Using the New Templates For Scrapbooking
Here’s an example of what I was talking about. The pocket for the tag is really an envelope made from the template with several size options, (the template sitting on the brown cardboard picture in the last post). This is the largest size one, and worked really well for my secret journaling. The tag is really two sided, with personal sentiments written on it.
To make this envelope, I glued down the front flap to the inside before I folded and glued up the sides and bottom. This creates a finished pocket, with the decorative paper showing from all angles. I then glued down the back of the envelope (sides and bottom) to the layout - and the pocket is ready!
There are other ways to make them, though. Especially when using 2 sided papers, this pocket can become a centerpiece - a truly wonderful coordinating element of your project.
Here are two others. These were created with the small rectangular envelope template. In this example, I created one envelope (on left) by glueing the flap down to the inside of the pocket, and then folded up the sides and bottom. I glued the front down to the foundation paper and the opening for the pocket faces up. In this other sample, the backside is glued down to the base paper, but the flap has been folded over to the front and glued down. This leaves the opening for the pocket at the top.
Here’s a picture featuring these two pocket envelopes with a tag.
I think you can see from these photos that those tags would hold a lot of secret journaling or even a photo! Pockets are a great way to add memorabilia that you don’t wish to glue. Tickets to a show or game, for instance, may be something you wish to display, but not permanently adhere. So many options - I love this kit!
