There’s just something I love about a project that combines soft pastels, dreamy florals, and a pop of vibrant color—and this Tag Pocket Card is all that and more! I designed and handmade this card using my Cricut Maker, layering it up with lovely Polkadoodles printable papers and finishing it off with all the prettiest little embellishments.
The true star? The Polkadoodles Nature’s Beauty girl with flowers - a gorgeous digital stamp that I colored with my Ohuhu markers in soft florals and vivid hues. Here’s a breakdown of the colors I used:
Pink Flowers: R9, R23, R15, RP6
Orange Flowers: Y10, YR4
Leaves: BG68, PB10, G4, PB9
Bubbles: BG3
Hair: CG II04, CG II07
Eyes: B030
Lips & Cheeks: RV260
Skin: R18, RV260
Originally, I colored one large image—but midway, I realized I wanted a smaller version to tuck inside, so I colored a second, smaller one too. Totally worth it!
How I Made It:
Design & Cut:
I created the envelope base and tag panels in Cricut Design Space and cut everything with my Cricut Maker. If you’d like to use the same shapes, you can grab my Design Space file here.
Pocket Adjustments:
I mitered the corners of the pocket flap with scissors for a cleaner, neater fold. Then I glued the pocket onto the card base.
Tags:
I initially planned to use a small tag I cut on the Cricut, but later changed my mind and wanted a larger one. Since I’d already packed my Cricut away (yes, it has a dust cover—Middle East problems: dust and sand everywhere!), I reached for my tag die and Sizzix to cut out the perfect size.
Assembly:
Once all pieces were ready, I glued the layered panels onto both the card and the tags. Don’t forget to glue the tag pockets too!
Embellish!
I dressed up the final design with floral embellishments, two types of ribbon, pearl sticks, and of course, my Polkadoodles digi stamp. These sweet details really brought the whole project to life.
This little pocket card makes a perfect gift tag, mini card, or special keepsake—and with those layered papers and hand-colored digi, it’s bursting with handmade charm. Hope it inspires your next crafty adventure!
Happy creating!
Beautiful project sis!!! ๐๐๐
