YTPC: Mini Pocket Letter by Little Hot Tamale

HERE is the first swap in our new group!

It's for a mini-pocket letter made from one horizontal strip of a trading card pocket page.

This swap is from one of my favorite YouTube paper crafters: Little Hot Tamale. Her voice (at least to me) is so sweet and lyrical and--best of all--she narrates a speedy version of her crafting. Ever come across a tutorial where you get bored before the tutorial even starts? Not so with Llittle Hot Tamale ;+)

So . . . to allow for some creativity on each crafter's part, you don't have to follow the tutorial exactly. Here are the things you must include:

• a shaker pocket

• a handmade background using paint of some kind (she uses watercolor)

• a crepe paper ruffle or rosette

• at least one punched/handmade decorative element

• a simple handmade tag

• tape of some type (washi or deco) along the punched edge

The colors/theme you use are completely up to you.

This mini-pocket letter does NOT have places for goodies inside the pockets; just create a lovely MPL--front and back--for your partner.

Hope you'll join in our very first swap!
