Instructions

Pocket Card:

• Fold an 11” x 4” piece of white cardstock in half to create a 4” x 5-1/2” card base.
  While folded, round the corners of the card.


• Using the Nestibilities Label 4 dies, cut out a suede and Taffy label.
  Layer together then cut in half.
  You will only use one of the halves of this piece for this project.


• Fold the Taffy card base in half.
  Score one of the long ends of the Taffy base card stock at about 1” and fold inward.
  Adhere it down.


• With the card folded, round the corners.


• Open the card base again and then adhere a 5-1/4” x 3-3/4” rectangle of the Hearts and Flowers DP to line the inside of the card base.


• Add strong adhesive to the sides of the card base next to the lining.
  Fold in half to seal the sides and create the pocket.


• Stamp monochromatic flower images on the front of the card base using Crimson ink.


• Align the cut side of the suede label half (Step #2) with the folded edge of the card base (this is the front of your pocket card).
  Adhere it to your Taffy base.


• Stamp the word “Courage” with white pigment ink onto suede piece.
  Add sentiment using computer or stamp as shown in sample. Cut scrap pieces of ribbon and add glue to ends.
  Position under the sentiment layer.


• Embellish the card with Prima flowers, Breast Cancer Awareness brads and pink ribbon.
