Double Pocket card Tutorial
Here is the promised tutorial for the double pocket card.
I made this card for my downline Stephanie, who is expecting her first baby in November.
The bottle in the front pocket is a Target gift card.
Stamps: Event Full, All in a Row, Hugs & Wishes, Dot Spot (on the card base)
Ink:Black Stazon; Classic inks: Bashful Blue, Summer Sun and Old Olive
Paper: Bashful Blue, Whisper White, Old Olive and Basic Black cardstock, Cutie Pie and Petals & Paisley designer paper
Acc.: Sponges, ticket corner punch, photo corner punch, tag corner punch, 1″ circle punch, vintage brads, EE brads, sticky strip, Bella Fibers, Paper piercing tools, Pewter paper clip, Aqua painter

Supplies:
-
Paper cutter with scoring blade, or extra scoring tool (I used Scor Pal)
-
One 5″ x 10 1/2″ piece of cardstock for your pocket base
-
Designer paper to decorate the pockets if wanted
-
Card base and extra cardstock if needed
-
Stamps
-
Ink
-
Sticky Strip
-
Embellishments
Step one:
Score your paper at 3 1/2″ and 7″ on the long side.
Step two:
Fold your cardstock accordion style.
Step three:
Cut down your panels. Leave one full size, cut the middle panel down a bit and the outer panel down even more.
My panels measure 2 1/4″, 3 1/8″ and full size in height. But you can make them any size you want.
Step four:
Add patterned paper to your panels if wanted. You could also stamp your panels, if you choose a lighter color then the black in this sample.
Step five (only for All in a Row addicts):
Add Faux Stitching now, if you want to add it. It’s easier then trying to make it look good over all the different layers.
Step six:
Add Sticky Strip to the left side of the middle panel as well as on the bottom (NOT SHOWN, sorry). Tape middle panel to your full panel.
Step seven:
Add tape to the right and bottom of your smallest layer. Tape down.
Your double pocket is now done. Make tags and either give away like this, or add to card front.
Play with it. Change the size up. I can’t wait what you do with it. If you make one…link to this thread so we can all see it.
I love this!! And isn’t that baby bottle the cutest little accent?!?! I will certainly be trying this one out, hopefully this afternoon. Thanks for the inspiration!
Absolutely cute card. Your downline will love it!
I love this Beate, what a great idea! One can never have to many pockets, lol! I’ll be trying this out for sure! Thanks again!

OMGosh, I’ve been loving your double pocket cards. Now that you’ve got the tutorial posted I have no excuse not to try one. So I did: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/673746?cat=500&ppuser=48481. I definitely need more practice but it was fun and I think I’ll try more.
My card is from Issaquah, Washington.

Here’s my Double Pocket http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/690189?cat=500&ppuser=69424
Have I mentioned I LOVE making these? This idea came in so handy for a project to use paper that intimidates you…and like you, I’m not a fan of purple, but I think this came out nicely in the end. Thanks for the continued inspiration Beate!

Here’s my take on the double pocket card. Love the way all the DP from a color family from SU goes together. My SIL really seemed pleased with it so that made me happy. Even my brother seemed to notice.
Thanks for the great tutorial among so many!
