Alice In Wonderland Pocket Letter

Hello friends!  I am also on the Jaded Blossom blog today and have a Pocket Letter to share with you featuring the Jaded Blossom Wonderland Bundle stamps. I made it for a "Storybook/Fairytale" themed swap. 

Here is a video for a closer look and more details of all the JB goodies I used.

I used Disney cuts from my Cricut for many of the images.

I loved coloring up this sweet Alice with my Copics. 

I also used cuts from SVG Cutting Files from a blog hop I participated in.

It was fun making my own background paper for this Mad Hatter pocket. 

Here is what the stamp sets look like:

Christmas Pocket Letter

Hello friends! I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and winter holiday! Today I am sharing a Christmas Pocket Letter I made for a swap.

This was a super fun PL to make! I used a huge variety of things!

I used an older Pink Paislee Snow Village stack for the background paper. The tag is from Jaded Blossom. The Santa suit is from My Creative Time. The sentiment on the tag is from Lawn Fawn's Tiny Tag Sayings stamps.

I love how the sparkly red card stock looks on the Santa suit. Lately, I usually start out with a shaker in the middle. 

The pup is from Cricut's Paper Pups cartridge. I added a Santa Hat using the same sparkly glitter red cardstock. The cardinal is a sticker from Michael's and I added the branch and banner from My Creative Time Teeny Tags die. The sentiment is also from the Lawn Fawn Tiny Tag sayings. The mittens are cuts from Holiday Cakes and Jolly Holidays cartridges. I added doodling, sparkle and buttons for a finishing touch. If I remember correctly the banner is from Jaded Blossom Mini Tag Dies 

.

I used Jaded Blossom's Snowman Dies, Border Dies and Bow Dies. The little owls are a Kristi W. image that I stamped and colored. I added a little bow that I cut from my Cricut and little branches from my Martha Stewart punch.

The bunny on top and the envelope are Lawn Fawn stamps. I really took advantage of the pretty paper and it made it easy for me to embellish!

Here is the backside all stuffed with lots of goodies!

Thanks so much for hoppin by! I hope you have a wonderful day!

Winter/Christmas Themed Pocket Letter

Hi Everyone! Today I am on the Jaded Blossom Blog as Guest Designer and I have a Pocket Letter Project to share! 

If you are new to Pocket Letters, they are a fun way to do swaps and send fun goodies by snail mail to your crafty friends. For this swap the theme was Winter/Christmas. I used a bunch of adorable JB stamps and dies!

Here are some close ups:

 I chose blues, silvers, and purples to go with the winter theme. 

 I made the center pocket a window shaker.

I love the critter stamp images and how they fit perfectly inside each pocket. The curtain is from the Cricut Kate's Kitchen and the window is from Creative Cards. I made the rod by using the stirring stick die from the Coffee Dies. The mini bows are from the Bow Dies. 

Here is a list with the links of all the supplies I used to put this PL together:

Pink & Black Pocket Letter

Hi friends! Sorry I have been away for so long. My family lost someone so dear to us and it has been a rough few weeks. I needed a distraction so I am popping in to share this pocket letter I made for a new friend that I met at the Pocket Letter Pals Valley Girl Meet Up last month. She likes pink, black, bling, butterflies, coffee, and her spotted pit bull mix pup. So I used all that info to put this together.

For the tag I used the Indie Art cartridge for the butterfly and made the wings pop up. The top row I used a card with the roses cut from the Artfully Sent cartridge. I stamped it with a sentiment from the CDD Blooming For You stamps. I got the purses from Paisley and the Formal Occasions cartridges. I added some bling and used the CDD Pocket Pieces Hi Dies for most of the stitched rectangles in my PL. The hello with the butterfly is from the Lyrical Letters cartridge. I used glitter cardstock for the pink and the white and added mini pearls to the butterfly. 

The center row I used the Artfully Sent cartridge for the beautiful cutout. The butterfly and sequins are from Craftin Desert Divas. The center pocket is sooooo sparkly I wish it showed up better in the photos. I used all glitter cardstock from DCWV and the Monogram is from the Art Philosophy cartridge. The sparkle cutout is from the Disney Tinkerbell & Friends cartridge.

The bottom row is my favorite. I used this cute pup from the Animal Kingdom cartridge and colored him with my Spectrum Noir markers to look like her pup. I added brown pearls for his eyes and stamped the sentiment & paw using the CDD Animal Antics stamps. I made the center shaker with the cut from the Wild Card cartridge. The letter inside the shaker is from the Sweethearts cartridge.  And finally the pup with the thought cloud and bone I also colored with my Spectrum Noirs, I made using a die set from My Creative Time.

For the back I made a bunny card to tuck my letter into with the Sugar and Spice cartridge.  I filled the pockets with paperclips I made with the Love You A Latte cartridge, some prima flowers, die cuts from Craftin Desert Divas, twine and some stickers.

Here is a close up of the sparkly clips I made.

Here are the Craftin Desert Divas products I used:

She was so sweet and pretty! I had the best time, met some talented crafty ladies and got so many goodies!!

Most of the cards were cut using the new stitched rectangle from the Pocket Pieces Hi Dies. I also used my Cricut for some of the die cuts, The mini tag hanging on the side is from the Cricut Creative Everyday cards cartridge.

The little bee is from the Pooh and Friends Cartridge, the honey pot is from the Just Because cartridge, the center bee is from Paisley & the bee holding the gift bag is from Birthday Bash. I glittered up all the wings with either wink of stella or stickles.

These bees are stamped, embossed and colored with my Spectrum Noir markers. I used the Just Bug-Cause and Lil' bit Buggie stamps. The Hi is from the Pocket Pieces Hi Die. The honey is from my Martha Steward Drippy Goo punch. I used my Cuttlebug to emboss the honeycomb pattern. The Bee Happy is from the Just Because cartridge.

The bee background paper was made using the sweet little bee from the Sending Love stamps. I doodled the little trail. The speech bubble is from the Mix It Up Dies and the sentiments are from the Just Bug-Cause and Lil Bit Buggie stamps. The shaker was made with the Silver & Gold sequins.
