Good morning Doodlebug fans! I have some more Summer Fun inspiration for you today. Today's project was actually inspired by a video that came across my social media feed about a pretty way to wrap a box. I just loved the way the top of the box looked in the video and wanted to see if I could recreate the style for a little gift card holder made with Doodlebug paper.
These little pockets could hold anything from a gift card to stationary to thin treats! I am actually planning on using these to hold some thank-you notes and a gift card tucked into the pockets. Overlapping Water Babies, Seashells by the Seashore, Gull Friends and Beach Towel 12x12 papers form the base of the pockets.
And then to embellish the pockets, I used a variety of die Cuts from the Summer Fun Chit Chat, Odds & Ends and Bits & Pieces packs tucked into each layer and then glued in place.
Some adorable Doodle Twine in Limeade, Swimming Pool and Bubblegum were wrapped and tied for some texture, and then I added a couple of Mini Doilies back-to back in the back pocket to create a little shape on the top.
Finally, I added a few Sprinkles from the Summer Assortment and a couple of Mini Paperclips in Tangerine and Blue Jean. I just love that you can fill each section to your hearts content - love all the die cuts?! Tuck them in! A fan of all the tags? Use them up! The more you add, the more textured and interesting the pockets become! I think I will be making different versions of these in the future!
Oh, and you can too because there is nothing hard about this project at all! Check it out:
- Start with two strips of paper 4" x 12". Score both along the long edge at the 4" and 8" mark.
- Take the outside top corners and fold them down. use a bone folder if you have one to get a tight fold. Repeat with your second strip.
- Using one strip of paper, fold in the two sides and then place it down on top of the second strip about 1/2" from the bottom.
- Fold the sides from strip 2 over top and then glue along the bottom edge to hold everything in place. Embellish them up to your heart's content.
That's it! Really!
I love that you could alter the dimensions on these and end up with a different look. Or if you are a fan of showing off all the Doodlebug patterns, add another layer! these would look really cute on a scrapbook paper to to hold a little keepsake! I can only imagine all the creative things you will do with the idea and we can't wait to see them! Thanks for stopping by! Hugs,
