pocket cards
using graphic 45 paper was a wonderful treat. the colors are vibrant and the images tantilizing. they transport you back in time…i am sure that life a few decades ago was not dull and muted, but just as vibrant as this paper!
i love graphic45
i love keeping tickets and programs and little notes.
i love pockets.
…. a perfect match.
i have done many scrapbook layouts that included pockets to keep special trinkets from events and memories.
one of my favorite classes to teach is a technique class around my intrigue with pockets.
here are a few of my ‘go to’ pocket designs….
the most basic of pockets involves a piece of paper and glue. i like to use the Tombow MONO Aqua on my pockets. on a square or rectangle apply glue to three edges, the two sides and the bottom. on the “beach bound” card i used one of the postcard beach scenes from g45′s the boardwalk collection. easy enough to cut it from the paper, apply the adhesive to three side and attach it where i wanted it. then i used the pocket to hold tags with information regarding an upcoming family reunion.
the second card is a traditional card that opens to a message on the inside, but the front has a pocket functions as a gift card holder. the boardwalk collection also has coordinating sheets with punch-outs (as do all of the g45 lines). some of those punch-outs are strips of pattern papers. i removed them from the sheet, cut them into 3 1/2″ strips and adhered them to the card front. this time, i only put the MONO Aqua on the two side edges. the middle is open all the way down, perfect for sliding a tag into the pocket. on this tag i used the Tombow MONO Removable adhseive runner to attach a gift card to the back of the tag. the top of the tag are punched circles adhered together on either side of the tag to serve as a “pull”, to remove the tag from the pocket. i personalized the inside of the card using the Tombow White Gel Pen.
have you seen all the fun video’s on graphic 45′s blog? be sure to look there for more inspiration! oh wait, did i mention i love pockets?
I haven’t posted much about this roller but I use it all the time. It’s the Mono Adhesive Roller- REMOVABLE. The refills are the same and snap into place and it has the same smooth roll-on application. When you’re looking for it in stores or online, it has green accents instead of blue on the roller and refils. I use most for my printer. I can just print out my type on a regular cardstock and then use my REMOVABLE ROLLER to adhere my smaller 8×8 paper, my ribbon or my fabric. I know it won’t tear my paper or stretch my ribbon after it’s printed on and I’ll still be able to use it on my next project. (MONO Adhesive Dots work great for this technique too!)
