Mini File Folder Card Idea

The envelope punch board occupies space in my studio, but it's rarely used.  I won my punch board as a giveaway ages ago and I rarely make my own envelopes.  I'd seen some cute ideas on Pinterest for using it to make file folder tabs on cards but had yet to try the idea.  Then a couple months ago I had a request for office goodbye cards.  Is there a more perfect card idea for office cards than a cute mini file folder?  I think not!

I started with an A2 card base, punching a tab on one side, then trimming the opposite side of the card to build my file.  If you're looking for exact measurements for creating the tabs, this is the tutorial I took my inspiration from.

I added a gift card pocket using my Honey Bee Stamps pocket die.  Because of the style of the card, I put the interior panel for the note on the front side of the card and the gift card pocket on the back.  

I kept the design simple using patterned paper scraps, rounding the top corners of the "file", adding label sentiments, two older photo corner stickers, and a few enamel dots.  I love the final look and will be making more of these.  

Shopping Notes:
