Last week I was asked to design pocket cards to coordinate with an internal promotion a local business was doing for its sales staff. The manager at the store wanted something that would set this promotion apart, and she gave me a sample of the card that her employees would receive.
I had a fabulous time playing with this project! The sample that I received was trendy but very classy – much like the merchandise in this store. The employees are all female, so I was free to encourage my feminine muse. Here’s the result:
Because this project is sized to hold the equivalent of a business card, I was able to make it stand up. It’s like a greeting card that opens from the top instead of the side, but there’s a pocket on the front to hold the card. It looked GREAT with the enclosure inside – but I can’t share that with you. This was such a fun More Is More project!
I used the Creative Elements stamp set with Shimmer White, Early Espresso, Crumb Cake and Marina Mist as the color palette, and I’m sure you can figure out the rest.
Here’s the flower embellishment up close:
I heard they were a big hit with the staff – that feedback was music to my ears. It’s one thing to love what you do, but when you create something for someone else and they love it too, that’s incredibly satisfying.
Come back tomorrow for another adaptation of this project!
Gorgeous! So, is this project an A2 card size or smaller?

Hi Kathy! This card is sized to hold a business card, so the face dimension is 3″ x 4″. The customer didn’t want to put it in an envelope so that gave me a little extra room to be creative. Tomorrow’s post will feature the A-2 I created!
