A pocket letter for Marie

Hi there friends! I have a new pocket letter to share with you! I can't count the number of these I have made now but I find them very fun to make, especially when I have a specific recipient in mind ;) This one was sent to my friend Marie in Belgium (@mariefriant on IG).

I started with papers and acrylic embellishments from a year old scrapbooking kit by Scraptastic Club, then I dove into my stash to find more matching goodies, oh how I love this part!

I always try to include a good variety of items, like washi samples, die-cuts, enamel dots, tags, a quote and a tea bag. I also like to include homemade paper clips and some of my favorite mini-flairs from Feed Your Craft.

I often time add things outside, on top of the pockets. It can be a larger die-cut or a little stitched banner with the name of the recipient, anything that adds dimension or that can be manipulated/opened is fun.

There is no right or wrong way of making a pocket letter and you'll find so many different styles out there (just look up #pocketletters on Instagram and you'll see!). I have been lucky to receive a few from very talented ladies but I can not bring myself to actually use the goodies in them or take them apart :P I keep them as is for now because they inspire me!

Have you ever sent or received a pocket letter? What do you do with them?
