Hey everybody! I hope you've had a great week and have something fun planned this weekend. Leslie here, sharing my debut project as a new design team member for Emily Moore Designs, and I couldn’t be more excited! I created a fun sloth-themed diagonal pocket card featuring the totally awesome Gift Card Holder Die With a Bow and Mini Gift Tag Holiday Sayings (free download). This is a super easy card to create for any occasion, and you’re going to love it!
The card base is 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″ which I cut from black cardstock. I sliced the front flap off at an angle (from top left to bottom right) and adhered two prints from a sloth-themed paper pad to the diagonal flap and inside back. Next, I glued the flap across the bottom to form the pocket and added horizontal and vertical strips cut from red cardstock to align with the bow detail on the mini card (details on that coming up in a minute). The finishing touch was adding three trees to the card base, fussy cut from an ephemera sheet in the sloth paper pad.
I created the base for the mini card using the gift card holder die in the set, cut from the black cardstock. I cut a flap from another print in the sloth paper pad measuring 3-1/2" x 5-1/4" and scored at 1/2" on the long side, which I adhered to the gift card holder base.
Using the bow dies in the set, I created the bow from the red cardstock and set it aside. I cut another set of horizontal and vertical strips which I adhered to the front of the mini card, lining up with the strips on the card base. I adhered the bow, popping the left side up on adhesive foam squares so the mini card will slide in and out of the pocket nicely.
I printed the Mini Gift Tag Holiday Sayings on white cardstock. I cut one of them with the mini gift tag die in the set, tied a gold metallic thread bow, and adhered it with a thin adhesive foam square. I fussy cut a couple more pieces of ephemera from the sloth paper pad and adhered them to the inside center of the mini card base so they’re hidden under the gift card.
