I really like it when I can create some gift packaging using my papercrafting supplies. I especially love it when I can decorate ordinary gift items with Designer Series Paper to make a themed gift idea for someone special. Enter in the Loaded Pocket Envelope pattern! The Loaded Pocket Envelope is made from one piece of 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper and can be filled with all kinds of items for gift-giving. I created four different themed gift ideas using this easy-to-make pattern: Stationary, Gardening, Get Well, and Spa Day.
Tucked inside (or LOADED inside I should say) of the pockets are all kinds of fun items. I encourage you to watch the video tutorial for ideas and inspiration for creating your own Loaded Pocket Envelopes. Download the pdf to help guide you while creating.
The Loaded Pocket Envelopes in 4 Themes
For my stationary themed loaded pocket envelope I am using Frames & Flowers Designer Series Paper (this is brand new and will be released on May 1st, 2024). This paper comes with 3 amazing 12 x 12 sheets of paper and 3 sheets of die cuts. I created 6 cards, a sticky note holder, and a covered mini notebook to stuff inside along with my favorite Sharpie Gel pen.
Stationary Theme
Garden Theme
My garden-themed loaded pocket envelope is created with the Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper and stuffed with a package of 4 cards, a seed packet matchbook holder, seed pops, seed tape, pruning tool, and a plant stake.
Get Well Theme
This pocket-of-love is sure to make someone’s day. I used the Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper and filled it with a get-well card, a tea bag matchbook holder, an instant soup packet, travel size acetaminophen and antacid and a drink mix.
Here is how you make the matchbook tea bag holder. Find the dimensions in the pdf.
Spa Day Theme
This loaded pocket envelope uses the Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper. I decorated some Burt’s Bees chapstick, lotion, headband, a double pocket tea bag holder, a nail file holder, a Ghirardelli Chocolate Square matchbook and lots of face masks! The dimensions for creating the nail file holder, tea bag holder and matchbook are in the pdf.
I hope you have loved these projects and can think of one or two people on your gift-giving list who might enjoy a Loaded Pocket Envelope stuffed to the brim with decorated loveliness! Happy creating!

Love this so much!!
Thank you, Jenny!
Do you have a list of all your templates? I would be interested in receiving it if you do. I still work so not always able to watch live but enjoying replays and adding to my idea file. Thanks for all your brilliant ideas.
Hi Donna! If you go to my Resource Library tab there are just about all the playdates there in order. The Card Templates tab have the 22 templates in order starting at most recent. I need an assistant to help me create a better organized list!!!
Love this!
Thank you, Jerry!

Hi Robin,
This idea is simply marvelous. I have my own monthly classes (13 years so far) and each class has a project. I am always looking for different ideas. I was looking for ideas using the new Frames and Flowers DSP and came across your idea. I am sure my customers will love this. Thank you so very much for sharing!!

This idea is brilliant! My mind is going 90 miles an hour. I want this paper pack too. So many ideas. Thank you so much, you are a wonderful teacher as well.
Thank you, Mallory! I’m so happy to hear that your brain is spinning! That’s my goal. 😁
What a clever way to make an awesome gift! Since I’ve read your post, I’ve made multiples and gave to some respite folks to hopefully cheer them, as birthday favors, and for some friends that had surgery. All appreciated!
Thank you!
Yay! I’m so glad you have already put this idea to use!
