Flower Pocket Tag Set
This is an easy and fun set of pocket tags, I called them the Flower Pocket Tags because they are about the size of a package of flower seeds. I also wanted to include the 'plant stakes' just for a little something extra. I will have the cutting guide below with directions (they are quite easy, so no worries, and if you need any help, just let me know I will be happy to offer aid).
The set of 3 Flower Pocket Tags with their 'plant stakes'.
I have used Blue Fern papers along with yellow seam binding that I wet, inked and crumpled then dried. I thought the bright yellow was a bit too much for this particular paper, but the inking made it perfect. I have inked everything, the cardstock, papers, seam binding and embellishments.
I rounded the bottoms of the 'plant stakes' and they slide in and out with ease. The embellishments I had in my stash and wanted to use items that would also compliment the theme as well as the papers. I LOVE dimension, so I will normally add embellishments that stand out or up, I just love how it really makes a project POP!
I inked the piece of white paper doily to again give it that 'aged' look.
The large butterfly has some sparkle on it...although it doesn't show very well in the picture.
I think I really love this one. The white paper doily is inked and under the pattern paper, the seam binding that I used on all 3 pocket tags was again inked and made into a simple loop with a jeweled big butterfly on top. I kept the embellishments on the 'plant stakes' a bit layed back, as I wanted that beautiful jeweled butterfly to take the most attention.
You could also use these pocket tags to hold other things..notes, cards or more tags.
I had to do a close up of that pretty butterfly. Just gorgeous!
Here is the cutting guide:
Flower Pocket Tags Cutting Guide
Cardstock:
(3) 9 1/2 X 4 1/4 with 4 1/4 across the top score @ 1/2 & 3 3/4
Burnish score lines
With the 9 1/2 across the top score @ 4 1/4 burnish score line.
On the top half measuring 5 1/4, cut both sides along the score lines to remove both of the side 1/2" sections. Round the top corners. I used a 1/2" corner rounder.
On the bottom half miter all corners. I used a 1" round punch to punch the thumb hole on the bottom portion (when folded would be the top front)
Pattern Papers
(3) 5 x 3 (Inside pocket papers)
(3) 4 x 3 (Pocket fronts papers)
NOTE:
Before assembling, ink all cardstock and pattern papers.
Stick down the inside pattern papers 'before' gluing down the pocket front.
Apply glue to the front side sections that have been scored and burnished, stick it down.
Add pattern papers to the fronts.
Add embellishments as you like.
*I made (3) 'plant stakes' using chipboard scraps cut @ 5 1/2 x 1 and (3) cut @ 1 x 1 1/2 for each pocket tag. I cut matching cardstock to cover the bare chipboard stakes (3) cut @ 1 x 1 1/2. Papers for the stakes were scraps cut @ 5 1/8 x 7/8. The top pieces of the stakes can be embellished as you wish.
