Project Inspiration: Fall Harvest Blessings with a Feathered Friend by Brenda Noelke

Project Inspiration: Fall Harvest Topiary by Bobbi Lemanski

Project Inspiration: Fall Vibes At The Red Barn By Bobbi Lemanski

Design Team Tips with Laurie Schmidlin

April 6, 2018      Papertrey Ink      6 Comments

Join Laurie today as she shares tips and tricks to make an interactive pocket card.

“I love to create interactive cards!  My favorite is to create pockets that I can fill with coordinating notes, bookmarks, or tags.  Not only does it add interest to the card, but offers the recipient a little keepsake.  Today I’m sharing how to make a pocket card base using the same amount of cardstock as a regular card!  I hope you will give this a try!”

Supplies:

  • STAMPS: Stitching Garden, Penned Elegance
  • INK: Aqua Mist, Tropical Teal, Lemon Tart, Harvest Gold, Honey Nut, Spring Moss, Ocean Tides, True Black
  • PAPER: Stamper’s Select White, Aqua Mist
  • DIES: Stitching Garden, Penned Elegance, To the Point Edgers II
  • OTHER: Sequins, Strong adhesive

    Hi Laurie! I’m in love with your pocket card, it’s so pretty! It’s almost like getting 2 cards in one. I’ve tried to order the gorgeous Edger – but it hasn’t been available since the release. So, I’m putting my thinking cap on to adorn in a different way. Thank you Laurie for sharing your timeless design. 🙂
