I had purchased the Thank You x 2 card kit from Stampin' Up! to be able to make cute, fast, easy, but pretty Thank You cards. I like this kit so much that I think I need to order more! The kit comes with the pre-scored, pre-scalloped cards, an Old Olive stamping spot, the stamp set, Old Olive grosgrain ribbon, and Old Olive envelopes.

1. In one sample, I added a 1-1/2 inch x 5 inch piece of Kraft patterned paper from the Parisian Breeze designer series paper (DSP) pack. I made the card in a vertical layout, used the retired 1/8" Circle Handheld Punch to punch wholes in all the scallops, and then added the strip of DSP to the right side of the inside of the card.
2. Stamped the little dots in Old Olive and the small flower in Old Olive in desired areas of the card front.
3. Stamped greeting in the upper left corner.

Horizontal, Landscape Layout

1. On the other, horizontal layout sample, I added a 3/4 inch x 5 inch strip to the inside of the card right above where I stamped the greeting.
2. Only stamped the greeting in the bottom, right, and then the small green flowers every other scallop.

What I did:
http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/trifold_pocket_card/

1. Cut an 8 x 8-1/2 piece of designer series paper.
2. Scored it at 2-1/4 and 6-1/4.
3. Turn 90 degrees and then score at 2-1/2. See pieces pictured above.
4. Cut out the 2 bottom squares.
5. I used a round bowl to manually trace and cut the rounded edge at the top.
6. NOTE: Used the same round bowl to manually cut/curve the Whisper White and Chocolate Chip pieced used for the inside (for the greeting).
7. I then stamped some Baroque Swirls on the Whisper White, then adhered to the Chocolate Chip paper.
8. Then for the stip, I cut a 2-1/2 inch of Chocolate Chip cardstock, then a 2-1/4 inch piece of designer series paper and adhered to the Chocolate Chip. Wrapped about and trimmed.
9. Then wrap and cut/adhere the Chocolate Chip Double Stitched ribbon.
10. Then dyed the flower with the re-inkers and set aside to dry. Use a napkin to dry it faster.
11. Then use a flower brad thru both flowers (one dyed flower, one large silk flower).
12. Then adhere the flower to the ban using a Pop-up Glue Dot.
13. Fold the pocket card at the score marks and assemble all the pieces.

1. On the polka dotted designer series paper, punch three holes in the lower right area and then place the 3 clear rhinestone brads.
2. Adhere this paper to the bottom of the card front.
3. Stamp images with Chocolate Chip Craft Ink on the other piece of paper using the large swirl and small flower of the Baroque Motifs set.
4. Let dry.
5. Tear a corner off the right, lower corner of the other piece of designer series paper (see image above).
6. Then wrap a piece of ribbon around the middle of that piece and adhere in the back.
7. Punch a few more holes where you will place 3 more clear rhinestone brads.
8. Then adhere this panel to the card front.
9. A piece of Very Vanilla piece of paper is included with the kit and is adhered to the inside so you can easily write or stamp a greeting.
10. You're done!

1. Adhere the blue/white patterned paper to the Whisper White card front.
2. You can adhere the 3 white pearls now or later using Mini Glue Dots.
3. Tear the Sahara Sand piece of paper, then adhere on top of card front.
4. Tear the large floral patterned piece of paper, then wrap a piece of ribbon around the piece and adhere behind. Then adhere this piece to the card front leaving some of the torn Sahara Sand piece showing.
5. Then stamp an image in Chocolate Chip Classic Ink on the Whisper White square piece, then layer on the Sahara Sand piece, then adhere and layer on the Baja Breeze piece. Set aside -- this will be the last thing to adhere.
6. Adhere the triangle in the upper left corner.
7. From the paper torn from the large floral patterned piece of paper, now tear a small, thinner piece and adhere to the triangle. Then manually snip the edges on a slant once adhered.
8. Now adhere the stamped image (and layered panel) to the card front.
9. Last but not least you can either stamp a greeting on the ribbon or use a rub-on as I did above.
10. You're done.

1. Same as above except there is no Whisper White card. Instead Sahara Sand makes up the main card and is torn at the bottom, front of the card only (that is why the card cannot stand on its own).
2. Then adhere the small blue/white patterned piece to the bottom of the inside of the card front. Adhere pearls with Mini Glue Dots.
3. Follow steps 4-9 above.
4. You're done.

1. Using Chocolate Chip Craft Ink stamp the large swirl from the Baroque Motifs stamp set, as well as a few small flowers. Set paper aside for a few minutes to dry since Craft Ink takes a little longer to dry.
2. Choose a rub-on phrase or image (I used "Friend" from the retired Love & Happiness rub-on set). Rub on the bottom, right area (as shown above).
3. When the Craft Ink is dried, adhere the diagonal in the upper left corner, leaving a small 1/8" edge (I used SNAIL adhesive).
4. Punch a hole in the small flower punched using Boho Blossom punch, as well as the larger flower punched.
5. Then using a Clear Rhinestone Brad, place through the middle of the 2 punched flowers, and then through the middle of the large silk flower.
6. Adhere the flower to the card front (where desired) using Pop-Up Glue Dots.
7. Lastly, as part of the Kit, I include a Whisper White piece of cardstock that you can use and adhere to the inside of the card.
