Hello and Welcome!

Watch video tutorial here!

Today I would like to show you how to create a simple pocket style card in two different ways. To begin, we will die cut a circle from the Ai Nested Circle Dies (5726) and a heart from the Ai Nested Heart Dies (5721) using some white 100lb cardstock.

Next, we will stamp our images onto the heart and circle using the Ai His Love Set (6150). We will also be using the little cluster of hearts and the little branch from this same set.

Once we have stamped the images, we can color them using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Sugared Almond Pink, Bright Yellow, Haze Blue, Mint Leaf, Blue Green. Let’s also add some ink around the edges of these items using some Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Inks in Picked Raspberry.

Let’s use some pretty patterned papers to create the pockets for our cards using the Ai Valentine Series 2 Cover PP (6182) and the Ai Valentines Cover PP (6022). These double-sided papers in the larger 6″x 9″ size will be perfect for the pockets. I will give you all of the dimensions for cutting and scoring in today’s video.

To each of the pockets, we will die cut a scalloped circle from the Ai Scalloped Circle Dies (6045) and a scalloped heart from the Ai Nested Heart Dies (5721). Don’t forget to keep the die cut pieces so that you can attach them to the stamped images.

We will then create the card inserts using some Ballet Slipper and Ocean Breeze cardstock and add a layer of white cardstock with the edges inked with that same Picked Raspberry ink that we used previously and to the other panel we will use Speckled Egg and Peacock Feathers.

Now we will die-cut a lovely, scalloped border using the Ai BJ Decorative Margin Dies (5972) and let’s also quickly stamp these with our sentiments from the Ai Encouragement Sentiment Set (5949). Let’s also stamp the sentiments on the card panels.

Next, place the heart and circle pieces onto the card panels by inserting the card panel all the way into the pocket and then attaching the shapes through those openings…this is a really easy way to line these up perfectly every time!

And we can also die-cut a little tab from the Ai Storybook Template Dies (6121) in the coordinating patterned paper and add these to the side and top of our card panels. We will also tie on a bit of pretty velvet ribbon to each tab.

Finally, we can add a few sparkly gems in coordinating colors to the front of the pockets!
