VC Rocks Blog Hop

Hello Stampers!

Well we are having another blog hop for VC Rocks.  This time the theme is Any Size Card.  I decided to use the regular size card but do a different fold.

You should have arrived here from Nancy's blog Fancy Nancy Kay.

I am glad you joined me for my creations.  Since the blog runs all weekend, I have made 2 cards since I won't be posting tomorrow.

The first idea came to me in a dream.  It may have been done by someone else but I can't remember.  If this is your idea let me know and I will give you credit.

I have a lot of retired designer series paper and I thought it would be fun to make a pocket using some of the paper.  I then made a card to go inside.  Here is my first creation.

My second card uses a fold I saw in a book I have - Journal of Paper Engineering.  I thought it would be a fun one to do using the strawberry from Best of Everything.  I loved adding patterned paper to my card to make this design my own.  Here is my second creation.

I hope you enjoyed my cards today.  Now it is time to hop on over to Deborah's blog Thoughts of a Grasshopper.  Thanks for stopping by today and have a Super Saturday and a Sensational Sunday!

Both cards are great. I like the way the first card has its own pocket envelope. Nicely done. You make me want to run up to my craft room to do something other than a regular card.

These are great, Robbie. I really need to do a pocket card, it's such a cool twist. Also, love the stamping on the card inside/envies--adds just the right touch!
