Description:

Simply create a pocket letter - sender's choice - in which the fronts of the 6 pockets are decorated in the theme of where you live. The other 3 are your choice. For example if you live in Germany, at least 6 pockets should be related to your country. The only exception is the US. You will have the choice to do either your country or state where you live. Each piece of craft paper/card background must measure 3.5 by 2.5 inches. They will fit perfectly into the clear pocket sleeve.

One of the pockets needs to have a short About your country letter tucked in the back of it.

Each of the other pockets has goodies tucked into them such as a tea bag, washi tape samples, stickers, pretty paper backgrounds (3.5 by 2.5 inch), tags, coins, candy, embellishments, etc totally up to the sender.

Once completed, fold the pocket letter into thirds and it fits in a normal business sized envelope.

In a nutshell

Each pocket has a piece of paper or card measuring 2.5 by 3.5 inches. Each piece of paper/card is decorated in some way. Sender's choice. One pocket has 'About your country' letter tucked in behind decorated front. swap name and username on introductory letter. remaining pockets filled with goodies- sender's choice. If possible please use postage stamps, not label. Please do the nicest you can, imagining you were to receive what you have made.

HAPPY SWAPPING Γ’β„’Β₯

Hi :) Since I'm not from US and I have no idea what's going on (but I watched a videa about pocket letters and I TOTALLY loved it so I'd love to participate) I have few questions: - Since I had no idea how many centimeters these inches would it be (3,5 is about 8,89 which is hillarous), can it be a little bigger/smaller? - what measurements are these anyway? of a normal business cards maybe? (that would make things easier because my next question is: where am I supposed to get clear pocket sleeve) - there is no "normal business sized envelopes" here in Poland so I'd have to use a different one anyway :)

3.5" X 2.5" = 8.89 cm X 6.35cm. A standard business envelope is (

11 X 22 cm I think..

Thanks siouxx55! Here is also a link to pocket letters from the creator. http://janettelane.blogspot.com/2015/02/whats-pocket-letter-and-more-faqs.html I am not sure what the 9 pocket trading sleeves are called in Poland. Does anyone international from the US have any ideas??

Thanks

Love this idea, @Sallyo

@Aleksis I would look online to buy the 9-pocket sleeve card protectors...

Until then, if you would like, I can mail you a couple of the sleeves. I could have them in the mail for you today. The average travel time for mail to get to Poland from the US is eleven days, according to my Postcrossing stats. If you go ahead and create all the inside parts that you want to add, then by the time you get them, you should be able to just insert it all and be ready in time before the deadline, but of course, I can not guarantee that it will mail exactly in that time frame. So even if it's too risky for this swap, at least you will have a couple for the next one.

Just send me a personal message, if you would like me to mail you a couple of the sleeves.

ATC's are the size of a playing card.
