A holiday card holder… just for you!

SCS Tutorial Card Pouch Oct 2011 - 9 .1 OHS

Have you seen the Holiday Blitz tutorials over at Splitcoaststampers this past week?  There are some really great ideas! You can check them all out HERE.

I was the designer for the final tutorial, and chose to do this card pouch, complete with some beautiful Flourishes images!  I know several of you have been chomping at the bit for a tutorial on how to make it…so here you go! :-)

Here’s a shot of the inside:

SCS Tutorial Card Pouch Oct 2011 - 9 OHS

My pouch perfectly fits 4-1/4″ square cards; but you could certainly adapt it to fit a different size card.  If you want the step by step details, all you need to do is click  HERE.  You can just hop on over to Splitcoaststampers to check out the tutorial for yourself.  There’s even a video for ya!

Here are the cards I made to go inside:

Poinsettia & Boxwood 7.1 - OHS

Poinsettia & Boxwood 7.2 - OHS

Poinsettia & Boxwood 7.3 - OHS
Poinsettia & Boxwood 7.4 - OHS

The cards were made using Flourishes awesome Poinsettia and Boxwood set.  I think I have used that set more than any other set I own…love, love, LOVE it!

The gorgeous 1/8″ Red Velvet Trim can be found in the Flourishes store, along with that awesome Spellbinders Blossom Tags Accent piece behind the main image.  The image was colored in with my favorite Copic reds, which can be found in Flourishes Copic Poppy Collection.  I added just a bit of Lemon Flower Soft to the center of each flower. The final touch is a Martha Stewart border punch down the left side of each card.

If you’d like to learn how to make the envelopes to match these little cards, check out the tutorial I did for SCS a couple of weeks ago HERE. I hope you enjoy the tutorials, friends!  If you make the pouch, let me know!  I’d love to see your creation!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Hugs,
