Pocket Full of Love and Tags!

This pocket card is packed with charm and little surprises. Don’t you just adore Odie? I’ve colored him to match my good friend’s pup. I love that she rescued this sweet little guy. He has been the perfect addition to the family.

What Makes This Card Special:

• Surprise Interactive Card: There’s something magical about an interactive card! Whether it’s pulling out a hidden message or discovering a sweet little tag, these fun surprises make handmade cards even more special.
• Playful Pattern Papers: Bright and cheerful patterns add personality and make everything pop.
• That Adorable Pup! Seriously, how cute is that little underbite and those tiny teeth?

The pocket holds two sweet tags, perfect for an extra note and they can be saved to be used as a bookmark. I’ve mixed sentiments from stamps and ephemera with the die cuts and ribbon to make each one special. The ink blended edges of the pattern paper and distressed ribbon give it a warm, unified feel. It’s playful, it’s heartfelt, and it’s just plain fun to make!

Creative Tips & Techniques:

• Think Beyond the Card: These tags could also be a gift to be saved as bookmarks or even mini art pieces!
• Make a Sturdy Pocket: Use foam tape to make sure your tags slide in and out smoothly.
• Personalized Coloring: Match the dog’s fur color to a real life pup for a fun, custom touch.
• Blend for Depth: Ink blending around the edges of the paper pieces gives everything a soft, finished look.
• Distress that Ribbon: Dab your ribbon into some watered down ink to distress it to match your card.
