This adorable pocket card is easy to make! It was created using the "Seamstress" Scrap Pack Printable from My Porch Prints on Etsy.

I began by printing my Scrap Pack and cutting out the elements I wanted to use for this project.

The elements I chose included various cards & tape measures as well as a large ruler card. I also used pink ribbon which I wrapped around one of the ribbon spools, and a small doilie.

To create my pocket, I chose a smaller card and applied glue to three sides as shown, leaving the top open.

Next, I chose a colorful tape measure piece and attached it at an angle, folding the sides around to the back of my card. This adds extra support for holding things in my pocket.

I decided I wanted a bit more color at the bottom of my card, so another piece of my colorful tape measure.

Next, I attached one of the vintage style tickets and also layered it with a flower circle.

To give my cards a little more interest & dimension, I used Distress Ink to darken the edges, applying it with a makeup sponge.
