For this piece, I used the 5952 – Portfolio Template Die Set paired with the bright and cheerful 6012 – Basic Yellow Paper Pack. The combination couldn’t be more fitting for the current AI Challenge: A Pocket Full of Sunshine. I also leaned into a religious theme, making this a meaningful way to feature the 6134 – Light of the World Series Verse Pack.
I began by cutting the portfolio from yellow cardstock and folding it along the score lines. The sunny color instantly set the tone. Using the coordinating dies in the set, I cut additional shapes from the patterned papers in the Basic Yellow pack to layer onto the cover and interior.
To bring in a touch of elegance, I added gold accents using the 5987 – BJ Icon Die Set. These metallic details catch the light beautifully and elevate the entire design.
The front of the portfolio features a small pocket holding two coordinating tags — a sweet little interactive element that adds charm and dimension.
Inside, I decorated the panels with flowers, a Bible, and a lighthouse image, all stamped and colored from the 6126 – Light of the World set. These images pair wonderfully with the verse pack and reinforce the comforting, faith‑centered theme. I closed the center envelope and the portfolio itself with velcro dots. This keeps it secure but opens easily.
On the inside left side, I added another pocket and tag, this time adorned with a delicate cross from the 5909 – Crosses Die Set. For the finishing touch, I included a large gold “Jesus” die cut from the 5986 – Jesus & Joy Dies, which adds a bold and beautiful focal point.
This portfolio came together so smoothly, and the final result brings me both joy and comfort. It’s a bright, faith‑filled piece that feels like a little pocket of sunshine — exactly what the challenge called for.
If you’re looking for a project that blends creativity, meaning, and a touch of sparkle, this one is a wonderful place to start.
