Another Mixed Media Pocket Letter Part 2

There isn't much that I love creating more than Mixed Media art, combine that with my obsession for Pocket Letters and it makes my little artistic heart go pitterpat! :)

9 pockets of mixed media goodness with some goodies thrown in! I kept it pretty simple. You can see the me create the base here. I just loving digging into paint and getting messy. I hope my swap partner likes it.

Bring on the pocket letters!

Hidee ho friends! I am so behind in sharing my pocket letters, both outgoing and incoming. I seriously have about 10 on my desk waiting to have their mug shots. There are all so lovely and painstakingly crafter that I can't just shove them in the binder without their proper due. I think I may have a sickness. ;)



Still, there are worse things in the world then having piles of happy mail waiting for you. I have been busy with life stuff, and Sherbert Ink stuff. I have big plans in the works. Shh, don't tell! Teehee. In the meantime please excuse the dust around here as I move stuff around and make things sparkly and new. I promise it will be worth it.

Outgoing from me.

Also outgoing from me. I am loving these layers!

Ok, kids that is all I have for now. I must get some laundry done before my family stages a dirty laundry sit-in. xoxo~

Red, White, & Blue Pocket Letter~

Happy Saturday friends! I wanted to pop in and say "Hi"! I have a quick and fun pocket letter video for you. It's Red, White, and Blue (mostly). :)

I totally fell in love with the pinwheel vine! It's just so cute!

All of the details are in the video. I have to run because I have Eastery things to do with my kidlets. Have a beautiful weekend and thanks for stopping by.

Outgoing Pocket Letters~

I am almost caught up on all of my Pocket Letters. That doesn't mean I won't be making more. I just need to focus on some other Mixed Media art stuff right now. 




Today however, I do have two more to share with you and a video to go with them. I just can't help myself! :)

It's all pretty standard, lovely bits of paper meet washi tape, paperclips, ribbon, paper punches and more. I dug deep into my stash for this paper pack. I have no idea what it is called, it's so old. So, I am giving it new life. Hurrah!

Alright, kids that's all I have for today. Thanks for stopping by. You rock!

Doctor Who Pocket Letter~

I have a confession. I am a nerd girl and a Whovian. I just adore Doctor Who! It was only a matter of time before my love of Pocket Letters collided with my love of Doctor Who. The result is so fantastic I'm sure it will send a ripple effect of awesomeness into the cosmos. Well, maybe not that far. ;)

This picture shows the bookmark that I included. I handmade most of it. Some of the products I purchased from Etsy. There is a pretty awesome selection of Doctor Who products there. A few of the images I borrowed from online. They are not my property, and I am giving credit where I can.

The view without the bookmark and washi tape paperclip flag. I really hope that my friend likes it! She is making me a Doctor Who Pocket Letter too. I have to admit that this turned out so well that I am making one for my own collection. I just can't help myself, it makes my geeky little heart go pitterpat! 

I have included a list with links to the Etsy stores down below. If you would like to see the full tutorial of this pocket letter check out the video. As ever thank for stopping by! Allons-y!

Mixed Media Pocket Letter Part 2~

I finally finished my Mixed Media Pocket letter. It had to spend a few days under a heavy book to help the page uncurl. I guess that's what you get when you use wet medium on card stock. I love how I was able to merge two things I really enjoy, Mixed media (art journaling) and Pocket Letters.

I kept adding bits of this and bits of that and I LOVE the way it turned out. I can definitely see making more mixed media pocket letters in the future. I hope my friend likes it! I included a small tutorial for the pinwheel paperclips. Don't tell but I kind of want to keep it for myself but I won't. Anyway, I hope you have enjoyed this Mixed Media Pocket letter series. It was fun to make. TTYL.

Making Pocket Letters 2~

Hi and hello! It is a beautiful day here but before I run out and enjoy the sun with the wee ones I thought I would share a little Pocket letter fun. 






I have to confess that I am a teeny tiny bit obsessed with Pocket letters right now. I may or may not think about them when I am sleeping. ;)

The Pinwheel paperclips are just the cutest!

How can I help myself when there are just so many lovely ladies to trade with and so many options for creating them. Hello, my name is Stephanie and I am a Pocket Letter addict.

Pocket Letters 2~

Nothing makes me day quite like happy mail. These two beauties came to me from friends in New York and California. Thank you ladies for making me feel so spoiled!

Their pocket letters are so lovely and filled with bits and pieces of goodness. Check out the video to explore all of the pockets with me.

Pocket Letter, Start to Finish~

Hey friends! I am back with more Pocket Letter fun! Can you even stand it? I promise to show something artsy soon. I have been making art too and not just playing with Pocket Letters and editing videos. It's just too much fun! :)

The completed pocket letter. I had so much fun working with this Basic Grey paper (What's up). 

A close up view of the folded PL. I love how the corner bookmark nests right there in the corner, like it was MTB (meant to be). ;)

I almost forgot to share the adorable little paperclip flag that is adorning the middle right pocket. I can't wait to make many more!

A close up of the corner bookmark. I kind of want to keep it for myself! Of course that wouldn't be very nice. I suppose i'll just have to make more. :)
Video is down below. Unfortunately, it is a bit long. Best grab yourself a beverage. I swear I whittled it down but I didn't want to trim out any of the good bits. TTFN!

Making Pocket Letters

Viva la Pocket Letter!

Hello friends! We had a crazy weekend here, which I will share later in the week. I finally made it to my PO Box and had three lovely Pocket Letters waiting from me. Yay, for Happy Mail!

These gorgeous happy letters seriously made my day! They came to me from Ohio, Georgia, and Canada! I just couldn't get over the care and love that went into each of them. It made me feel really spoiled. I am do excited to fill my Pocket Letter binder with these beautiful treasures from new friends all around the globe. Long live snail mail! :) I wanted to share what is in each lovely little pocket so I filmed a Pocket Letter video.


If you would like more information about Pocket Letters you can check out #PocketLetterPals on Instagram, there is a group on Facebook or you can visit Janette Lane's blog. She is the creator of the Pocket Letter concept and has many resources on her blog. There are also a lot of pictures popping up on Pinterest if you want some Pocket Letter inspiration.

Just as a word of advice, as much as I love happy mail please exercise caution when exchanging personal information with people you meet online. :

Getting Postale~

We are having an early Spring here in the Pacific Northwest. It makes me feel really bad for my friends to the East who are buried under record snow. Still, it was a holiday today which means NO SCHOOL, I was grateful that the littles could play outside! I mailed a big batch of Pocket Letters off to my friends on Friday. Today I was able to finish my list with these little lovies!

I used retired Making Memories Postcard scrapbook paper. I had 4 to make so I kept all of them mostly the same. I loaded the pockets up with paper star cutouts, tea, sticky notes, a moo business card, letter, ribbon bookmark, punch out quote, stickers, mini tags, canvas label, paper flowers, and washi tape samples. I so hope my pals like them. I really have had fun making these little Pocket Letters. It's awesome knowing that something I have made is out there in the world, hopefully brightening someones day. I received three of them on Friday and they are so beautiful and made me feel so nice. I will share the completed PocketBook (as creator Janette Lane calls them :)) with you once I receive all of my swaps. I think I am done swapping for now but, it has been such a lovely experience I just had to share it here. Sending you sunshine and warm weather wherever you are.

More Pocket Letters~

Run by post today friends. I have come down with a horrible cold. I just got the kid's out the door for school and my plan is to climb back into bed and sleep. Before I do that I wanted to share a few more Pocket Letters with you. I am quite addicted to making these little beauties! It's just so much fun!!!

Saturday I was able to make a few of them. I love how I am using up my stash. I chose two coordinating sheets of retired Stamping' Up! paper so that it would coordinate and look all purdy!

This is just a slight variation of the one above it. 

For this one I thought it would be fun to "think pink"! :) Lots of little odds and ends tucked into these precious little pockets (washi tape, cut outs, mini tags, tea, sticky notes, paper flags, paper flowers and a few embellished cards). Just like before I have included a mini Moo business card that has my art work on it, for fun and it has my contact info. Really I just think it adds a little bit more of my personality into what I am sending.

If you want more information on this awesome Pocket Letter adventure the creator Janette Lane has some great resources on her blog.

Well, I am off to bed. TTFN!

Pocket Letter Pals~

Hi and Hello! I know it's been so very long since I posted. Well, I am back and I have something really fun to share with you. Pocket Letter Pals. What to heck is that, you ask? 

This is a pocket Letter. The idea came from the brilliant Janette Lane. Check out her blog for all of the specifics and a great video too. Basically, it's a fun way to send Pen Pal letters in a 9 pocket trading card sleeve. Each pocket holds various little treasures (sticky notes, pretty paper clips, tags, tea, washi tape samples, and a letter). 

This is what it looks like from the back. A few extra odds and ends. 

I made three in one sitting. They are pretty much the same minus a few small details. I thought I would share them all with you anyway. :)

Want to know what is in each pocket? Starting at the top from left to right 1. A handmade Art Card with date, 2. Washi Tape samples, 3. tags & brads, 4. stamped card & sticky gems, 5. Sticky Notes and fun clip, 6. Tea & Smashbook card, 7. Paper goodies, 8. more paper goodies, 9. Letter and a Moo Art Card with my info on it.

All I have left to do is write a letter to the recipient and send it in the mail. I can't tell you how much I LOVE getting happy mail and I hope that these put a smile on someone's face! If you are interested in learning more about Pocket Letter Pals you can find them on Instagram #PocketLetterPals, #PocketLetter or   there is also a group on Facebook. 

Thanks so much for stopping by!
