In my last post, I said that I was going to post all week about Penguins….but I completely forgot that I needed to post this card from last week’s Therapy Thursday Facebook Live! (Please excuse my massive brain fog these days!) This is a fun fold that uses one piece of 8 1/2″ x 11 Designer Series Paper to make the card.
After a bit of scoring and folding and a little cutting of corners (literally), the card folds and makes 2 pockets. The front pocket will hold 2 bookmarks (one short and one tall) and the back pocket holds a larger card that you can either write or stamp on.
AND….it opens up just like a regular card too!
For this card, I used a piece of the Simply Elegant Specialty Designer Series Paper that is from the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog. The Black and Very Vanilla Colors in the paper gives the card a more masculine look.
I choose the Leaf Pattern that is in the bottom right corner. I also paired it with the new Gorgeous Leaves Stamp Set that is in the new July-December Mini Catalog. I used the leaf on the top right and the “dots” next to it to provide a little background.
In keeping with the theme of the paper, I stamped the leaves in Smokey Slate and Basic Gray….inking my stamp and then stamping off once to give it an even lighter color. I knew that I wanted to stamp the sentiment over the top of a few of the leaves, so this made sure my images were light enough to show the darker Memento Tuxedo Black ink. And this is one of the few cards that I used Very Vanilla Cardstock instead of Basic White too!
The bookmarks were so easy to make too! I used the new Tailored Tags Dies. I wasn’t going to purchase these at first because I thought I have punches to make tags, and I try not to duplicate things that I already own, but it was the detailed stitching around the outside that got me. I love a stitched detail! There are 4 sizes for each design (notice the top of the tags are different!) I know you’ll be seeing these on new projects coming up!

To see how this card was made (and it’s much easier than you might think!) check out this video from my Facebook Live – Therapy Thursday: Pat’s Card Corner Double Pocket Card
In the video I showed you a “stepped up” version of the pocket card where I added a little color – Polished Pink to be exact. And I used one of the papers from the new Beautifully Penned Designer Series Paper that is part of Sale-A-Bration….so here’s a little peek at that card
Happy Stamping!
