Turns out,
those library card pockets are really easy to make, and a little addictive.
How do I know this, you ask?
I would say that this stack of thirty--30!--pockets is pretty good evidence.
I had an assembly line approach going throughout the day, and just did a step here and there when I had some time: pick the papers, draw the template, cut out the shape and fold, glue into place. Suddenly, I had this pile in front of me!
Rather than use the
Mirkwood Designs template that
I used last time, I used
a template I found on Scrapbook Crazy. It allows you to make the same style library card pocket in three sizes:
 |
| Large |
 |
| Medium |
 |
| Adorably Small |
Today I received my eNewsletter from Stampington & Company, and guess what I found? Check out how they are using library card pockets as a creative gift packaging idea:
When you give someone a book as a gift, you can include a library card pocket that you have decorated and embellished along with a library card that has your name, their name, the date, and a message. I've always loved including hand-made bookmarks with gift books, and I love this idea, as well.
Now you HAVE to make some!
