To turn the card base into a pocket, add Tear & Tape Adhesive along the bottom edge and along one side of the inside of the card base. Remove the adhesive backing and close the card. Press the edges of the card base together for a secure seal.
Pull on the Mint Macaron half circle or the braided linen thread to remove the card insert.
The half circle tab was created by punching a 1" circle from a piece of Mint Macaron cardstock, scoring it in half, and adhering it to the card insert. Then a 1/4" circle was punched from the center of the half circle tab. A 5" piece of 3/16" Braided Trim was used to create a lark's head knot through the hole.
To make a lark's head knot, fold the Braided Trim in half. Push the fold through the 1/4" hole about half way through. Bring the two tail ends over the card insert and through the loop made by the card insert and the fold in the trim. Pull the two tail ends to tighten the knot.
A pocket style card is a fun way to send a special note to a loved one. The card insert will even fit a gift card! Simply add a bit of adhesive such as SNAIL or a glue dot® or two to the back of the gift card and press it in place on the card insert. Write your message below the gift card.
Stay tuned for additional July on My Mind Paper Pumpkin Kit alternative projects!
