Now I wanted to give you details about my special fold for a couple of cards that I created with different stamp sets but the same look.  You’ve been sending me messages and so I thought that today it would be amazing to send you those instructions.

Instructions for the Slide Out Card:

  • Cut a piece of cardstock at 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ (with one piece of cardstock 8 1/2 x 11 you make two card base)
  • Score that piece of cardstock at 1/2″ and at 4 1/2″
  • Fold your cardstock and on the 1/2″ piece of your cardstock, add Tear and Tape Adhesive.  (this will make your pouch stick together)
  • Use a circle punch of your choice to punch out a half circle.  (this opening will help you pull out the insert)
  • For the insert, cut a piece of cardstock at 3 7/8″ x 5 1/2″
  • You can add another piece of cardstock at 3 6/8″ x 5 1/4″ to layer on your insert
  • Use the Circle Tab Punch to punch out a piece of cardstock and add it at the top of your card insert

Voila! Have fun making these pretty cards!
