Jolly Bingo Bits: Gingerbread Pocket Card

As the saying goes...better late than never! Here's the pocket card and the details I promised last week when I shared the Halloween pocket card. I've been busy with my Stamp and Scrap Getaway weekend, and with my "day" job as well.  November is going to be one wild and crazy month, but that's okay because I have a vacation in my sights in early December! :)

This was one of my workshop cards for the month of October, and everyone loved the concept of the pocket. Just my kind of project - quick and cute!    To create the "pocket" cut your cardstock to 11 x 4.25 and then score at 1.5 and 5.5 on the long side!  This is where the Simply Scored comes in as it makes scoring a snap! It's a definite must-have scoring tool for your crafting stash! The ribbon holds the pocket together, no adhesive needed!

The insert is 4 x 5.25 and the striped piece on the front is 4 x 2.75. Here's a picture of the insert that slides out:

Meet the Simply Scored Scoring Tool

In my time teaching cardmaking and papercrafting, one thing I've often been asked is how I do all the fun scores for boxes and fun fold cards, and I am thrilled to say that now Stampin' Up offers a tool to help you with all of your scording needs. Meet the Simply Scored!  It offers a quick and easy way to get those scores done with a minimum of fuss! 

Here's a card with a fun fold called a Z fold.   It just adds a little twist to your basic card and it's one that was featured at this month's Stamping Soiree - my monthly technique class. We created three projects with the Simply Scored which I'll share with you over the next couple weeks. If you want to learn more new techniques, you can read more about Stampin' Soiree here.  Next month's class is on October 14th and is focusing on glitter techniques!

For the Z-fold, you cut your cardstock to 8 1/2 to 5 1/2 and then score at 2 1/8 and 4 1/4.   The panels along the front feature Designer Series Paper cut to 5 1/4 by 1 3/4.  The front stamped panel is 3 x 3.

This card features the Pines and Poinsettas stamp set from the Holiday Mini Catalog along with the Hollyberry Bouquet Designer Series Paper.   The front polkadot pattern is sparkly!  The pinecones were colored with markers (Real Red, Early Espresso and Wild Wasabi) and then stamped.

Enjoy!  Tomorrow I'm off to Vegas and then St. George for Stampin' Up's Founder Circle where they pampered the top 125 demonstrators in the company. Thanks to all of you, my awesome customers, and my team, I get to join in the fun this year!  I'll be updating through out the week!
