Today's project uses left-over card bases, oval and circle nesting dies, and scraps from your scrap bin to create whimsical, colorful pockets for gift cards, seed packets, tea or coffee or flattish candy treats. I needed a quick pocket to give some seed packets, and had a couple of card bases sitting on my craft table next to the stitched nesting dies from Stampin' Up!. So, I just grabbed some scraps from my scrap bin, cut out a bunch of different shapes, and made a pocket with the card bases, both portrait and landscape. It was rather fun, so I grabbed some more card bases from my stash, ones where the color or pattern was not one I would use, and turned them "inside out" to make the pockets. I punched a small, decorative reveal in the top-center of the front, then glued them together to form the pocket.
Yes, you can use other supplies to create these pockets, but what a fun way to use up left-over card bases, scraps from your bins, and your nesting dies.

Until we meet again, may your days be blessed! Smiles, Darby
