Choose Your Own Adventure Pocket Easel Cards Tutorial with Simple Stories Simple Vintage Woodlands and Graphic 45 Season to Celebrate August Papers
Hello, Friends! Are you ready for a Choose Your Own Adventure Pocket Easel Cards Tutorial? We’re going to make two cards with two different paper collections and one simple card design. This has fast become one of my favorite Wonderful Wednesday series. And today, as a bonus, I’m using one of the adorable Cluster Pocket Embellishments that we made together 2 weeks as my card front. How fun is that?
Simple Stories Simple Vintage Woodlands Pocket Easel Card
Our first adventure is this 7″ x 5″ easel card. If the card front looks vaguely familiar, that’s because the focal image is one of the Cluster Pocket Embellishments we made 2 weeks ago. Boy, does having a stack of those on hand ever make for a quick studio session!
Add a couple of ephemera pieces to the card background, embellish with a few fall flowers and ribbon, tuck in a couple of wooden buttons and this card is done!
Here’s a peek at the inside. The pocket doubles as the stopper for the easel mechanism. It also gives me a place to tuck in a little journal card and tea envelope.
Graphic 45 Season to Celebrate August Pocket Easel Card
Our second card-making adventure is a bold and bright summery number dressed up with G45 Season to Celebrate. As you can see, the focal image is another little Cluster Pocket Embellishment.
TIP: Stitch panels of patterned paper scraps over a cardstock base to make a custom card background.
Here’s a closer look at the Cluster Pocket inserts. These are such fun to make!
The inside of this card also has tea and honey crystals tucked inside. But I also added the August Journal Cards and a small image from the paper collection to round things out.

It’s so nice when a pretty card comes together quickly! I hope you’ll give this design a try, too.
I’ll be back next week with our Wind Back Wednesday card tutorial. I hope to see you then!

Anything with teacups gets my attention Kathy. The pockets are a great idea providing so many options in papercrafting. I always enjoy watching the way you use little bits and pieces to background the design. Stitching is also that pick me up for a closer look too. Love these cards!
I love these! It is a great way to use leftover embellishments!
The cluster pockets are a great idea to put on the easel cards! I love how you are able to use scrap papers in order to make your project complete. Both cards are beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
