If you love interactive card designs and stretching your designer paper, you’re going to love today’s project! This Collar Pocket Card is a clever fold that creates a layered “collar” look on the front while keeping the inside clean and simple for your message.
Even better? You can make three different handmade cards from one single 12×12 sheet of Designer Series Paper, which makes this design perfect for batch card making, classes, or using up those favorite patterns you don’t want to waste.
Today I’m sharing two finished Collar Pocket Card designs: a soft floral Thinking of You card and a warm, masculine To a Great Guy card. Both use Stampin’ Up! supplies and showcase just how versatile this card style can be.
Collar Pocket Card Tutorial
The collar pocket card is one of those designs that looks intricate but comes together quickly. You’ll love watching this video and seeing how easy it is to adapt for different occasions and styles. Whether you’re drawn to florals or prefer a clean, masculine look, this card fold works beautifully every time.
⭐️ Which occasion would you use a collar pocket card for—thinking of you, birthday, or a masculine card? Let me know in the comments!
