Double Pocket Fold

Step One: Fold the paper in half, from long-side to long side. Open paper.

Step Two: Fold the paper in half again from the other side (from "short-side" to "short-side"). Open paper. There are now 4 quadrants.

Step Three: Use trimmer to cut the paper on the fold on one of the long sides (should be 5-1/2" from each edge, at center). Cut down to the center point, where the folds meet.

Step Four:
Turn paper so that the long ends are vertical. Fold the bottom right corner so that the edge meets the edge of the center vertical fold.

Step Five: Fold the top left corner so that there is 1-1/2" from the edge of the folded cardstock and the center vertical fold (this is a smaller fold than the one at the bottom).

Step Six: Fold the entire top left quadrant over at the fold until it meets the other side of the paper.

Step Seven:
Fold the left bottom quadrant under the left right quadrant.

Step Eight: Fold the right bottom corner up to match the first fold.

Step Nine: Use adhesive to attach all loose edges. Decorate tags and outer edges of the card as desired. This card does NOT open - the tags and items used to fill the pockets are the "card."
