CCMC 267

Good morning, Stampers! I'm here with a very special challenge from the ladies at Create with Connie and Mary! This week they have provided us with a fabulous sketch but they have put a twist on it. We are to use the sketch AND make a pocket card! How fun is that!! So here's the sketch:

I got the idea to make a Christmas card where you could use the pocket to put a family photo! And here is what evolved:

The scallop circle element is attached just at the upper corner of the insert so that it makes it easy to insert and pull out! I don't have a picture on my insert but that is where it would go. Here are the details:

• Card base of Baked Brown Sugar
• Layer of Baked Brown Sugar that has been folded over that has the four corners rounded with the corner rounder
• Behind the pocket I adhered a piece of of the Seasons of Style designer paper and then a strip of the designer paper is adhered to the flap with the bottom corners rounded with the corner rounder
• The pocket is then adhere to the card
• Under the flap I adhere a piece of the designer paper after flagging the bottom and then adhered the flap down
• I stamped the greeting from Wishing You in Baked Brown Sugar and used the label thinlet from the Circle Card Thinlets die to cut it out
• The greeting is adhered to a piece of Champagne glimmer paper that was punched with the Decorative Label punch and then popped up onto the card
• For the circle element I stamped the packages using Old Olive and Cherry Cobbler markers onto Whisper White, cut them out and popped them up onto a circle of Cherry Cobbler that was cut with the Circles #2 die
• The circle is then adhered to a scallop circle of Old Olive that was cut with the scallop thinlet from the Circle Card Thinlets die
• I popped up the circle element onto the Whisper White insert and added a rhinestone to the bow on the middle package
