Hello, everyone! Today I'm sharing a quick Christmas pocket I created for The Kraft Journal. The current challenge is a Pick 3 Challenge, and we would love to have you play along with us. There's also a big 40% off sale taking place now at the Kraft Outlet. I started my project with a nice big Lunch Bag Kraft #10 Open End Policy Envelope that I folded half-way up to create a pocket. I covered that in patterned papers, machine stitched, and embellished with some green and red Baker's Twine.
I also added some October Afternoon flair, tucked in some tags and a gift card, and that's about it. I love using large bags and envelopes to create these wonderful pocket cards. They're great for gift-giving. And because this is a huge envelope (notice the flap at the top), you can also tuck photos or notes, etc, into the envelope. The Kraft Outlet has lots of great envelopes, bags, and goodies of all sorts - and many of them are 40% off right now.
I'm entering my project in some challenges that you can find by clicking on the highlighted links:
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Simon Says "Tag It" - I have one tag on the front, and another tag tucked inside the pocket.
A-Muse Studios/Amusing Challenge - Happy Holidays - I'm happy to share my little holiday project in this fun challenge.
