Pocket Letter Page Swap - Sign Up Here!

Hello friends - if you recall last fall I asked about interest in a Pocket Letter swap and there seemed to be enough interest to proceed.  Now that the holidays are over it's time to give it a go!

Pocket Letter Page Swap
Sign Ups - 1-12 through 1-22
Ship Date 2-5-16

(YES, this swap is open to international friends!)

First question some people might have - what is a pocket letter?  Think of Pocket Letters as a set of ATC's with a few extra goodies thrown in.  Basically you take a 9 hole Baseball Card page; make an ATC for each space (more on this later) and tuck in little surprises behind each card...and don't forget the letter part!


Each pocket can hold a card with the same general theme yet each with a different design.


You could design a single page that you then cut into 9 sections, one for each pocket.


You could choose different designs for each card.


Or it could focus on a single color scheme.

Whatever you choose your pocket letter should be filled with art from your heart! 

Remember the back is just as important as the front of your Pocket Letter.  You should add a letter in one of the pockets, telling the recipient a bit about yourself, maybe about where you live, work, your art, etc.  The remaining 8 pockets can be filled with anything you can fit inside...it could be stickers, die-cuts, sticky back gems, buttons, eyelets, vintage ephemera, washi tape, glitter tape, fibers, ribbon, charms, pins, brads, twine, felt pieces, gemstones, etc.  Virtually anything you can think of.  You can also add little treats too - tea, cocoa, sweets, mints, etc. 

HOW IT WORKS: 

  • You can sign up here for one or two spots - Sign ups run from today through 1-22.
  • Once sign ups are closed I will send you a name and address of the person you will be sending your Pocket Letter to. 
  • Make a pocket letter and fill it with goodness (you can start on this right now if you like).
  • You should mail your Pocket Letter to the recipient no later than February 5th, of course you can send it earlier if you would like.  Once your pocket letter has been mailed, send me an e-mail with the confirmation number so I can keep track of everyone's progress and to make sure nobody is forgotten.
  • Stalk the mailman for happy mail!
