Step 1 of 8

You need TWO decorative sheets the same. Trim both to 3 3/4 x 7 3/4". 

Step 2 of 8

Having decided where you want the pocket to be placed (see final card image), use the die to cut a pocket from ONE of the pieces of decorative paper. 

Step 3 of 8

Blend around the edges of the complete trimmed sheet, with Black Soot. 

Step 4 of 8

Add red liner tape along the bottom and down both sides, of the die-cut pocket. Remove the backing, carefully line up the printed design on the pocket with the design on the other sheet and secure pocket in place. 

Step 5 of 8

Adhere artwork to your DL card blank. 

Step 6 of 8

Create a topper (check size of the pocket first!) around one of the printed designs on a paper, rounding the edges with a corner punch and blending the Black Soot around all sides. 

Step 7 of 8

Die-cut a label from one of the foundation papers and stamp your chosen sentiment in Midnight. 

Step 8 of 8

Adhere to the bottom of the pocket, pop your topper inside and voila! 

You made it!

Share your make with the Stamps By Me community - and keep this guide for next time.
