Kangaroo Pocket Card - Stampin' Up! Animal Outing

It's a little bit cheesy but who isn't going to smile about a pocket card with a kangaroo on it??  I thought I was pretty clever when I designed this one for last months stamp club.

  A pocket card is a nice change of pace from the regular A2 cards that I normally make.  This one came together really quickly and gave my stampers another chance to play with the Stampin' Blends alcohol markers.

  The card base is Pool Party cut the long way and then scored at 5 1/2" and 8 3/4".  Using tear tape right along the edges the flap is adhered then the edges of the pocket.

  The little track marks are stamped on the card front in Pool Party.  The image is in the Tropical Chic stamp set.  It's also stamped along the bottom of the insert.  The insert has a piece of Lemon Lime Twist ribbon for the pull.

  A piece of Animal Expedition DSP is adhered across the flap.  The sentiment is stamped in black onto Lemon Lime Twist cardstock then punched with a circle punch.

  The kangaroo is stamped in Memento black then colored with Stampin' Blends.  The coordinating Animal Friends thinlets makes quick work of cutting out the colored image.  Finally the animals are popped up with a dimensional.  See super fast, super cute pocket card!

  Thanks for looking!  Did you stamp today?
