Looking for a fun and creative way to gift small items? Why not make a Mini Pocket Envelope with multiple compartments, perfect for holding gift cards, sweets, and little tags or bookmarks? This simple but charming DIY project is sure to add a personal touch to any gift-giving occasion!
I started with the Take a Bow 6″ x 6″ designer series paper from Stampin’ Up!, which has such a cheerful, festive vibe—perfect for the holidays or any celebration. With just a few scores and folds, I created a compact envelope with three neat pockets. Each pocket is perfectly sized for holding a gift card, a treat, or a sweet little embellished tag.
To decorate, I used the Hang an Ornament stamp and die bundle from Stampin’ Up! The intricate designs on the ornaments gave the envelope a touch of elegance and whimsy. The dies made it easy to cut out the pieces, while the stamps added gorgeous detail to each ornament. A few coordinating embellishments finished off the look!
This mini pocket envelope is so versatile—it can be customized to suit any occasion. Whether you’re gifting a holiday card, a birthday surprise, or just a sweet treat for a friend, this project adds a special, handmade touch that everyone will appreciate.
Give it a try and let your creativity shine!
Instructions:
- Prepare Your Paper: Start with a 6″ x 6″ piece of Take a Bow designer series paper (or any decorative paper you prefer).
- Score the Sides: Use a scoring tool to score the paper at 1-5/8″ on both sides of the paper (the left and right edges). This creates the side flaps for your mini pocket envelope.
- Score the Bottom: Next, score the paper at 1-7/8″ along the bottom edge of the paper. This creates the bottom flap of the envelope that will fold up to form the pockets.
- Fold and Assemble: Fold along all of your score lines—two side flaps and the bottom flap. Use adhesive to secure the sides of the envelope, leaving the top open. This creates three pockets, each perfectly sized to hold a gift card, a small treat, or a little tag.
- Decorate: To decorate the envelope, embellish with ribbons, stamps, or other decorations to match your theme.
