A SIMPLE POCKET CARD

BASKET CARD
This card is a lot simpler than it looks.  Just start with a square card (Regal Craft Cards sell a good selection), and fold the sides of the front panel in to the middle (the card fold sits at the top).

Secure the edges together - I've stuck a piece of embossed card on the top, but you could punch a couple of holes and tie the edges together with a ribbon.  This gives you a pocket, which can be "visually" filled - I've used a Sparklelight 3D sheet from Regal and spread the elements out rather than stacking them in a more straightforward way, but you could fill the pocket with small lollies or perhaps a packet of rhinestones or ribbons for a crafty friend.

I've added embellishments to suggest a basket e.g. a sticker "handle" and basket weave embossing pattern, but you could decorate the card base in any number of ways to suit the recipient and occasion.
