CARD WITH 2 POCKETS

(January 02, 2009)

This is a useful fold for making money cards - or to attach to a scrapbook page to hold journaling texts. There is a really clever trick to it - I love clever tricks!

This is what you are making

You will need a sheet of good quality double sides paper / light card. Don't use textured stuff because it cracks!

The method is the same for all sizes - but the size card you start with will give you different sized cards at the end.

12" x 12" will make a 6" card

8" x 8" will make a 4" card

6" x 6" will make a 3" card

Crease you card into 4, then unfold.

Fold the top right corner in half to the back.

Cut along the bottom centre line to the middle.

Fold about 1/4 of the bottom left corner to the front.

now the tricky part:

- fold section 1 up wards on to section 2.

- fold both sections over onto the top of section 3.

- fold the lot down wards on top of section 4

Now you have a card with 2 pockets in the front - clever eh?

I usually put a brad into the bottom left corner to hold all the layers flat. The front section opens as a proper card so you can add a greeting if you want to send money.
