Valentine Gift Pocket

Hello and welcome to the CutCardStock Blog! It’s Gloria with you today. Christmas cards are finished and now it’s on to Valentine’s Day cards!

Make sure the new opening you cut is positioned at the top of your project. This is now your gift pocket.

Cut printed ledger paper (American Crafts Crimson 6×6 pad) to 6″ x 5 1/8″ and attach the paper to the bottom section of the envelope.

Trim Classic Crest Solar White Cardstock to 2 1/2″ x 6″. Punch one long edge with a lace border punch. Trim the punched strip to 2″ x 5 1/8″ and place it at the top of the envelope, overlapping the ledger paper.

Trim script paper, from the Crimson pad, to 1 1/2″ x 4 7/8″ and attach it to the punched strip.

Place a circle die (1 3/4″) into the pocket, face up. Center the die and run the envelope through your die cut machine.

You now have a notch cut out of the envelope pocket.

Trim the ledger paper to 2″ x 5 1/8″ and slip the paper into the pocket opening.

Trim text paper to 6 7/8″ x 5 1/8″ and attach it to the back of the envelope. (The text paper is from my stash.)

Use red ink to stamp a sentiment in the lower right corner of the pocket.

Cover a 5″ shipping tag with paper from the Crimson pad.

Lightly mist red seam binding with water and scrunch it. Allow the seam binding to dry.

Trim a vintage image into a tag shape and attach it to the shipping tag as shown. Fussy cut a ticket image and attach to the right side of the pocket. (Image and ticket from my stash.)

Glue a tiny, red clothes pin to a chalkboard covered wood heart. Glue the heart to the tag. Use a white gel pen to write on the chalkboard heart.

Place a gift into your pocket, and give it to your favorite Valentine!

Thanks for looking!
