I used the diagonal double pocket tutorial - Diagonal Double Pocket Card Tutorials at Splitcoaststampers. Thank goodness I tried a mock-up with arrows drawn on copy paper, otherwise my birds would have been upside down on the main front of the card, I wasn't so worried about the upper corner.
For Pat's "use it" element, I'd say the eyelets and ribbon are both heading towards 20 years old, and the scallop punch I used for the sentiment is also older.
I had a totally different idea for the card till I read about the fox mascot. Umbrella-loving me couldn't resist Playing in the Rain, and after that the pocket card seemed a good way to go. I added it to a card base, so it's slightly bigger than A2 and I made a custom envelope for it.

Great choice to switch -- this is adorable and I love that you added the fox (with an umbrella no less) onto the card. The font on the sentiment tag is really cool. Love the design, the papers and overall fun feel to this. Wonderful card to send a paper hug and a bit of encouragement.

The double pocket design is fab with the tag and the cute little fox!

SO cute and you are right I would never have noticed the "wayward" birds in the upper corner if you hadn't drawn attention to it. The tags are darling and One of my favorite sentiments here.
