Masculine-Themed Pocket Card with Tag

This card was designed for my May Thornton Active Adult Center and Craft Box classes.  It has a definite masculine look, but with different paper it could be used for any occasion.  It was inspired by a photo I found on Pinterest.

Materials

* Honey Nut card stock from PapertreyInk.com: 5-1/2" x 4-1/4" (card base); 3-1/2" x 1-1/2" (band across front)

* Cocoa Bean card stock from PapertreyInk.com: 5" x 3-3/4" (pocket); about 4-1/4" x 2" (die cut)

* Glasshouse patterned paper pack by The Paper Warehouse (Hobby Lobby): 4-3/4" x 3-1/2" (layer on pocket)

* White card stock: 4-1/4" x 2-3/8" (tag); 3-1/8" x 5/8" (sentiment)

* Jute twine (about 5")

* Cane Weave 3D embossing folder by Stampin' Up!

* Tags Collection dies by Tim Holtz (tag and sentiment)

* Meadow dies by Stampin' Up!

* Unlabeled sentiment stamp set from my stash

* Early Espresso Stampin' Pad by Stampin' Up!

Assembly

* Cut tag from white card stock; cut reinforcement ring from Cocoa Bean card stock and adhere to tag.  Fold twine in half and feed folded edge from back to front through hole; loop ends back through loop and pull tight; trim to desired length.  Set aside tag.

* Score Cocoa Bean card stock from upper left corner to 2" from top on right side.

* Cut 4-3/4" x 3-1/2" patterned paper from upper left corner to 1-3/4" from top of right side; DO NOT DISCARD cut out triangle.  Adhere patterned paper to Cocoa Bean card stock so top is right up against -- but not overlapping -- scoreline.

* Fold Cocoa Bean card stock to the front along score line and secure to patterned paper with foam adhesive.

* Remember that triangle cut from patterned paper?  If you're using double-sided paper, you can just trim 1/8" from long edge and adhere to flap -- the piece will show the design from the back of the paper.  (NOTE:  I actually cut two separate pieces for my card because I was using single-sided paper and wanted the design to appear upside-down to look like it had been folded over.)

* Use embossing folder to add texture to 3-1/2" x 1-1/2" card stock and adhere across front of card just below point of flap.

* Cut weed from Cocoa Bean card stock and adhere over embossed card stock and overlap the flap.

* Use die to cut label from white card stock, stamp sentiment with Early Espresso ink, and adhere as shown with foam adhesive.

* Apply narrow double-sided tape or thin line of liquid glue to side and bottom edges on back of pocket and adhere to Honey Nut card stock.  Insert tag into pocket.

That was easy, right?
