Santa Owls on covered clothespins, holding little Petite Pocket Treats.  Thought I’d show you two of them because the one on the right is the one that works best.  The Tagged for Christmas tag on the left is too high – making it harder to open the package.  To do the tag – Dimensionals are placed just on the bottom so that the flap on the Petite Pocket can just tuck in.  Here’s a side view.

I tend to give lots of gift cards to my teenage nieces and nephew.  It’s just easier for that age group- LOTS easier!  You can use the Big Shot Petite Pocket die to wrap up gift cards in a snap!



This is so easy – die cut the Petite Pocket (I used the glitter dots from Holly Berry Bouquet) and adhere a very thin strip down of Real Red down the middle.  Add a Real Red satin bow and a Crumb Cake tag stamped with Dear Santa – and you’ve got a cute gift card holder.  Almost makes me feel guilty – it’s so easy!  Here’s a note – I do not adhere the sides of the pocket together when using it for gift tags.  A brad on the back holds the holder together just fine.  You can adhere it if you want – it’s just a bit snug that way and if that’s what you’re going for – it works!

And a sneak peek – Bordering on Romance from the upcoming Occasions Mini.  (I just had to stop and play with new stuff!)

I’m having some really strange computer problems this morning.  It’s only raining outside so I’m not sure what the problem could be.  I have a definite love/hate relationship with my computer.  Enjoy!  Hugs, Fran

This is a project from the Louisville Regionals – and it probably seems a bit early.  Made with the Petite Pocket die, the little book holds notes (or gift cards!) They used the stamp set You Are Loved from the Holiday Mini – I used Delightful Dozens and Best Friends Forever. 




Each pocket is cut slight smaller than the next.  They are attached together with the ribbon.  My goal for this weekend is to remake this in a Christmas theme – and keep this one for Valentine Day.  Hope you’re having a great start to the weekend!  Hugs, Fran

Petite Pocket Box

You can use the Petite Pocket die to make a cute little box! 





You will need 4 Petite Pockets and 2 of the closure circles.  One each Petite Pocket, cut off one side tab and all but one inch from the bottom flap –



Adhere all the piece together by attaching them at the flaps –



Then you attach the last flap to the cut side, fold in the bottom and you have a box!  Put the two closure circles on two opposite top flaps and use your Crop a Dile to punch.  Tie with a ribbon –





All of these are decorated with one of the circles from the Perfect Pennant die.  The scallop designs matches the scallop design on the Scallop Trim punch!  I’ve also used a frame from Frame It to decorate the centers.  Around the bottoms I’ve wrapped the scallop trim pieces from Tasteful Trim Big Shot die. 





I hope you’ll try this box and let me know how it works for you! Enjoy!  Hugs, Fran

Creative Elements Pocket Album

This is the Pocket Album I showed at convention –


The front is stamped with Creative Elements and has several Beau Chateau SIde Notes – and a vintage tag with an antique brad – to decorate.  Here’s the inside –



To make the album you need two 6 x 12 pieces of card stock (Pink Pirouette) scored in half for the covers and a 6 x 12 piece of card stock scored at every inch for the accordion middle.  The cover is attached on each end of the accordion.  Make 5 Petite Pockets (3 in Pink Pirouette and 2 in Marina Mist) and attach them to the exposed accordion folds.  I added some inside pockets and some more Side Notes (because I just love them!) 



Inside each pocket I put a note card like the one above.  The ribbon to tie it closed is run through the back cover piece only.  I used my hobby blade to cut a slit on the folded edge so it could run all the way through.  Enjoy!  Hugs, Fran

Petite Pocket gift card Holder

The Petite Pocket can hold a gift card!  It works best if you don’t seal the sides closed – just fold them in.  (note – a gift card will fit if you seal it, but it’s tight!) The closure keeps it safely inside.  Here’s one made by die cutting it in Pink Pirouette and then embossing the front with the oval Designer Frame embossing folder. 


The folder doesn’t end up exactly center (because you don’t want to emboss the top flap) so it leaves a wonderful spot for embellishing!  I chose a rose. (You can find the video for the rose on Stampin Up’s Youtube area.)  Then I used the wide oval punch to punch out some Pink Pirouette DSP for the center of the oval.  Add a sentiment – and you have a darling gift card holder!  For the closure on the back I punched some small flowers with the Boho Blossom punch!




Enjoy!  Hugs, Fran

Petite Pocket Note Card

I didn’t mean to leave you hanging last week!  My mom and I made a last minute trip to visit my niece at camp.  It was a long trip but very worth getting to see her!  So I promise to make it up to you this week.  I’ll start with a Petite Pocket Note Card. 


I die cut the Petite Pocket in Rose Red and cut off the side flaps of the pocket.  Then I die cut just the front of the pocket with the First Edition DSP – careful that you turn the writing the correct way (don’t ask me how I know this!)  On the DSP I sponged the edges and stamped the stem image from Flower Fancy in Always Artichoke.  Punch 5 scallop circles and wad them up!  “Un-wad” them and stack them on top of each other.  Pierce them in the center and insert a Pretty in Pink brad to hold them together.  Then start with the top layer and pull each scallop up until you have a carnation.  Use crystal Effects or a glue dot to adhere to the front. 



Use one of the circles from the die to create the closure.  Insert a brad and use a dimensional to make it hold the bottom shut.  Stamp Just for You from Teeny Tiny WIshes on Pink Pirouette DSP and punch out with the 3/4 x 15/16 oval (what a name!) 



Line the inside with Pink Pirouette DSP.  Use the Crop a Dile to punch a hole in the upper left corner and tie a piece of Always Artichoke seam bindng through it.  Now you can tie it on a package!



An unconventional way to use this wonderful die!  I’ll show you more tomorrow!  Enjoy – Hugs, Fran
