Pocket Cards Tutorial

These cards are an outer pocket of DSP with a piece of card stock inside.  I have done these in a couple sizes. The tutorial is for 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 so they fit in a medium envelope.

Cut a piece of DSP to 6 x 9 1/4.  Card stock for the insert should be 5 1/2 x 4.  

Score the DSP along the long edge at 2 3/4 and 7.  

 Scoring at 7 inches

Along the short edge at the bottom of the pocket (be sure to check that you are placing this score at the bottom if there is an up and down to the design.  

Here you can see the scoring.  Fold all in the same direction. 

Cut away the small rectangles on the left and right, leaving the center piece.  I angle the but a little to make it lay flatter.  

Test the folds by closing the rectangles on the left and right.  Lift the bottom flap up and make sure it lays flat.  If not, trim off a little bit more on the left and right side. 

Place adhesive on the right said on one edge and the wrong side on the opposite edge.   I like to use tear and stick
