Pocket Letter Swap to DeAnna

Do you want to join a pocket letter swap? We are still holding our monthly tea and pocket letter swaps. Send me an email if you are interested in joining!

This is a Pocket Letter I created for my partner, DeAnna, in January.  The theme was Valentines Day in Pink, Red and Silver

Pocket Letter Swap

We continue to have both the Tea and Pocket Letter Swaps each month.  Here is a sample that Brenda created for me last month.  The theme “Try a New Technique in a Color Scheme Not used before”:

Brenda used dragonflies on this PLS.  I love dragonflies!  Each pocket contains hidden goodies like diecuts, bling, die cuts, flowers, etc.

Brenda said she used her new Bo-Bunny Papers and embellishments. She also used a new dragonfly diecut and The Art Anthology Sorbet-Dimension Paint with a new stencil from Delta.

Love the bright Orange and Green Colors on this Pocket Letter!

If you are interested in joining us, send me an email! I'll post a tea swap recently received from Dori next. Thank you for stopping by!

Pocket Letter Swap

Each month, we have a pocket letter swap and a tea swap. The pocket letter swap has become quite popular recently and involves filling a 9 pocket trading card sleeve with goodies and mailing it to your partner. One must also add a personal letter to the receiver for that is what makes it a letter. It can be mailed flat into a 9 x 11 mailing envelope or folded in thirds and placed in a legal size envelope.

For the creator of the pocket letter, all the odd number crafting embellishments are put into good use. The small size of the pockets shouts at you to be filled. Then your imagination and creativity are released because it seems so easy to fill out one small sized pocket. Anything goes, as long as it fits into the 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 pockets.  Sometimes there are pockets inside pockets.

The sky is the limit when decorating these fun pocket letters. In fact, I have a hard time knowing when to stop adding things and I just keep on adding, and adding.

For the receiver of the pocket letter, it is always a surprise to see what the creator has created for you. Each little space are filled with little goodies.

Create a pocket letter today and gift it to someone! Or better yet, consider joining our monthly pocket letter swap!
