Happy September everyone! We have another month of fun challenges for you at Create with Connie and Mary AND we are kicking it off with a fun sketch challenge combined with making a pocket card!
As soon as I thought of doing a pocket card I thought right away of using the envelope liners. It worked out PERFECTLY!!!
For this card I used the middle envelope liner (in the set of three). By playing with the paper size I was able to get my final pocket card to measure 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 so perfect for a regular sized envelope!
The pocket card was made using dsp from Sweater Weather. I added a Chocolate Chip herringbone print banner with strip of the Soft Sky Polks Dot on on it. I stamped the greeting using Versamark on Very Vanilla, embossed with Early Espresso Embossing Powder, punched with 1″ Square Punch, layered on 1 1/4″ Square Punch, then 1 1/2 Scallop Square Tangerine Tango Punch. I used the Crushed Curry marker to highlight ‘so much’. I added this using dimensionals. The inside card is Very Vanilla and I used the same envelope liner to shape the top. I sponged using Chocolate Chip. I added a strip of the Chocolate Chip Herringbone print along the bottom and a strip of Tangerine Tango cardstock. The leaves at the top – maple: tangerine tango solid, oak: Soft Sky solid, outline: versamark and Early Espresso Embossing Powder. Crushed Curry button, Linen Thread. Maple on the bottom – same print as the pocket, outline versamark and Early Espresso Embossed.

Very cute Mary, love the pull-out part of your project!
Wow! You and Connie used the same thing to make your pocket cards and yet they are so different! Love that! And I love the cut out leaves! So pretty!
Gorgeous card as usual!! I love that you used the Envelope Liner Die cuts to make it. Between you and Connie having such fantastic ideas I am creating a huge wish list!
Wow, Mary, what a great idea to use the envelope liner framelits for your pocket card! So clever! I’m trying to not buy everything and thought I could do without these framelits.. but you’re not helping! lol! I love how you added the DSP to the bottom of the inside card.. it makes it look so finished and classy! Beautiful card inside and out!
