Festive Farmhouse Pocket Card

I hadn't made a pocket card for a long time and decided that our Festive Farmhouse DSP would lend itself very nicely to one.  It's really simple to make one and you can have a lot of fun designing how you want it to look.

My CS base is just a quarter sheet of CS.  The DSP is cut 1/4" smaller, to allow the base layer to show.  Cut the CS for the inside of the pocket just enough smaller to easily slide in and out.  I decided to add a punched circle to make it easy to hold the top of the card to pull it out. 

The DSP is just folded and then held shut with the Baker's Twine.  You can choose however you want to embellish the outside of your card and you can add whatever stamping you'd like to the inside card.  There's actually room that you could slip a gift card in with it.  The entire card is the same size as an A4 card and fits into a regular envelope.
Complete measurements:
1/4 sheet CS base = 5 1/2" x 4 1/4"
pocket portion of card = 10 1/2" x 4"  / score @1 1/4, 5 1/4"
inside card for pocket =  4 3/4" x 3 1/2" 
                                                    layered over 5" x 3 3/4"  
Our contractor is coming today, so we can actually get a plan going for the next phase of our repairs in my studio.  Yay!!!  And ... wait ... is that turkey I smell?  Oh, yum!!!

Fall Birthday Card and a Little Fall Vignette

Here's another version of a Fall card I made using our Blended Seasons stamp set.  I made a big batch of these for the September birthday cards for our church to send out.  I'm actually using this same stamp set for their October birthdays and I'll be sharing that card soon.

I layered 2 punched pieces to create the focal piece of the card.

Notice how the top layer pops when you add a black mat behind it.

Here's a little Fall vignette for you to enjoy.  I made this sampler several years ago and am still enjoying displaying it each Fall season.
