Library pocket with attached back
One continuous piece containing the back, folding front and two side tabs. The size below describes the finished outer rectangle.

Finished outside size · BG07-a

Digital candidate r0.9. Printing, paper thickness and assembly fit still need physical checks.

Fold and fit notes

Cut solid outlines, fold dashed lines and apply glue only to hatched GLUE areas. Keep the opening clear. Check the 50 mm ruler before cutting.

Fold the front toward the unprinted reverse. The reveal above the front is intentionally plain in this single-sided trial; orientation is still awaiting a physical check.

Target card compatibility is a test plan, not a verified fit claim.

Ways to use this sheet

Make a library note page

Follow P02 to arrange this pocket on botanical grid paper with a loose BG05 card, a label and a floral accent. Leave room above the opening to remove the card.

Keep one longer memory together

Use a large note card for the story of a visit or a garden observation. Label the surrounding page rather than covering the opening of the sleeve.

Check front and back orientation

Keep the whole outline together. Fold the front toward the unprinted reverse of the back, with its decoration facing outward, then attach only the two side tabs. The exposed area above the front is plain in this single-sided design.

How is this different from the page pocket?

BG07 includes its own back panel and forms a taller sleeve. BG06 is a shorter decorated front that uses your journal page as the back.

Why is the front upside down on the flat sheet?

The front turns over along the fold at the base of the back panel. Check the folding steps in P02 before gluing so the fern and heading face outward in the assembled layout.
