June SIU Challenge

Hey there!

Are you having a good week? Things are good here, busy, but that's nothing new! Do any of you have Summer weather yet? We had a teaser a couple weeks ago, but now it's just cold and drizzly. I'm ready for some sunshine for sure!! Send some my way if you've got some, please!! :D

Here's a project I made up for the A Muse Addicts Step it Up challenge this month. I got the idea from Jennie, she said she had seen an Emergency Card Kit at Target and thought it would be a fun project to work on. Then I was surfing around the internet and saw a fun Emergency Card Kit that was made at SU Regionals. So, I have a SU version to post soon too, but for now I'll just show this one for purposes of the Step it Up challenge. The challenge is simple, just make a card set (minimum of 5 cards) and some sort of pouch, pocket or container to hold them in. Possibilities are endless! The cards could have a theme, like birthdays or they could be general, any occasion cards or a mix of different types of cards.

I decided to make a pocket, like the Tag Pouch I made here. You can find many samples of these tag pouches on SCS, that's where I first came across them.

You use a 6x6 scrapbook page sleeve and trim the hole-punched side off, then adhere it to CS of choice, be sure to score where you want the flap to be before you adhere the clear pocket. I adhered the flap to the front with velcro dots I found at my local $ store.


I included 6 cards in the pocket to have on hand when I need a card quick and don't have time to stamp. These would make wonderful gifts for all occasions too!

Here are the cards I put inside. 2 different styles, 3 different colors of each style.

I was inspired by some mugs I found at Starbucks a couple weeks ago.

Thanks for stopping by today!
