Woohooo! I've finally finished it! :-) You've asked me for a tutorial for the Note Card Holders I have made, and {{finally}} here it is! :-) I've taken step by step photos for this quick and easy project as well as measurements and instructions! Enjoy! :-)
To start, you will need a piece of cardstock cut to 5" x 11" for the card holder base. For the pockets, cut two pieces of cardstock measuring 3 1/4" x 6 1/4" (for the thicker card pocket) and 2 3/4" x 5 1/4" (for the thinner envelope pocket).
Score the largest piece of cardstock at 5" and 6".
Score the larger pocket piece at 1/2" and 1" on three sides as shown above.
Score the smaller pocket piece at 1/4" and 1/2" on three sides as shown above.
Using a bone folder, crease each scored line on all three pieces of cardstock. This is a VERY important step and will make for a cleaner end product.
Cut the bottom "squares" from each of the scored pocket pieces as shown above.
Add a strong adhesive to the outside scored part of both pocket pieces as shown in the picture above.
Here's a close-up picture so you can see exactly where the adhesive goes.
Peel off the backing of the adhesive and fold the bottom flap and adhere to the sides as shown in the picture above.
Adhere the pockets to the inside of the Note Card Holder. I like to place the thinner pocket (for the envelopes) on the left and the thicker pocket (for the note cards) on the right.
Here's a tip: Use your bone folder to press on the flaps inside of the pockets to ensure a strong bond.
Voila! Your Note Card Holder is finished!
**NOTE** This tutorial was created to fit 4" square envelopes (I buy mine from Papertrey Ink and 3 3/4" square note cards.
Oh, one more thing,I created the pockets to hold 6 envelopes and notecards.
If you decide to make one of these fun little holder, make sure to leave a link in the comments...I would love to see what you create! :-)
I will be back in a little bit to share my finished project!
Hugs, Laurie
