While away on retreat a few weekends ago I created a set of cards using my new label 1 scallop dies and loved the way that they looked that when I needed to make up a card for all the girls to sign for a friend at work who was leaving I lifted my self.

Here is my first lot of cards.

Thinking of you card set.


And my lift of them.

Best wishes.


These are the steps I took to create my pocket card. (Sorry the first two pics were very blurry)

Step 1- Cut cardstock to 6 x 11 3/4 inches and then score and fold @4 and 8 inches. Cutting of that 1/4 of an inch makes the card sit nicely when folded.

Step 2-Cut and ink 2 pieces of paper 3 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches and one 3 1/4 x 51/2 to create panels for the front back and flap of the card.

Step 3-Using a circle punch, punch out a 1/2 circle from the smaller piece that is to go on the flap part of the card.


Step 4-Attach all 3 peices to the card base with tape on three sides only of the pocket peice.


Step 5-Now we can embellish the front. I snipped into a long thin scrap to make a ribbon look piece and then added a die cut label and flowers.

These are totally gorgeous Julie and love the die!

These are beautiful, Julie.

Thanks girls.

these came up a treat Julie - I think I need to have a play and do some scraplifting myself - what is that paper you have used - I should know but with over 4000 papers in store these days it is hard to keep track - I am thinking it looks MME

It sure is LA. The sweetest thing.

Awesome! I feel some scraplifting coming on! I always love to see different ideas for cards. Thank you Julie.

Julie, these are beautiful, and I agree, think I may have to have a go at these..

And if I had of had my reading glasses on last night I would have seen that link

Oooh these are lovely, Julie!! I also have an urge to scraplift ......would like to make a special card to send to my mom.
