Pocket Card

Variations
Horizontal pocket You will need a 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" piece of cardstock. Score it at 4 1/4" like a regular card. Cut about 1 1/4" off the long way on one side. Your message piece should be 3 3/4" x 5". Omit the flap Instead of scoring 1 1/4" and folding over to make the flap, try cutting off the 1 1/4" piece. Try an asymmetrical flap Score on a diagonal instead to create a funky flap.
