I looked at the link given above "craftsby carolyn"? and i understand now the pocket card is rather like a fancy envelope and u put the greeting card inside, if you wish.
ps. rainmac where do u buy ur inkadoodle stamps?- i think you may have given the link before because i think i remember seeing a panda stamp which i thought at the time could have been useful for who was looking for it! [soooo many IF's in that sentence!]

Rainmac got her Inkadinkado stamps from here:

I got my 2 Inkadinkado stamps from here. Postage is nearly £3 though so if anyone finds them sold elsewhere for less p&p please let me know

EDIT: sorry, just seen lei has already answered - d'oh, need to read the thread before starting to post replies!!!

You are absolutely right, the pocket card is like a wallet envelope, are you going to give one a go???

I have an idea for a challenge that will probably take everyone out of their comfort zones, I don't know if I am just allowed to post it up on crafty place or if I would have to let someone else do it? strictly speaking it isn't card making if that makes sense? but would definately be good If I am allowed to just post it up on CP then which section would I have to put it in??

Oooohhhh I'm intrigued!!! What is it, what is it??? I think you could set up a new topic in Competitions, Challenges and Blog Candy Offers. If you can't do that, mail me and tell me what you want you want the thread to be called and I'll add it. If you would rather it be a swap you could add a new topic to Card Swaps (I know you said it isn't a card but can't think where else to add a swap where we make stuff?). Does that make sense???

thanks rainmac, yes i was thinking about it cause i really like the style of the gift pocket cards from the magazine u sent me and this is similar but now i can use the basic grey papers for the theses as they dont need to be double sided.
i was thinking anyway, if i were to make more gift pocket cards from the mag i could stick two toneing single sided 12 x12's together and fold.
I love putting stamps on cards, i struggle without them- but i think this is due to the first card making class i went to used stamps you see!

rainmac

dragonllew, I love your MSE challenge card. The image is gorgeous and the colours are fab x

leia, your ATC is brilliant, I love it, perfection in miniature!

I never thought of putting 2 pages together, that's clever

Would anyone have an idea for 50th birthday card? thanks... simplic please... I was thinking an image... possibly a glass of wine or something?? Any suggestions ?

How about 'things that happened in the year/date of birth'? I think it was CT19720 who made a couple, they looked fab!

Do you know about any interests of the person? Could you incorporate something that way?
