I was asked for directions to the card I posted today. I originally posted this card last year and did not post the directions so I quickly took some pictures today to show how to put the front part of the card together. It is called a Tri-Fold Pocket card. As I mentioned in my earlier post, this product uses retired product such as the stamp set, Vintage Vogue, which can now be found in the Clearance Rack (many new items were added TODAY). The scallop square base has also retired but the scallop square from the Squares Collection Framelits would be a great substitution! Here are the steps for the piece that goes on top of the base.
Use a 4×12 piece of Designer Series Paper. Score it at 4 inches on both ends.
Fold on the score lines. Take the top left corner and bring it down to the opposite corner using the score line as your guide.
Do the same thing to the opposite side but bring the lower right hand corner up to the opposite corner again using the score line as your guide. Use snail to adhere these pieces that you just folded.
Add sticky strip as shown in the picture and fold this piece over to the center to create your pocket. (Please note that my pocket is on the opposite side in the directions. I hope this isn’t too confusing).
Next, attach this piece to your base. If you don’t have the Square Framelits, you could mount it on any size square.
Two inside pieces that can be used to write a personal note:
3 1/4 x 3 1/4 (purple)
3 x 3 (Whisper White)
On the outside, my pieces are
2 x 3 (purple)
1 3/4 x 2 3/4 (Whisper White)
When adhering the pieces for the outside, be sure to only put adhesive on half of the outer square so that you will be able to open your card! I hope this helps! If you would like to see some of the new items added to the Clearance Rack, you can visit my ONLINE STORE.

This card uses another item in the Clearance Rack, the stamp set, Vintage Vogue. I love this stamp set and again, I was so disappointed when it retired. If you love it too and want to pick it up at this discounted price, be sure to do it quickly before it sells out! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Another great item on the Stampin’ Up! Clearance Rack is the Snow Flurry Bigz Die for the Big Shot. I posted this card in December 2012 (you can see that post HERE).
I think it makes a very elegant looking card! If you would like to purchase this before it goes away, you can visit my online store HERE. Thanks so much for stopping by today!

It’s the day after Christmas! A time to sit in your pjs all day and do absolutely nothing or hop in your car to return gifts or get some good buys. I am a sit in your comfy PJs all day kind of girl.
Today I have a project that I posted in September 2012. I used the Cannery Set Framelits which can currently be found in the Clearance Rack (while supplies last). I was so sad when these retired but was very happy to see them show up on the Clearance Rack. There is a matching stamp set but it is no longer available. I used it for the top of my jar but using just the Framelits, you could use the jar top piece with a pretty piece of Designer Series Paper. That would look very cute! You can see my original post HERE.
