Hello fellow crafters! I bought a new set of dies and I can’t wait to show you this fun card idea using them.
These are the Pocket Thoughts Dies. You can get them bundled with a stamp set but I chose to purchase them separately because I immediately saw so many uses for them using the supplies I already have.
As the name already indicates, these dies allow you to add fun pockets in different sizes to your paper crafts and these pockets can hold gift cards, money, and anything else you like!
I choose to use some left-over bits of the Perennial Lavender paper to make my card a real stand-out. Yes! You can still buy this paper at my online store.
The hand-painted designs were inspired by fields of wild lavender and the wildflowers that grow right alongside it. Use these lovely sheets as a background image or die-cut pieces to use as an accent for your card making projects, which is what I will do for today's project.
The steps to make my card are super easy. All you have to do is watch the video below - you will also get to see the inside of the card!
Here's what you need to gather together to make this project at home.
