-I started with a 6x6 inch piece of DSP and scored at 3" and 3".
-Directional DSP is tricky with this type of fold. Using the picture in Step 3 of the tutorial as your guide, make sure the design you want on top is facing you but the pattern is upside down with the cut to your left (as shown in the picture). Be sure to check this out before you make the cut!
-This results in one more challenge... after folding, the DSP showing in the upper right-hand corner is the same as the "focal" pattern but is upside down. Since I couldn't live with that , I cut that corner off and attached the folded DSP to a 3x3 inch piece of Real Red card stock. It worked out great because it makes the card a little sturdier.
-I also trimmed the flaps that fold underneath so that they still folded under but there wasn't so much that it made the card bulky.
-The finished size of the tags are 2x3 inches and 2x2-3/4 inches. The first one says "xoxo" and second one says "Happy Valentine's Day." I tried putting some flat candy in it, but it was just too bulky.
-The hearts are attached with dimensionals.
TFL!

Great double pocket card. These were all the rage a few years back--so glad you brought it back. Your explanation on how to make all the papers work is really great. Thank you for doing that.
Thanks for sharing such a great technique. My favorite tip? Cut out some of the bulkiness!

Aha! You've figured out a key to making directional patterns work with these! Wooooohoooooo!! (Guess who flubbed big time on this quite some time ago ... hmmmmm?) LOL
Love that you've made it work with 6x6 paper stacks!
