As you know, my husband and I have both been working on swaps for the upcoming Stampin' Up! Cruise... and as promised I am sharing the finished swaps with you.
This is the card my husband stamped for the Husband Card Swap! Don't ya think he did an EXCELLENT job??
It has this great little diagonal pocket for a gift card or a special note!
The card is a 4"x12", scored at 4" and 8" (so it creates 3 equal 4x4 sections) then you score the middle section DIAGONALLY and you fold it up to get this great little card with a pocket! We learned how to make this card at the local Stampin' Up! Regional Seminar.
ADDED:
Here are some step by step photos to help you fold this card design.. hope it's helpful! Thanks for all your kind comments about Eric's card.. he is enjoying reading them!
Oh.. and this is one of my little buddies who comes to beg for peanuts every day... sorry for the blurry photo.. I grabbed the camera and it was on the wrong setting.. wouldn't you know it? oh well!
Oh my gosh! This is awesome. He rockin' the stampin'!

Wow what a fabulous card!! How many do the husbands swap take? I can only imagine if my husband had to make as many as we did for convention, saying are you nutso?? He would long give up. I think it's awesome h did that. I can get my hubby to help me sometimes too.

Great job, Eric !!! You'd make a fantastic demo !!!! Looks like the squirrel wants to stamp too !!!! See....even the wildlife has heard of your amazing stamping !!! He's probably waiting in line to sign up for one of your classes. :)

Thanks for a very cool patriotic card! I want to make one to send to my son who has just enlisted with the Marines. I'll try to make one when I get his address from bootcamp. It's great to have a masculine card that fits perfectly. You rock!

Great card, gotta show my hubby and ask if he could do this. Love your swap too! Have a wonderful time in Bermuda!
