Today I am happy to share how to make this stinkin’ cute denim pocket card using images from the Pocketful of Sunshine stamp set, the coordinating Pocket Framelits dies, some fun embellishments, and the beautiful 2016-18 In Colors.
These 2016-18 In Colors are due be on the retiring list of products that will be posted on April 9th. And if things go like past years, the out-going In Colors sell out right away. Sometime the inks, reinkers, cardstock and other products in these colors sell out even BEFORE they are announced in the retiring list of products. Be sure to buy up what you need now just in case the pattern is the same as past years.
I wanted to share this card with my Facebook friends too, so I recorded this Facebook Live how-to video last Wednesday and then uploaded it to my YouTube channel (since I know not everyone is ON Facebook). Be sure to watch the video, check out the measurements below so that you can recreate this amazing card, and then let me know if you have any questions. If you ARE on Facebook, I invite you to “like” then “follow” my page so you can get updates when I share and when I go live every Wednesday afternoon at 2 PM Central Time.
Here are the measurements you’ll need if you plan to recreate this cute card.

If you want to make them more mailable, leave out the shreddie.
While creating with this stamp set, I had to try embossed white stitching on the pocket. (Tip: emboss first, THEN sponge on the Dapper Denim color. Or the embossing powder will stick to the sponged areas.)
