For a Crafty Friend...

A few months ago, Pretty Cute Stamps came out with some wonderful craft sets.

When I saw Knit Happens and Sew Amazing, I knew I had to get both of them for cards and pocket letters for my craftiest of friends!

Time flies when summer is around...

but this week, I created this pocket letter show casing hobbies for one of the most crafties ladies I know!  She exels at yarn crafts, sewing, paper crafting...

If you haven't discovered Pocket Letters, here is the 411.

You fill up a baseball card sleeve with 9 amazing ATCs.

They can have a theme based on color or subject matter...

be simple random.  

Behind each ATC, tuck in some flat goodies, extra die cuts, self adhesive bling, bandaids, ribbon, washi samples, twine, etc.  Basically, shop your stash and then spoil your pal!

Remember to add a hand written letter to your pal in one of those pockets too.

This was such fun to make...

and I think she is going to enjoy this pocket letter.

Now, the question is, will see see this on the blogs or FB...

will see know it is for her...

will it be a surprise when it arrives in the mail box later this week?

Time will tell!

Thanks for taking time away from your Labor Day festivities! 

Now, go eat some BBQ, suck on a popcicle, splash in the pool...

summer is winding down!!

Pocket Letters!

 Recently I learned about this new trend...

Pocket Letter Pals.

Squeal...

they are so, so, so cute!

I have made three so far...

for very specific people in mind.  I sure enjoy designing with a special someone in mind when I work!

For, my (not so) secret sister, Mary....

I LOVE these colors..and happy sentiments!

Inside is a note from me. (#8) I made it into a booklet.

There is bling and washi tape samples...some flowers and sequins.  (I sure hope she isn't reading this!)

This one is for another cyber friend...

she said she liked yellow and bold colors. 

So, it's a sunny greeting!

I stamped some fun images for her to use on her own cards in that little file folder!

The "oh Happy Day!" is actually a Fiskars Project Life stamp....squeal!

Thirdly, this stellar pocket letter is going to my 7 year old neice...

who enjoys texting me on her mother's phone! hehehe. I think she will love the

pretty kitty bandaids from Ikea...and the new hair ribbons that I tucked inside.

That "hello sunshine" is actually a book mark!

I sure am looking forward to swapping these!  But for now, I will just spoil my friends!

Up next...a musical one for a cyber pal I haven't communicated in some time!!

Some supplies I used:

Removable Glue Dots ® are perfect for closing flaps and sticking things for a temporary solution in my pockets.

All God's Children from Stampin Up (#3 pocket)

Heidi Swapp die cuts (#3 pocket)

lots of washi!!

Oh my...now I am realizng this is going to take too long to list. 

So, admire...and be jealous!!

Oh and if you want a better explanation...
