Default TLC164 - Double Pocket Card

TLC164: Double Pocket Card
Pocket cards are always fun to make and receive, and here is a new twist on a pocket card which is twice as much fun: a Double Pocket Card. {Maybe they are not ‘new’, but they are new to me!}

I found this card and then a tutorial by Judy, and had to give it a try!
Judy's card:

My card:

Here are the directions:

Please use keyword TLC164 and 'double pocket card' as keywords when you upload.

My first thought was - this is too hard. But the tutorial is very good. I plan to try this. Thanks for the challenge.

Wow! Thanks so much, Beth, for finding this fabulous card! I've not seen the double pocket either. And thanks, Judy, for the fabulous card as well as your fantastic tutorial. OH! Aaaaand all that great music on your blog, he. I had a very pleasant time listening while making my card. Loved it!

My card is somewhat simple. I can barely find my desk so the embellishments are around here somewhere. he. I used card stock and a BIT of DSP. Instead of folding my last flap foreward, I adhered my front pocket and folded my last flap BACK to create a card that opens as well as having pockets.

The little Close to Cocoa piece represents a gift card to our local Coffee Crossing (coffee shop.) Life IS good!

CARD and

CARD - OPEN

OMG! I did it. I sacrificed a piece of my DP that I save for scrapbooking (I use the left overs on my cards.) The double pocket card was super easy... great tutorial. Now I need to make the inserts. BBL

This looks like such a great project! I love that there is so little cutting & it's mostly folding - all out of 1 sheet of paper! I can see this with a bookstore gift card in 1 pocket and a bookmark in the other pocket. Can't wait to try it!

Thanks Beth for finding this technique. Thanks Judy for an awesome tutorial. I agree with several ladies, that I thought it was going to be a lot harder than I thought. Judy's tutorial was very easy to follow.

Here is my card:

Let me know what you think.

I saw a great version of the double card last week, but there were no directions. I did not have time to look the directions up, but thought that I REALLY need to try one of these cards! TOO CUTE!
