Pocket cards template anyone?

[Karol]

I can be pretty anal sometimes and need explicit directions. Does anyone have a template or directions for making a pocket card?

Thanks for asking.......I remember seeing an instruction last week but didnt get to save it and now I need to do one. So please .......

Hi & welcome to you both!

If people do a search, you should be able to find many threads with info on pocket cards:



I typed in "pcket card" and found this one.

Sketch challenge for pocket cards
The above link will take you to the challenge for pocket cards just in case you haven't seen it. Andrea has a little sketch and also explains how to make one. Check out all the post for inspiration! I did one for the first time with the challenge and I'm hooked on pocket cards now. Check it out and enjoy, it's very easy. Also as avonlea showed you on how to search will bring up different folds for a pocket card. I've seen some great ones in the gallery.

What mamaK told me was take your 8.5x11 and cut it long way at 4 1/4. So you have a strip that is 8.5x4.25. Then score it long ways at 5.5 and then at like 9 inches. Fold at the 5.5 mark, then fold the extra piece down on the front. SHe said she usually cuts a bit off that little flap because she doesn't like it that big. Good Luck!

They're really easy to do the way Emily says above. That's how I did mine before the Sketch was posted. (And actually still do it that way cuz it's so easy!)

Doesn't get any easier than the above!!! ;) Far less cumbersome than dealing with a template! Very well explained!
