift card. How cute is this anyway! I think this would be a perfect to give my school's Language Arts Student of the Year his/her gift, which is usually a gift card to a book store. One can't read enough, don't you think?
I used the Twitterpated designer series paper that is in the current Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog. I fell in love with paper when it first appeared in the Occasion Mini and am sooooo happy they carried it over into the new catty. The item number is 125406 if you are interested. On the inside and outside of the card I used a small envelope size 3 1/8 x 3 1/8 inches. Item number is107309. The one on the outside is partially covered with dsp and on the inside it is total covered. Both are adhered with stampin' dimensionals.
The measurements for the card base are 10 1/2 inches by 5 1/2 inches. I then placed the long edge at the top of my Simply Scored (122334) and scored the card stock at 3 1/2 inch and again at 7 inches. I then cut from the top of the first score line at a diagonal to the 1 1/2" mark from the top of the card stock on the right edge of the paper. Fold on the first score line (make a mountain) over to the left edge of the paper. You can make the back pocket here by using sticky strip on three sides, leaving the top open. Then fold the top flap over to the right. I know this sounds confusing, so I am adding a picture. at the bottom. Decorate as you choose. I don't think you can go wrong with Stampin' Up! products as everything coordinates so perfectly.
Well, that's all for today. Hope you like what you see here today and I hope the diagram at the bottom is helpful. Until next time...
Happy Stamping!
