Quick and easy cuts with coordinating envelopes and papers
Flash Cards!

This set really is that simple. The measurements and styles are  flexible--just go with the basic principles.

Pick your base card size (I used pre-made envelopes from my stash as a guide)

Pick your color scheme.

Cut bases.

Cut pocket papers the same height as the card base and slightly wider, then use craft knife to free-hand the pocket cut.

Attach pockets to base.

Insert tags, cards, die cuts, tea bags, book marks, gift cards or whatever catches your fancy.



I've taken to doing Flash! Scans of Flash! Cards since I don't want to spend more time posting than I did making them. Here are some of the cards I made in this session and some still shots of the process. Click to enlarge and go make something of it!
