Double Pocket Card
<<back
1. You need a piece of 12 x12 double sided paper or card stock. (A fairly light card stock works best). Fold in half one way then turn the card and fold in half the other way to give you four equally sized squares.
2. Make a slit in the paper along the horizontal fold line from the left to the centre.
3. Decide which side of the paper you want to be your main colour on the front of the card. With this side face down, fold the bottom left hand point to the centre, lining up the two straight edges with the horizontal and vertical fold lines and crease well. (Note: it makes later assembly easier if you just abut the fold lines.)
4. Leaving this new fold in position, turn the paper over and fold the top left hand corner towards the middle leaving a gap between the edge of the folded corner and the vertical fold line of 2.5 inches.
5. Fold this top left hand piece across the right hand piece.
6. Fold the bottom right hand piece up.
7. Fold the left side piece round behind to form a traditional side opening card.
The pictures below show where to put the double sided tape. Be careful how far you put it into the corners or you’ll find yourself peeling some back off!
The card is now ready to decorate as you choose and you can have fun deciding what to put into the pockets – I’ve used tags this time but you could have bookmarks, photos, artwork, ATCs or even seed packets!
