I finally got a chance to use the Stampin' Up! Petite Pocket XL Die . It was actually one of my first purchases from the 2011-2012 Stampin' Up! Idea Book and Catalog and I've been itching to play with it. So at this month's Big Shot class, that's what we did! Take a look…
Isn't this adorable?! I love the way it turned out. You can put a gift card in it or a short message, money, etc. Hmm…I bet a nice little necklace would fit in there too!
Petite Pocket Tutorial
1. Use a piece of 4-1/4" x 11" Very Vanilla cardstock to die cut the Petite Pocket, with Extended Cutting Pads (optional: Extended Premium Crease Pad).
2. Fold on all the score lines
3. Using Sticky Strip, apply it to the very outside edge of the two pocket "tabs", then remove Sticky Strip covering and assemble your pocket.
4. Die cut scraps of Designer Paper to decorate your pocket. I'm using Red Glimmer Paper and Holly Berry Bouquet.
5. For the circle "fasteners", adhere them with Stampin' Dimensionals. Insert the Gold Brads.
6. Adhere the decorated layers to your pocket with adhesive.
7. Tie about 10" of White Bakers Twine to one of the fasteners, then wrap around both in a figure eight fashion.
8. Enjoy!

Dawn, this is cute, cute, cute. And really elegant, too, by the way. You know, my mother-in-law likes to give the grandkids little money coupon books that one of our bank does for Christmas gift giving. When I saw this die I thought of that right away and ordered it. However, money doesn’t fit into this Petite Pocket. Do you know of anything right off the top of your head that would work? As a last resort I was thinking I could make little “piggy banks” with that Mini Milk Carton die and just put a money roll inside.
