This is the second in what will hopefully be a regular series of themed mini pocket letter swaps! I'm aiming to have one swap per month in this series, so keep an eye out. :) You will have one partner. Create one mini pocket letter in the appropriate theme. This month's theme - things with wings. Each of the three cards in your pocket letter must have a thing with wings on it - think birds, bees, butterflies, faeries, etc. You can even stick wings on things that DON'T have them by default - winged clocks, winged puppies, whatever you'd like. Beyond that, create whatever your muse desires! Please don't just stick an image on a blank card and call it good - put love into your work and send your partner something you're proud of. A mini pocket letter is a horizontal strip of three pockets, cut down from a nine-pocket plastic card protector binder sheet. There are oodles of tutorials on YouTube and such - inspiration is always a good thing! Each pocket must have a decorated card in the appropriate theme. The back of the pockets should be filled as well. One pocket should contain a note to your partner, and the remaining two pockets should be filled with goodies for your partner. There are tons of things you could include: stickers, flat embellishments, stamped images, washi tape samples on a playing card, individually sealed tea bags, punchies, die cuts, and so on. The additional goodies do NOT have to be on-theme. (Alternatively, you can make one pocket a shaker pocket if so desired - that just means you'll have to squash your letter into one of the two pockets with the goodies.) You can decorate the outer plastic of the pocket letter (with stickers, washi tape, tying pretty fibers to the holes on the left side, etc) but it is not necessary. This should be mailed flat in a business-size envelope. Upcoming themes:
