Hi there sweet friends!! I had a ball yesterday with the pocket card and it literally opened the door for some other stamps I wanted to revisit because I originally thought them to be too large. I love this format!!
As I said yesterday, I can make use all the decorative elements on the card that I want and still use a huge stamp or huge sentiment. The stamp I’m using today is one of my favorite girl friend stamps from Inky Antics. I love to send this sentiment just to get a laugh and a “I know, right?!?” I made the same pocket card as yesterday but this one is 5 1/2″ x 7 1/4″. I’ll be delivering this one, so no envelope needed but if it did I would simply protect the flower with the ring from an empty spool of ribbon and put it in a bubble wrap envelope or I would rework without the dimensional flower. I’m rolling in cute today so I surrendered, okay? Doesn’t that sentiment just crack you up? I flipped the panel that belongs in the pocket and put this on the flip side. I’ve had this stamp for a long time but it will never, never go out of style in my book :-) Easy, easy, I tell ya!
You see it all together now. On the right is the pocket part of the card, on the left is the flip side of the front panel and the inside has the same type of paper as is on the front panel. It all makes me smile! Hope you are having a fab day too!

HI Becca,

As always your a wonderful inspiration to all of us!
Gorgeous card!!! I must try this and I really “need” that punch!! It’s a new one to me. Love your inspiration and tutorials, Becca!

This is so whimsical for you Becca and I am loving seeing this side of you! The pocket card is such a fun style and with this stamp, it goes from fun to funny!
I’m with you on this stamp, it will never go out of style! :) I’m intrigued with the border punch. I’m going to have to look for it. Thank you for another great card.
Cute sentiment. I’m not a big chocolate fan (gasp!) but can appreciate those who are LOL! Great card and love the tip about using the ribbon spool around the flower for protection while mailing – brilliant!
I’m really enjoying your pocket cards, and thanks for the video tutorial. It made it so much easier to understand what your verbal tutorial meant. You are simply amazing, that you can design & produce all these lovely creations, along with all the many ‘day-to-day’ chores you must have to do, just like the rest of us. Plus keep up a blog. How DO you do it????!!!! But I hope you can keep up with the cards, even if your other chores must fall to the wayside (LOL! Like mine do!) TFS
Oh what a wonderful girl friend stamp! I have got to find that one.. Thanks for making me smile real big with chocolate all over my face.
Oh MY!!! Now I need another border punch! What a beautiful card and I love the punch! *sigh*
Sweet card!!! Love the colors and especially the flower!! Is there anyway you could e-mail me with directions for the flower and the white center? Would very much appreciate it!! Blessings
Oh Becca this is sooo beautiful, and I agree with everybody else here, it sure put a sile on my face too, to read this sentiment here ha ha ha, and I agree, it´ll NEVER get out of fashion, as there´ll always be chocolate lovers around he he he.

This is fabulous!!! I WANT that paper, and I love the punch. I may yet end up in the poorhouse! You are so gifted, Becca. TFS!
It cannot help but bring a big wide smile to your face when you look at this fun and fabulous card. Positively adorable and playful. Love it to bits. Almost as much as chocolate!
How did you do the flower on the CHOCOLATE CARD. I love it and all you do.
Becca, your card is so super cute. I love your recipe card all about chocolate it made me smile. as always Becca, TFS!!! :-D
LOVE your cute pocket card! I’d stop eating chocolate but I’m no quitter!

Thanks for sharing!!! :)
Another amazing and beautiful card!!
Another winner! Love the stamp and a perfect setting for it! Thanks for sharing.

LOVE that stamp!!
Becca how do you keep coming up with these wonderful things. That stamp gave me a much needed chuckle and now I am off to check out the Antics. Thanks for all your hard work and wonderful talent.
I love your card..where do I get the chinese knott chain punch? Never On my list for ” Must have.” :o)
What a delightful card this is! I love the colors! I love the sentiment! Really nice. And I just had a piece of chocolate. Time to go finish up the other piece. Thanks Becca!
Hi Becca ~ how do you do it!! Each card is as beautiful or more so than the last one!! Thank you so very much for sharing. Blessings!
TOO, TOO CUTE!!!!! I LIKE Inky Antics!!!! Have a few of their stamps myself! The colors you chose look like a candy shop!!!! :) This is a WONDERFUL card!!! :)
Hi Becca ~ How do you do it! Each card is as beautiful or more so than the last one!! Thank you so very much for sharing. Blessings.
You are never alone when you eat chocolate. Great card! Keep up the good work.
I’m loving these pocket cards!! Your work is always “amazing”!
Great sentiment and another beautiful card. Thanks Becca!
I couldn’t agree more. In fact, isn’t chocolate one of the food groups?
It sure makes every day a bit more enjoyable!
Love the card, love the stamp even more!! Whoever it’s for is a lucky gal!

How fun! Overflowing with cute and clever artistry. Thank you once again for the inspiration!
Each new creation seems to out do the last one. Simply beautiful. I understand how you made the white center part of the flower using the Chinese Knot Chain punch, but what are the scalloped blue/pink die cuts behind the white center? They add a nice touch.. It’s a joy to visit your blog daily – Thank-you for blessing us Becca.
What a wonderfully beautiful card and funny at the same time. I love it and I love all your work, Becca. What an inspiration you are to many of us. Loads of hugs to you.
Great card!! That is so true about chocolate!! Now that is a great stamp!
Love this card. This is too cute!
Love the card and love chocolate too!!
Beautiful card.
Such a lovely card! Haven’t ever read that chocolate accolade before – so funny :o)
Hugs

This is an adorable card! What a great chocolate saying. Perfect for your pocket card!
Your flower of the Loom tutorial inspired me to make one. After making a few lopsided ribbon flowers, I added a cutout round of sponge inside the box and poked the nail through; from the bottom, to hold the center nail straight to insure the flower would be in round and balanced. Your design abilities are magical and your designs are breathtaking. I will look for the prima papers at Michael’s as they would be lovely behind a ribbon flower.
Becca, I look at your site often and admire all the beautiful cards you show, I have even tried to duplicate a few. The paper looks great and would love to add it to my supplies.
You do the neatest projects. I just love them, and enjoy looking at them. I am a Chrisitan too….He is soooo good, gives us talents to work with and friends who share that love. Blessings, Rosie West, Sheridan, IN
Yum…..chocolate…..I know someone who is alergic to chocolate and said that would be their last meal when they knew it was their last day on earth… don’t blame them. : ) God bless……denice
