Shine Bright

Hey everybody! I hope you’ve had a great week – they sure do seem to be passing by at a rapid rate these days… Christmas will be upon us before we know it! I have a pretty ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share with you today, created with the awesome September 2024 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades. The papers in this month’s kit are really fun and pair very well with the upgrades. This diagonal pocket card is truly one of the easiest cards to make and the end result is very cool. It can be dressed up or down depending upon the occasion. The card base is simply an embellished pocket with a top-folding mini card tucked inside. I used papers and stickers from the collection along with die cut pieces and rub-ons from the upgrades, and I love how this turned out!

The card base is 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ scored at 4-1/4″ which I cut from CutCardStock Basis Dark Orange. I sliced the front flap off at an angle (from top left to bottom right) and glued the flap across the bottom to form the pocket. Next, I embellished the diagonal border with a floral rub-on from the upgrades and then added a very thin strip of the paper used to make the mini card. Finally, I added a large die cut from the upgrades to the diagonal flap and adhered a sentiment with adhesive foam squares.

The mini card is 3-1/2″ x 9-1/2″ scored at 4-3/4″ which I cut from a double-sided paper in the kit and embellished with a die cut and sentiment (being mindful of the placement so it wouldn’t show outside the diagonal border of the pocket). I cut a 3-3/8″ x 4-5/8″ panel for the inside of the mini card from Solar White cardstock which I embellished with a leftover piece of the thin strip used to make the mini card. I also added sentiment and image stickers from the sticker sheet. The finishing touch was adding several clear gemstones to the front of the mini card.
