Stamparatus and Bag Are Great to Have!

Last night, we had a great class and, as always, I enjoyed it immensely.  What a great group of ladies!  As we made our cards, I taught them how to use the Stamparatus to help make the stamping of the little text pieces super easy.  I also showed them my new bag in which to safely store my Stamparatus and all its accessories.  I just love it and it holds a lot!

Here's the bag for the Stamparatus.

In another post, I'll share how to use the Stamparatus to make your stamping of the little text pieces easier.  Also, I promised my class attendees last night that I'd post a link today for the magnetic card insert that I added to my Stamparatus to make it possible to stamp right in the corner of it.  I got it from StampNStorage.  They are the makers of all my ink pad holders and punch holders, framelits and dies boxes and magnetic cards, not to mention all my Stampin' Blends.  I really love their products.  Here's the link:

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!!!
