New Toy Alert

You all know just how much I like my BigShot and the cool dies and all. Well there is another great big die, called “Petite Pocket” (page 221) that one might overlook. But since I saw it used at convention, I had to have.

And I’ve already put it to use… and I really, really liked the outcome!

I needed some little giftcards and wanted to go a different route than my usual little card. So here is what I did:

I did some sponging on the outside to make it stand out a little more. And I used my new favorite “alphabet” stamp set “Occasions Alphabet” and made a little greeting “banner”.

By the way, when you use this die, it cuts and scores so you better use the Premium crease pad so it won’t cut through the score lines. It also cuts out those little circle that normally are used for like a “string-wrap” closure. But I used them in a different way:

I simply took a piece of cardstock and cut it so it would fit inside the pocket.

I used my Tombow Multipurpose Glue on the back of the gift cards (just a thin line), let them dry completely and then attached to the cardstock. Now the gift cards are removable and can be redeemed one by one…
