Hello all! I've fallen in love with pocket letters! They're so much fun to make and great to receive <3

If you don't know what a pocket letter is here is a video that explains what pocket letters are there are MANY other videos on YouTube as well so check them all out of you're feeling confused!

You do not have to decorate the back of these but it might be nice to do since a lot of people collect these in binders :)

The theme for this pocket letter is blue! The color doesn't have to be included in every pocket but it should be mainly blue. Tuck a little surprise into the pocket and include a short letter in in of the pockets

Things you could include:

  • ribbon

  • sequins

  • buttons

  • stickers

  • cosmetic/lotion/perfume samples

  • Washi tape

  • ATC

  • photographs

  • stamps

  • anything small and flat that will fit in a pocket!

This should be able to be folded into thirds and will fit into a long envelope. You will most likely need to use two stamps for this. If you feel like it's too thick you should take it to the post office and they will check it for you!

The required rating for this swap is 4.9 and at least 3 type 3 swaps. No unrated users will be allowed. I will be checking profiles. Please make sure you have a well filled out profile. That includes filling out your about me and having a likes and dislikes list. No recent one's or three's. I will angel so this swap is insured! But only after you've triedto resolve the problem with your partner and rated them a 1

If you have any questions please message me!

How many of the pockets should include gift/goodies?

@quirkandbramble at least 9 pockets should be decorated and you should try to include something in every pocket. It could just be a sticker that goes along with the theme or a charm or something small.

At the risk of being a pain in the butt... I'm wondering would it be okay to include multiple things in a smaller number of pockets? Just for design purposes, if I want to label a particular pocket for the contents of it.

Like, for example, you're done decorating all of the pockets and you've decided to send several stickers, a few die cuts, a card of washi samples, and some other small item; could you group all the stickers and die cuts together in two pockets instead of spreading them out over all of the pockets? Even if that means some of the pockets don't have any "goodies" in them?

Let me know if that doesn't make sense.

Sure, that sounds fine to me. there are multiple ways to make pocket letters and everyone has their own way they like to do it!

What I do is decorate the front and I'll put goodies in the front that go with the decor. If they don't really match but I want to include it anyways I'll just tuck it into the back, that way it doesn't mess up the flow :P

Okay, cool! Thanks for letting me know. I just didn't want to break the rules of the swap if there was a particular/exact style intended, or something. =)
