The card ends up being a standard size 4 1/4 x 5 1/2. It starts out a tri-fold. But you secure the right side to make a pocket to hold your inside card. I used kraft for my base. I stamped the leaf images from the Fall Harvest stamp set in Red Barn, Olive, and Goldrush inks. The sentiment is from Card Chatter - Sympathy stamped in Cocoa ink. I covered my right side folded piece with a piece of New England Ivy cardstock and attached a strip of brown grosgrain ribbon. I added two brads. Instead of using them to secure it with I used large glue dots. That way the ends of my brads would not be on the backside of my card. Here's the little card inside.
I used the same images and ink and stamped on a smaller Colonial White piece. The sentiment on this little card is from the Family Tree stamp set. I then stamped another sentiment from the card chatter set on the inside of the actual card itself.
I really liked this idea. I foresee more of these in my future. I like the little card tucked inside. As I was making this I was thinking of bookmarks, gift cards, or even trinket gifts in a smaller envelope that could be tucked in here for all different occasions.
Thanks for stopping by. Back to more homework!
Happy Scrapping!
