Sending Sunshine Pocket Card

Hello Friends,

Today's Sending Sunshine Pocket Card is a fun way to send a handmade card with a little something, something tucked inside.  Send a gift card for graduation or just because.  Or maybe you would rather tuck a little cash or a treat in your card for a birthday. Whatever the occasion, send a little sunshine and a little something extra with today's Sending Sunshine Pocket Card.

I had planned to make a video tutorial for today's card, but time did not permit.  The front scene was quick and easy to stamp with the Sending Sunshine stamp set by Stampin' Up!.  I used a combination of Balmy Blue and Seaside Spray to stamp the water.  Then using my Blending Brush, I brushed on a Balmy Blue Sky, then stamped a few random clouds.  The sand was brushed on with Sahara Sand ink, then I stamped the specks using the same ink.  The rising sun was stamped with Daffodil Delight ink and the greenery was stamped with Granny Apple Green ink.  I stamped the sentiment with Pacific Point ink and trimmed to make 3 pieces. 

The paper is from the outgoing Free Berry Blessings Paper from January-February 2021 Sale-a-bration.  In another two days this beautiful paper will be gone.

How to Make the Pocket insert

Cut a 11" by 4-1/4" piece of Balmy Blue Card Stock.  Score at 2-3/4", 5-1/2" and 8-1/4".  Stamp "Sending Sunshine Your Way" using Pacific Point Ink.  Cut two Sweetly Stitched scalloped rectangles for the center panel.  Then cut two pieces of 2-3/4" x 1-5/8" Berry Delightful Paper (blueberries) to place over scalloped rectangles.  Slice a corner off the end panel.

For the last step, adhere the left panel to the left side of the card as shown.  Fold score lines. Add a thin line of glue on 3 the sides and bottom of the pocket.  Fold over the back of the card for perfect placement.  Tuck in your surprise and you are done with your card!
