Envelope Pocket Ideas

Today I’m sharing a few fun envelope pocket ideas with you. These are simple projects that can be used for so many different things:

• gift cards,
• small gifts,
• hidden journaling or memorabilia on a scrapbook layout,
• or added to your junk journal.

They are also perfect little projects to create using some of the pattern paper we always seem to have so much of!

You can find a video showing you how they come together below.

Fall Themed Pocket

This first one was created with an envelope for a 3″ x 5″ card.  The retired Stampin’ Up! envelope punch board called for a 6-3/4″ x 6-3/4″ piece of pattern paper to start.

To create the pockets I used a piece of music paper from an old book and a scrap of the Gathering Together DSP. This is the perfect size for a gift card but you could tuck in a few stickers, or ephemera as well.

I used these magnets for a closure but you could also use velcro dots.

Peaceful Garden Pocket

This next pocket is for a 5″ x 7″ card so significantly larger. I started with a 9-1/2″ x 9-1/2″ piece of pattern paper.

I tucked a tag, journaling spot, laser cut piece and a little postage stamp accent into the pockets.

Floral Impressions Pocket

For this third pocket, I used a sheet of music paper as my base. It’s a 5″ x 5-1/2″ pocket. I started with an 8-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ piece of paper.

I’ve added a gift card, tag and postage stamp journaling spot to the pockets.

These are so fun to make! And easy to whip up a batch of them using any pattern paper from your stash.

Until next time,
