Have you heard about Pocket Letters? I stumbled across a picture on Instagram and immediately fell in love. Basically it's a way to use pocket scrapbooking to write pen pals. I'm doing one time swaps instead of ongoing pen pals, but you can do either! It's standard to use baseball card dividers but some people are using different sizes.
I used a Simple Stories 6x6 paper pad to make this kit. Since these are one time swaps, I'm including a small "About Me" in each letter.
This is My Mind's Eye Market Street collection. I also used some gold MAMBI stickers. I included things like paper clips, washi, stickers, and tea.
I used pop dots to attach these wood veneers. Hopefully the recipient can remove them easily if she wants to use them in her scrapbooking.
I had some scraps leftover from Crate Paper's On Trend collection.
I had fun using die cuts to make filler cards.
I love reading each and every comment! Be sure to keep up with me on Instagram, Pinterest, and
Such pretty letters, Emily, no doubt the recipients enjoyed them and I can't wait to get mine! xo

DeleteReally *love* your style Emily! I found your blog searching pocket letters on Pinterest and immediately was drawn to your lovely coordinating dp, positive quotes and perfect embellishments! It would be a pleasure to trade PL's with you sometime. I've been a rubber stamping cardmaker and scrapbooker for years, but this is a FUN new interest.

ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you stopped by my blog, Pam!! I will definitely check out your blog. I'm a bit overwhelmed with Pocket Letters at the moment, so I'm not signing up for any more swaps right now.
