Super-fun ONE-CUT POCKET INSERT – inspired by Pink Monarch Prints

Uploaded May 2026 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago

A couple of simple folds and one diagonal cut is all it takes to create this precious journal element. It has two diagonal pockets, some journaling space, and a tiny extra pocket that’s perfect for a gift card or additional message. What a lovely little piece to present to a friend or send in happy meal!

I got this idea from the fabulous creator at Pink Monarch Prints (@pink_monarch_prints) on Instagram – also on Elena’s Crafty Club on Facebook. Her shop is: https://www.pinkmonarchprints.com. You probably already know her – if not, definitely check her out!

I used one of these faux postage stamps to cover up an “oops” – here’s how I made those! youtu.be/qkAbUHsO5AA
