Nearly a New Year

Here it is almost 2019 and my little blog sits here almost ignored. It serves as a depository of past projects and memory nudges but little else. Mainly because I am unwilling to add advertisements and other superfluous adornments.

I may up my game in 2019 and then I may just stick to the status quo.

In the mean time here is another form of that pocket/card I made for Christmas.

Creating more and more these days.

I made this cute Xmas card in less than 30 minutes.

Card consists of a pocket with a small tag and card tucked into it's folds.

I used the same yarn stitched to the spine of the card and as the tags tassel.

Here is how I made the pocket.

Score down the center of a standard sheet of copy paper.
Turn the paper and score at 4¼ and 8½.
Make your folds then open paper out flat.

Fold each corner into your score line.

Fold the two sides together like this.

Tuck the short end into the long end. and you have your pocket.

I added the paper doily to the back to close the opening there.
