Description:

We will have 1 partner & will be sending them a pocket letter with a vintage theme.

Pocket letters are made using 9-pocket trading card sleeves. Each pocket is filled with something like stickers, paper ephemera, an ATC, a teabag, washi tape samples, etc. and one of the pockets must have a letter for your partner written by you.

You can decorate the outside of the pockets with washi tape, ribbon, paper clips, etc but this is not required; just 1 item inside each pocket minimum. Each pocket is small, around ATC size, so small/tiny items are fit into the pockets best. You may need to fold some items to fit inside the pocket, like your letter, any book pages, paper stock, etc. Please be tasteful if folding any items and if it is best unfolded either trim/cut down the item or find something smaller.

It's senders choice when it comes to what you wish to put in each pocket, but must have a vintage theme.

Ideas for this theme:

  • Air mail themes

  • Used postage stamps

  • Brown, grays, creams / black and white / rustic pieces

  • Vintage / old scrolls, written pieces, postcards, ATCs

  • Old book pages (may need to be folded)

  • Small black and white photographs

  • Travel / maps

  • Snail mail motifs - envelope shape, snail, mail quotes

  • Mail tag

  • Handwritten letter (MUST be included in your pocket letter)

  • Old clocks, watches, typewriter images

  • White lace, buttons, old keys

  • Classic childrens books & illustrations

Tasteful items and obviously can be used and worn

Have fun and don't put any pressure on yourself! We won't be rating on your artistic ability at ALL. If you receive a pocket letter with 9 pockets, minimum 1 item in each pocket, one of the pockets has a letter in it for your partner, and the other items are a vintage theme, then you've done a good job! :)

Please include a note for your partner with swap name & your username so you can be rated quickly.
