Double Pocket Card - A Stamping with Friends Collaboration

 Hello everyone, and welcome back! It's the first Saturday of the month...time for another Stamping With Friends Blog Hop! Thank you for joining us! If you are new to my blog, Stamping with Friends is a group of Stampin' Up!® demonstrators worldwide who share our love of card-making through monthly blog hops with various themes. If you are following the hop, you'll have just popped over from Susan Boback Card Connoisseur USA blog. I hope you took a minute to leave a comment for her as I'm sure she'll appreciate it as much as I will. If you are starting the hop with me, thank you so much and I hope you enjoy what I, and the other hoppers have prepared for you today!

So the theme this month is...drum roll, please...Pocket Card.  What is a pocket card, you might ask?  A pocket card is a type of card created in which you can insert things such as a gift card or a treat of some sort into the "pocket". That's my answer and I'm sticking to it...

So I'm creating for you a double-pocket card featuring these colors:

Card 1:

Designer Series Paper: 8 1/2" x 11"

Color 2 Cardstock (Mat): 3/ 7/8" x 5 1/8"

Basic White/Very Vanilla Cardstock: 3 3/4" x 5"

Follow the tutorial and then decorate

Card 2:

Basic White/Very Vanilla or Colored CS: 8 1/2" x 11"

Designer Series Paper:  (2) 4" x 5 1/4" - 2 different yet coordinating patterns

Designer Series Paper: 3" x 4 1/4"

Follow the tutorial with some additional steps:  

Using Basic White or Very Vanilla or colored cardstock

 - Attach the 3" DSP panel to the upper right quarter panel (picture 1)

 - Using repositionable tape, tack down 1 of the DSP panels to the panel shown in picture #5a - 5c. Now adhere it with permanent adhesive

 - Repeat the previous step with the remaining DSP and add it to the front pocket panel. 

I've provided a pictorial, step-by-step tutorial for you to create the card and it works with both the DSP-only option and the Basic White or colored Cardstock option.  Join me on my Facebook page "In Da Craft Room with Caron" on Sunday, 5/5/24 @ 7pm CST to see how I put it together.
