Published about 1 year ago • 4 min read

Hello Reader,

This pretty pocket of joy pairs the fun fold gift card holder sketch (shared as a subscriber exclusive yesterday) with the Florals in Bloom Suite Collection for a fresh, feminine finish! With delicate patterns, soft ribbon, and a bold “lovely” sentiment, it’s the perfect way to send a smile—and a gift card—beautifully.

  • Adhere the "lovely" die-cut to the Basic White layer with snipped-to-size Mini Stampin' Dimensionals.

stamp:

  • Use Clear Blocks to stamp the two sentiments in Blackberry Bliss Classic Ink above and below the die-cut as shown.

  • Adhere the 5 1/4 x 4 Basic White layer to the inside of the card base with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
  • Adhere the 2 x 1 strip of Designer Series Paper with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
  • Adhere the 2 1/4 x 4 piece of Designer Series Paper to the outside of the gift card pocket fold with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

  • Adhere the bottom and top edges of the gift card pocket to the card base as shown with Tear & Tape or Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
  • Adhere the 2 3/4 x 4 piece of Designer Series Paper to the left front side of the card base.
