I am loving the new Berry Basket Die and finding new and fun things to make with it. One of those things is a Pocket Card! (I've also made a Double Berry Basket)
I made this pocket card for one of my Secret Bunny gifts. My secret bunny loves the new Chalkboard Paper and Chalk Inks. So, I incorporated those into this pocket card.
I used the Handpicked Framelits that coordinate with the From the Garden set to make some chalk board garden pick tags, to go with the pocket card.
Making the pocket with the Berry Basket Die is pretty easy, here's how:
1. Cut out two Basket pieces, the smaller one with a 2-1/2" x 3-1/2" piece of card stock. The bigger one with at 3-1/2" x 3-1/2" piece of card stock. When you cut these pieces, line to top of the card stock up with the top cutting line on the die (see picture below). This will leave you with one basket piece with no flap and the other with a flap for assembling your pocket. You will also need one scallop border piece die cut from the same die.
2. Adhere the two basket pieces together, so that the flap is on the inside of the pocket. Emboss texture onto the pocket or stamp the pocket now.
3. Cut one scallop off each end of the trim, then fold one scallop, at one end, back. Now the scallop trim is just the right size to go around the top of the pocket exactly. Adhere this around the top, closing it off with the one folded scallop at the end.
The measurements for the insert are: 3" x 4" (a fourth of an inch smaller all the way around if you want a top layer on that)
Then you just dress it up how ever you like.
