Over the past two days, I’ve shared the cards I made for my Online Stamp-a-Long. The cards feature different ways to decorate a simple pocket fold card. If you missed the first two cards, you can see the first one hereand see the second one here. The first card features a large overlay, and the second card features a belly band. Today’s card features a large circle that overlaps the fold – as simple as can be. Here’s a perfect-for-him card with Allison Okamitsu’s pocket fold and products from the He’s All That Suite:
How simple? How sweet? It might look like an ordinary card, but when you follow the arrow, a little surprise starts to appear.
The pocket is perfect for a gift card and a little note. I stamped this “Happy Father’s Day” sentiment on a torn notebook punch out from the He’s the Man Specialty Designer Series Paper – so cool, huh? Here’s a closer look:
The panels on the front of the pocket card, the notebook piece inside the card and the arrow on the front are all pulled from the He’s the Man Specialty Designer Series Paper – such a great pack! Here’s a look at the colors and patterns in this pack of papers:
The sentiment on the outside and the sentiment on the inside are pulled from the He’s All That stamp set. Here’s a look at the stamps and coordinating dies in the He’s All That Bundle:
If you want to build your own pocket fold card, you don’t have to follow my measurements – here’s how you can build your own pocket fold card in any dimensions you want:
- landscape – on a 4-1/4″ x 11″ piece of cardstock, score at any given length to serve as the pocket flap (1″, 1-1/2″ or 2″work well). Then add a score line 5-1/2″ away from the first score line.
- portrait – on a 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ piece of cardstock, score at any given length to serve as the pocket flap (1″, 1-1/2″ or 2″ work well). Then add a score line 4-1/4″ away from the first score line.
How easy was that?! Play around with the measurements you like most and then design your card with the papers, inks and stamps you most love.
I love the gorgeous mix of warm and sweet colors in this pack of papers. If you like the combination of Mint Macaron, Cajun Craze and Early Espresso as much as I do, I hope you will save this for future reference:

I love pocket folds. They’re probably one of my favorite cards to make! This one does not disappoint. Simple yet classy. Thanks for the inspiration Brian .
