Thank you for stopping by today to see what me and the Creative Team have created using The Enchanting Pocket Card, Tag, and Envelope. This set has many different options to make your creations stand out! It is a sweet gift card-sized envelope that doubles as a card front pocket. The bonus is that there is a tag too that doubles as a label. It can be used year-round, dressed up or dressed down, and themed for any occasion. Using the different inlay and insert designs, you can cut and make unique variations to keep the design fresh!

There are 14 dies included in the Enchanting Pocket Card, Tag and Envelope from the Amazing Paper Grace December 2021 Die of the Month.
My Project Today using Enchanting Pocket Card, Tag and Envelope.
With every die I design, I try to make a box – I honestly make as many boxes as I do cards because I love having an ensemble look. This design shouts out for making a box, so I did! For this box, I cut four tags with the score bar in place. The four tags are glued together, north — south — east — west to create a square in the center. I covered the square with cardstock of the same color. The dimensions of the box are 4″ x 4″ x 4″.
Along with my box, I styled a card with the matching layout so that I’d have a gift ensemble. I used the tag and a filigree insert as the focal point.
Designer Tip: The pocket die has bars that create score lines however, for the crispest, sharpest folds I recommend reinforcing the mark using your scoreboard.
Here is the original gift card I made as the inspiration for the die. This video will show you how —–> HERE
The card and the box were made to complete the ensemble! So easy!

Wow you have topped yourself again! These dies are so gorgeous and versatile. What lovely makes can be made from these. I know I won’t get them in time for Christmas; but next year I am using this set for making tags to hang on the Christmas tree. The inside of tag will have a unique holiday picture. Kids will open up their “gift card” and then the treasure hunt for their package that matches their gift card picture begins. (A Christmas twist on the Easter egg hunt!). Wish you and your team a Merry Christmas and much holiday fun. May all your love ones all be with you.ReplyCancel

Good morning lovelies, it’s that time again! Time for a new Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month. This one has been on my list for eons and I finally vetted it and worked it out. Please say hello to the Enchanting Pocket Card, Tag, and Envelope for the Amazing Paper Grace December 2021 Die of the Month – it’s so many things wrapped up in one. It’s a gift card holder, it’s a tag, it’s a pocket card and an enclosure card all rolled up into one sweet package. This is one that will float up to the top of my tool box for a long time to come, because I’m always reaching for these items.

Inspiration for the Enchanting Pocket Card, Tag and Envelope
That’s right, I pen cards and little notes all the time and was simply looking for something slightly elegant but not too over the top fancy to put them in. Enter the Enchanted Pocket. It is just the right size for a gift card, lol, because I give them allllllllll the time. The top was decorative so I thought it would be amazing to use to use as a card focal point – so I created the tag. Coincidentally enough, the tag folds in half and fits in the envelope for a decorative card. Again mission accomplished – a multipurpose die that has a very specific function but is also quite pretty when used for decoration.
What’s Inside the Enchanting Pocket Card, Tag and Envelope
This month’s set comes with 14 dies. The Main Pocket, three decorative inserts, three scoring bars, two flowers, two sprigs and a tag shape.
Check out the video to see how easy it is to create a gift card holder:

More Inspiration for the Enchanting Pocket Card, Tag and Envelope
I couldn’t resist making this into a mini album. All it took was 10 cuts of the tag die. The were placed back to back to make finished surfaces for mini pictures. I created my own accordion fold binding but you could also use my Universal Accordion Fold Spine die.
This was the main inspiration for this set – I love giving gift cards and wanted something that could go from plain for men to ultra feminine or women – and in only a couple of steps. I actually got more than I bargained for – it also makes a sweet set of enclosure cards or mini note cards.
Last but certainly not least, the basket. I took four enclosure cards, glued them together on the bottom and attached a handle. It cannot get easier than that!! It makes into a 4″ x 4″ basket which is just enough for favors and small things but not too large where you would have trouble filling it.
I hope you are already feeling the joy of the holiday season! Please weigh in on the comments and let me know something you’ve done recently to welcome the upcoming season of thankfulness.

A beautiful new die set. I see the versatility of it. Your designs, as usual, are so graceful with a touch of vintage.
Thank you for sharing and for yet another great blog hop.ReplyCancel
In the past I have loved creating layering dies to go along with all the other romantic dies that go into making a card. Those layering dies are so special because their edges peek out from underneath the layers where they flood the card with clean edges, structure, and class. These layers define those above them and since they are made of classic shapes, they even layer together well. Today we are introducing a new set of die cutting classics – I’m so tickled to introduce The Fluted Classics Collection.

The Fluted Classics Inspiration
The crimped and pierced edges are reminiscent of a pie edge or the edge on a sealed bag but if you look closely they almost resemble a blanket stitch. Either way, it’s a delightful edge that draws your eye into the center of a card. Nest the outer and inner rims with the insert to cut a tailored frame or for a beautiful background edge to any layering design. Keep it simple and you can die cut a solid shape with just an outer rim. The Fluted Classics come in circle, square, oval, and rectangle shapes. We’ve also added a slimline version for those card makers who want to create an elegant and trendy silhouette.
Today I used the delicious texture of the dies to highlight a sentiment. I took two of the Fluted Classic Squares and intertwined them for visual interest. My Glimmer Hot Foil “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year” sentiment fit inside quite nicely and then I embellished diagonal corners of the card to draw your eye in. There are lots of slanted lines in my card today, that’s one of my favorite things to do with a square die. In fact, setting one square horizontally and one square on point make for a fabulous frame.
Designers Tip: Although you can cut without embossing, the embossing feature on this set of dies creates a deep impression that is stunning.

Slowly but surely I fit in a Christmas Card here and there. I know the time to send them is drawing near but I tell you it’s as therapeutic for me to make them as it is to send them. I won’t be sending out a big stack this year, but it won’t stop me from making more. How are your plans coming together in this new normal? I’m near family for the first time in more than 10 years and it’s my gift that has already been opened for the holidays. I’m so grateful. And, even though I experience struggles getting back to normal after all the recent events, I’m holding on to these good days. I hope my post finds you grateful, healthy, and happy.
Love this die set! The pattern is great and adds subtle sophisticated bling to the card. Top of my wish list! To you and your team – Wish you all a wonderful Thanksgiving!ReplyCancel
