Thank you Teri for the wonderful blog candy! I definitely will put good use to these awesome stuff!!

Here is a pocket card I made this morning. It was just sort of a random decision to make a pocket card. I had a scrap piece of designer paper and cardstock in my scrap pile. I folded it like a "gate fold" card and folded the bottom to create a pocket. I then tied a ribbon around it. That's it. There's no template or anything that I followed. It was just a random sort of thing, KWIM?!!

I stamped the sentiment and image on to a tracing paper, not Vellum. They're similar but the tracing paper is a little thinner than vellum but the end result is similar.

Nothing much else to this pocket card.

Here is the card out of the pocket. It's just a simple design. Lately, I'm drawn to simplicity. Just a change to my normal busy cards!! Sometimes simple is good. . .don't you agree? It's sure faster to make a simple card!! I love it!
