Description:

After good feedback from the profile based pick my Envie swap, I thought I would host a pocket letter themed one. :) Please read all requirements/info before clicking join! Thank you.

Basics

1) 1 partner, international. 2) Take 1 nine pocket sleeve. Baseball/ pokemon card, trading card sleeves; any of these will do. 3) NOT senders or profile based regarding themes; read below for more info. 4) a handwritten letter in one (or many) of the pockets is required.

Requirements

You'll be creating a "pocket letter" for your partner using a 9 pocket trading card sleeve.

Each pocket in the sleeve will be filled with paper ephemera, stickers, stationery, art or something of the kind for your partner and a handwritten letter in a minimum of 1 pocket.

This swap the theme is you pick my pocket letter which means that;

  • when joining the swap you will comment below with 5 themes, colours, things you collect, etc that you enjoy. Please do this when joining or I will remove you before assigning partners.

  • when you are assigned a partner you will find their comment and make a pocket letter based on what they asked for.

  • profile based can be overwhelming so instead you don't need to look at your partners profile if you don't wish to, you can just choose a minimum of two things they asked for in the comments and use those.

  • when commenting below with your 5 themes/colours/collections please don't be very picky. Examples of what to ask for could be; cats, the colour green, airmail, black and white, humour, handmade, paper clips, images from fashion magazines, vintage, zigzag pattern, sticky notes. these are examples only.

You can choose a minimum of 2 things your partner asked for or use all of them, that part is senders choice :)

But I don't understand, what do I PUT in each pocket?!?!

~ You could do art work; an ATC, a drawing on a piece of paper or card, a gelli plate print, a tag... Something edible; a tea bag, a mini snack. Mixed media; buttons, ribbons. Washi tape samples, stickers, sticky notes, ATC samples/decorated papers and die cuts, magazine clippings/cut outs (nice ones), tags and mini bookmarks... You could put craft supplies in your pockets, for example ephemera/swap supplies. Small pieces of attractive papers, collage pieces, stickers/embellishments, nice quotes. The ideas are endless!

~ This pocket letter requires a handwritten letter in one pocket. Please don't send just a note (like what you would usually send with your username and swap name) this should be a penpal letter. Write about yourself, what you are upto this summer, where you live, what you are having for dinner, what you like about your hometown, or what your pets are called. Anything goes.

~ Your pocket sleeve can be folded and fit into a business envelope to keep postage down.

~ Please include a little note for your partner with your swap username & the swap name so you can be rated easily. :)

Enjoy & happy swapping.The swap picture is just an example of a random pocket letter found on Google and is not what is required for this swap

Great idea!

And I am definitely okay with combining any of these, I can imagine it might be hard to do 9 pockets of Hedgehogs LOL (though it would be awesome 8-D)
