#10 Envelope Candy Bar Pocket Tutorial

Hi Everyone!! A few days ago I did a video tutorial for a "#10 Envelope Tag/Pocket Card" shown above but I wanted to create a pocket for a Hershey bar and decided the best and fastest way to do it is to use the same envelope design as the one shown in the video tutorial but modify the size. I had posted the tutorial on this tag/pocket project on my "Stampin Inspirations Club Site" a few days ago.,

So this Valentines Candy Bar Pocket is what I came up with and I posted the written tutorial below. You may also view the video tutorial to create a smaller pocket with a tag which can also be used as a goody bag holder.

I used my Pink Cat Studio Lily & Billy Sweethearts stamp set because Billy is such a cutie. I had colored the image a few days ago to be used for the sneak peeks but didn't use it.

I colored the image with my Copic markers and cut the heart using my Sizzix heart die. I then cut around the heart with my Fiskar mini scallop scissors. Anyway, scroll down for the written tutorial of this project.

To customize your pocket so you can fit different size candy bars, place the candy bar on the envelope and measure approximately 1/2" above the height of the candy bar.

Mark the envelope and cut the envelope based on your marking.

At the opening of the envelope, measure from the corner one inch down the side of the envelope and mark with a pencil. Do this on both sides.

At the opening of the envelope, measure from the corner, measure one inch across the top and mark with the pencil. Do this on both corners.

Based on your markings, cut a 1" triangle off the corners as shown in the picture.

Fold one flap down (sealed side) as shown in the picture.

With the 5 1/4 x 4 1/8" designer paper, cover the front of the pocket under the flap.

If you are customizing your pocket, measure the width and length of the pocket up to the fold line of the flap and cut a designer paper based on your measurements. Cover the front with the customized designer paper.

To customize the size of the designer paper to fit any candy bar desired. Measure the width of the candy bar and times that measurement by two and add 1/2" to the measurement.
