Patriotic Pocket Card 1, MIM #68
Happy Memorial Day and thank you to those who have valiantly served our country and are serving. God bless you.
Today's Make It Monday Challenge 68 is to make pocket cards. I decided to make mine Memorial Day themed creating two very distinctly different cards using the same stamp set, colors, fold, and embellishments. I almost made a third to incorporate Authentique Glory designer paper, but need to get on with my day.
Both pocket cards use Est. 1776 as the stamp set, Enchanted Evening and Pure Poppy ink. One is made with Stamper's Select White card stock and the other using Classic Kraft. Machine stitching with white thread closes the pockets. Both cards have no designer paper and are made with just stamping.
In order to join the challenge, I had to make two posts. Please see the post above this for my Classic Kraft pocket card.
My white pocket card is 5-1/2" in height with square edges swiped using Chamomile Tea Dye ink. My embellishment is Classic Kraft Felt die-cut using the small star from Seeing Stars. I hand sewed an Enchanted Evening button to the center of the star with white embroidery thread and adhered it to my card. Enjoy!
