Tutorial: Pocket gift card

Hi there !!! Lizzie here with my first ever tutorial.

I made a card that's a pocket gift card,

under the flap is a little pocket to pop in some money,

a voucher or a store gift card.

I used all papers and images from the CD Sugar Plum Daisy

You will need 

1 x A3 sheet white card

4 x A4 printed sheet and 4 contrasting plain sheets card
Double sided tape,
Edge punch of your choice, ribbon

This is VERY easy to make but please forgive the long "how to" !!

TO MAKE THE MAIN BODY OF THE CARD

As its difficult to cut A3 sized card I made my card in the following way.

Take the A3 sheet and cut 3" off the shorter side( A4 side).

  From the right hand side (along the A4 side)

Score 2.5" - this will be the flap of the pocket.

From that score line score 5.5"

Fold along both lines so the smaller piece is inside.
You should now have a 5.5" long length of card !

While it is folded. Along the long side cut 5.5"

You should now have a 5.5" square card, with flap for the pocket.

There is enough left to cut another from the folded card.

TO MAKE THE WRAP AROUND
Take the 3" piece of white card you cut off the A3 sheet

This is going to be the wrap around the card. 

I used a Martha Stewart punch to edge mine.

Now score 4 10/16" from the left and  1.5" from the right.
Take a contrasting colour card and patterned paper.
Cut the card 12 10/16" x 2 2/16"
Cut the paper 12 10/16" x 1 14/16"
so that they layer nicely on the white card.
widths may be different with different use of edge punches.

TO MAKE THE LAYERS FOR THE MAIN BODY OF THE CARD
Cut 4 x 5 1/4" x5 1/4" squares of the contrasting card (mine is purple)
Cut 4 x 5" x 5" sqaures of patterned paper
For the pocket:
Cut 1 x 2 1/4" x 5 1/4" piece of contrasting card
Cut 1 x 2" x 5" piece of patterned paper






Layer up all the pieces and attach the two of the squares to the inside of the card.
Put a thin strip of double sided tape on the inside of the pocket

Stick down the to squares for what will be the front and back of the card 

and the piece for the outside of the pocket.

Fold over the pocket flap and stick into position.

Along the back of the card attach the warp in place.

 Along the back of the card again put a piece of double sided tape

Attach a piece of ribbon long enough to wrap around the card and tie in a bow.

Turn it all over, fold together, add your money, etc into the pocket
 and tie the ribbon in place.
You can now either leave it as is or embellish the outer more.

Hope you like it !
