Description:

We did this fun swap back at Christmas time; let's do it again. It came from @DixieDiane

  • Start with a note card, used or new. It can be blank inside or have a greeting.
  • Tape 2 sides of the card closed. These 2 sides, along with the natural fold, will leave one side open. It will either be the top or the bottom depending on the card orientation). This creates the pocket.
  • Into the pocket put some papery items from your stash (stickers, pretty papers, recipes, punch-outs or die-cuts, decorative tape samples, etc.). It’s always nice to check your partner’s profile to see what you have that they might enjoy. Also add a little happy note telling about your day, or maybe what’s happening at your church this month.
  • Aim for making it a little puffy (one to two ounces; 49 to 71 cents).
  • Tape the pocket closed. This sealed card pocket will be sent “naked” (no envelope) through the mail.
  • Address the plain side, add appropriate postage, and mail it off to your partner to brighten their day.

P.S. I received a tip on securing these pockets (as sometimes the tape lifts up with minimal moisture in transit) and that is to make sure its secure by adding a strip of tape completely around from side to side and top to bottom.

Please see my "P.S." above.

That is how I did it to begin with-tape on edges all around and I also put a staple in the middle on each side end (not bottom or top). Staple and then squash the staple using plyers to flatten it out.
