Fun with Doodlebug – Cute & Crafty Pocket Letter!

Hi everyone! Is it just me, or did this week go by in like five minutes?? Whew! The good news is, it's almost Friday! I'm up on the Doodlebug Blog today with a super fun project! Have you ever made a Pocket Letter? It's one of my favorite projects to make and send – especially to my crafty pals! And, it's a great way to use lots of pretty elements from a paper collection! Today I used the awesome stuff from the Doodlebug Cute and Crafty Collection to make a happy, colorful Pocket Letter! There are a million different ways to decorate and embellish a Pocket Letter. The main thing is to just have fun with it! Here's another one I made a while ago!

To make a pocket letter, you start with a clear Trading Card plastic protector page and then start creating! The finished letter folds into thirds and fits into a business sized envelope (4" x 9") for mailing. Sure to make the recipient smile! Here's my pocket letter for today! 

 

Each little rectangle is approximately 2.5" x 3.5" like a trading card. Each pocket is a tiny space to create! I love to use sequins in some of mine to make is sparkly. I used a Fuse Tool to seal the top of the plastic once the sequins are inside. I am obsessed with the Doodlebug Rainbow Sequins in those tiny jars. I used the Cute and Crafty 6×6 Paper Pad and the 12×12 Paper Pad for the various pockets. I also used stickers, the Chit Chat elements and the Odds & Ends elements. No limit to what you can create! All the supplies are in the list at the bottom of this post!

 

Craftiness is Happiness!! See those pretty sequins? So fabulous! 

 

For this pocket, I used pretty pink polka dot paper and added white and silver sequins. Then I tossed in a cute pie stamp! The top is fused shut using my Fuse Tool, so they won't shake out!

 

Eat sleep craft repeat! 🙂

 

Some of my supplies for this project! 

 

I buy my Trading Card Pages from Container Store, but you can find them most anywhere! If you're not familiar, the Fust Tool is a long skinny tool with a wheel at the top. The wheel gets very hot and you run it along the plastic and it melts the plastic together to seal up crafty things!

 

A little "extra" embellishment on the top to keep it closed once I fold it up! For these top two pockets I used the same pencil paper and made it go across two pockets as the background for the large word pieces!

 

Here's my bright yellow envelope. I found this one in my stash. So I decorated that too of course!

 

Happy Crafting! As my last step, I added hearts and enamel dots all over the place to make it even more cheerful and colorful. I think we should put Doodlebug Hearts on everything!! 

 

 

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope I made you smile! How has your week been going? I hope you are well and happy! Take care, and I'll see you soon! XO
