Crafting dies can be incredibly versatile tools, and I can’t wait to share with you how they can transform your projects from simple to stunning. From intricate patterns to playful shapes, the possibilities are endless. So, grab your crafting supplies and let’s dive into this fun and inspiring project together. In today’s video, I’m going to show you step-by-step how to design these charming pocket cards, and along the way, I’ll reveal some clever tips and tricks for using those craft dies.
Today, I’m thrilled to share a super cute boho baby card-making project with you. In this step-by-step video tutorial, we’ll be designing charming pocket cards, perfect for baby showers or as adorable gifts. For this project, we’ll be using a few die collections from Trinity Stamps, including my favorite Simply Sentimental Celebration collection and the versatile Papercut Characters collection. Below, you will find the list of supplies I used and the measurements needs to create these two cards.

Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Create the Pocket:
- Start with a 6×8 pattern paper and trim it down to 5″ x 8″.
- Using a bone folder, score the paper:
- Place the short side at the top and score at ½”.
- Flip the paper and score again at ½” from the other side.
- Rotate the paper so the longer side is at the top, and score at 2 ½”.
- Place the short side at the top. Ensure the horizontal score line is closer to the bottom. Cut along the ½” score line from the top to the score line on each side.
- To create tabs, cut the ½” sections at an angle right above the score line.
- Fold the side tabs in and the lower portion of the pocket up. Burnish the folds with a bone folder for crisp edges.
- Use liquid adhesive, double-sided tape, or redline tape to adhere the tabs to the inside of the pocket, ensuring the adhesive is secure enough to hold a gift card.
2. Create the Tag:
- Cut a piece of cardstock to 3 ¾” wide by 5 ½” tall.
- If you have a tag die, use it; otherwise, create a template from printer paper to help cut the angles at the top of the tag.
After assembling the pocket and tag, decorate the pocket with stitched circles, baby outfits, and a celebrate sentiment. For my project, I chose a boho color palette, but feel free to use any prints or patterns from your own collection.
The pocket cards fit into a standard A2 size envelope. You can add a stamped sentiment, photos, or tape a gift card or two onto the tag. These pockets also fit a chocolate bar, making them perfect table setting pieces or gifts for baby shower guests.
The layered paper baby clothes were especially fun to create with the mix of dies and pattern paper. Just a few pen details brought the pieces of clothing to life, and I love the final look.
In the video, I’ll show you how I made the baby clothes using the Papercut Character collections. Check out the video tutorial for a detailed walkthrough and additional tips.
My adorable boho baby cards are designed to celebrate baby showers in style! My goal was to show you how mixing and matching different pieces from the collections can create endless possibilities for baby clothing pieces on these cards. I hope you enjoy this project as much as I did.
