Pocket Card swap cards

The Swap of the Month with my Yahoo group ORSA is a card fold. The swap involves making 3 identical cards and I will get 3 different cards back.
Inspired by a past Paper Pumpkin kit I make 3 pocket cards with inserts. A template is provided below.

The base is Wisteria Wonder as I was planning on using the Daisy Delight DSP and that is one of the colors in the paper.  I used one of the cards from the Paper pumpkin kit as a template. The notch was made using a large oval punch.

On the front I adhered 2 patterns of the DSP with a piece of Lemon Lime Twist ombre ribbon over the seam. On top of the DSP I adhered a 1/8" strip of Wisteria Wonder.

I just love flowers, and a Daisy flower is no exception.  Two daisies were stamped using Wisteria Wonder ink.  For each flower, two Daisies were punched with the Daisy punch.

Before adhering them together, the petals were shaped using a bone folder and then pressed down in the center.  This makes the petals curve up and then down. The two were adhered together alternating petals.

I stamped a third Daisy, which I cut in half and added to the insert.

The centers, which were first stamped with Daffodil Delight and then Crumb Cake, were punched with the 1/2" circle punch and added to the flower center with a dimensional.  A gold faceted gem as adhered on top of that.

For each Daisy two leaves were stamped and cut out by hand.  They were first stamped with Pear Pizzazz with the outline stamped in Old Olive.  Before adding them to the Daisy, the edges were sponged with Old Olive and scored down the center. I punched a 1 3/4" scallop circle in Wisteria Wonder to be the base for the flower.  The flower was built on this scallop circle which was then adhered to the card front.

The sentiment, stamped in Black Memento, is from the same stamp set.

To complete the outside, I added a smaller gold faceted gem on either side of the notched edge.

The Insert:

This is a 4 by 5 1/8" piece of Whisper White whose edges have been rounded with the corner rounder punch.

Along the bottom is stamped a row of Daffodil Delight daisies.

At the top, visible from the notch are stamped 2 smaller daisies in Wisteria Wonder.  The first is a solid image stamped with second generation stamped.  On top of that is a Daisy stamped with the outline stamp on a separate piece of Whisper White.  It was cut out and adhered to the top of the stamped Daisy.

In between the Daisies I stamped some tiny Daffodil Delight coils and 4 tiny Daisies underneath.

The remainder of the sentiment is stamped about half way down with half of the cut out Daisy adhered on the side just below it.

I added some gold Dazzling Details to the centers of the smaller Daisies and the half Daisy on the insert.

Pocket Card

I made this card for a challenge with another group.  And, because I wasn't sure how to make this card I used retired Christmas paper and ribbon.
A video tutorial done by Louise Brigdon was helpful in making this unique fold.  You have to listen very carefully as her voice is quiet, and she uses centimeters instead of inches in some of her measurements.  However, I was able to figure the fold out.
Here's what I came up with:

I put a tag in it, but it could be used to hold a gift card.
The fold is basically a card front, so I mounted it on Early Espresso cardstock.  It is larger than an A2 card (6 1/8 by 8 5/8") so I will have to make an envelope to go with it.

Herer's the pocket card unmounted.

For the tag I used coordinating cardstock and picked up the Crumb Cake colour from the paper.  The ribbon was made using the envelope punch board.

I used the retired snowflake punch for the snowflake on the front of the card.

Candy Cane Christmas - Unscripted Sketches #184

Christmas is coming closer and closer.  The radio station I listen to while making cards started playing Christmas songs all day.  Apparently it has been named the official Christmas station in Peterborough.  Personally, I think it's a bit early, yet I'm enjoying it at the same time.

For the sketch challenge with Unscripted Sketches here I decided to make a pocket card with a tag in the pocket.  Pull the tag up and the sentiment is revealed (See second picture)

 

The base card is Real Red, layered with Whisper White card stock embossed with the Petals-a-Plenty folder.

Tag:  It was die cut using the Two Tag die - I cut the smaller of the 2 tags - in Whisper White.  Then I stamped 3 candy cane images in Real Red and die cut using the holiday collection Framelits. These were arranged and attached to the top of the tag.

The bottom of the tag was also a pocket made with red polka dot DSP.  The bottom of the candy canes were inserted into this pocket. The sentiment attached sideways.

Pocket: Again the red polka dot DSP was used to create a pocket on a piece of Real Read cardstock.  A strip of Real Red cardstock was placed at the top of the pocket and a white taffeta ribbon & bow was attached to it.

The tag was inserted into this pocket.

Pull the tag out and the sentiment is revealed
