Hi there friends!!! Today I thought I would have one more go at a Mother’s Day Card. I’ve wanted to make a pocket card for the longest time and today I finally did it. Easy, easy, easy, and this one has a snazzy cut out! On my 6″ x 6″ card, I first designed the pocket and made the cutout with Spellbinders Grand Labels Four, making sure to emboss to get that nice professional edge. At the bottom of the card I cut/embossed a tag from Spellbinders Fancy Tags Two to affix the word Mother. Then I made a flat panel a little bit shy of 6″ and used Spellbinders Lattice Pendant and threaded a nice big bow through the panel; my sentiment is on the back! The recipient will pull the card and flip the panel around to find a nice long verse that I would have had trouble fitting on the front :-) (By the way, I used the other part of the cutout that makes to pocket as a part of the panel on the back – no wasting, right!?!). This solves a problem I have a lot of time in that I love huge stamps. Once you stamp, there’s no place for a sentiment — ha-ha, now I can use a pocket card to have my cake and eat it too!!
For this card I’m using a newer set (Mother’s Day) and an older set (Mom) from Our Daily Bread Designs; they were made to work together and have the same font set up so that if you purchased the Mom set last year – you’ll get more to use with it this year. I love the scripture and I hope it makes for a card that may be kept around, perhaps as a memento.
Of course this style is great for invitations and such but who needs to wait for a party? I’m gonna go back and haul out some of my larger stamps and big sentiments and give this another whirl :-)
| SUPPLIES I USED |
| Stamps: Our Daily Bread Designs – Mother’s Day, Mom Paper: Die Cuts With a View, Bazzill, Gold Foil Ink: Versamark and Gold Embossing Powder Accessories: Spellbinders Lattice Pendant, Spellbinders Fancy Tags Two, Spellbinder Grand Labels Four, pearls, ribbon |
Hugs to you all!! I’ll see you soon!
Just when I wonder how much more classy and creative you can possibly be, there you are with another great card! This is absolutely gorgeous…and I love the idea of using the cutout part for the poem. Super!

You never cease to amaze me! Just beautiful. Quick question…how much bigger did you make the pocket for the front? Have a great day. Really enjoy your work. Rbin
Beautiful!
Awesome!!!!!!!!!! But I think I am brain dead. I can’t picture how to do the pocket. I too would like some help.
Just gorgeous! I am really hoping, like a few others I read, that you will do a tutorial on this one. Gorgeous colors!
Very elegant! Beautiful!
Would you please consider posting how you did that…even the tag, how did you get the effect on the paper or was the paper already like that.
I have never seen anything like that and I love it!! Always looking for a new card style to try and that is one I am going to do!!
Thanks so much!
Jackie
OH, I’m a happy camper! I did my first cut and fold card today. . .without stabbing myself, I might add (I’m scissor challenged!) and. . .ta da! I used my new peg bow thingy! My bow turned out beautiful! Thanks, my friend, for all you teach me!
Becca this is one heck of a card you rock. For a wonderful person to receive mother are special.
Oh wow! That is beautiful!
Beautiful! I would love to have a go at a card like this, but I’m a bit confused. Would you be willing to do a video on it? That’s be great!!!
Beautiful card but could you take a picture of it with out the bow? Would love to see the card behind it!
WOW! Very, very pretty and elegant.

This has GOT to be one of the prettiest cards I’ve seen in a long long time!
(Apart your other fabulous cards, of course)! lol xxx
Love, love, love this pocket card. It looks very regal and my Mom would love to receive something like this.
This is very cool….where do you get your inspiration?
Hey Becca, What a beautiful card. But then all your cards are beautiful. And another smashing bow! Lovely way to commemorate mom’s special day.
Hugs, Jessica
A total WOW — LOVE how your brain works!!!
Becca, I love your pocket card and watched your great video. I see you do not use the Scor Pal scoring tool. What are you using and why? Sorry if you have already answered this question in previous posts. I look forward to seeing what you have created everyday on your blog, thanks.
Becca,
Your cards are beautiful and delightful. You seem to produce multitudinous amounts of them. What do you do with all your cards? Do you give them away, sell them, or are they stacking up in your house. LOL
I love pocket cards but to date I hadn’t seen any as clever or as pretty as this one. This looks like it was difficult to construct so I hope you’ll be doing a tutorial on it soon!
Thanks for sharing!

Oh, this is pretty and it sounds so easy! I’ll have to try this one out!
I just love this card, blue is one of my favorite colors and putting in the pocket really makes it so elegant looking. God bless…..denice
