Description:

This swap is for Pocket letter newbies, who want a chance to try out this new penpal craze, in a safe, judgment free swap. No stress, no worries. For this swap there is no wrong way of doing a Pocket Letter.

You will have one partner. Basically, you fill up a 9 pocket trading card sleeve with 2.5 X 3.5 scrapbook paper, And, inside the pockets you tuck in little goodies. They might be washi tape samples , ribbon, stickers, buttons, embellishments, tea bag, sequins, etc, The first pocket holds a nice letter from you, about a 1/2 page

This pocket letter has a Summer theme, what ever summer means to you. Get creative! you can do it!!
You do not have to decorate the back of the pocket, only the front.

Make sure the swap name and your Swapbot name is on there somewhere.

Remember: this swap is for people who are new at pocket letters, so if your picky, this may not be the swap for you

Try to keep things relatively flat, when you fold this letter into thirds, you can mail it in a long envelope. Open to swappers with at least a rating of 4.97, and has at least 5 type 3 swaps. I will be checking profiles carefully. If you have recent or unexplained 1's or 3's please Pm me.

Send your swap on time, and don't forget to rate your partner. Think of your rating as a thank you note, its very nice to thank the person who took time to create something for you. Rate a 5 if it was sent on time ,even if you didn't like it. If you don't receive your swap please let me and your partner know before rating a 1 or 3.

I have had interest in a series of pocket letter newbie swaps , so Im setting up a monthly swap for at least through September: Here are the themes * July - Red, White and Blue
* August- Make it Sparkle
* September- Fall Leaves/ Colors
So join one or join all, If anyone has ideas for future pocket letters or themes, I'm open to suggestions. There is lots of Youtube videos and Pintrest boards out there if you need ideas.

This is a US swap only, but if anyone is interested in hosting an international one, please PM me.

Though Im not new to Swapbot, I am new to hosting, if there is any veteran hostesses who have ideas of how I can make this swap better, please send me a PM, I can use all the help I can get. Thanks for taking the time to look at my swap, I hope you join in

I've been looking to start swapping and I love the idea of this swap, and it says newbies, which I am. However it says "swappers with at least a rating of 4.97, and has at least 5 type 3 swaps", and I myself haven't swapped before. I however have been crafting longer then I can remember. I already have many ideas for this swap, so please consider accepting me.

@jakeandnicksmom Thank you for the message but for some reason I can't reply. But yes I'd love to swap with you.

Just a reminder you need to have 5, type 3 swaps concluded, I will ban anyone who does not meet these qualifications. Thanks and we make top swaps again! Wooo Hooo

Curious how decorated these are supposed to be...? Is just paper in the pockets acceptable? Or some decoration beyond the paper? I ask because I decorate mine A LOT. :)

maybe the october theme could be black & orange. that way it isn't strictly "halloween" just a thought

jakeandnicksmom 06/11/2015 #

@user2637 the pockets should be decorated, I like to decorate mine alot also, and remember to tuck little goodies inside the pockets. Btw, backs are optional

@bettina763 The October one is fall theme, it does not have to be halloween, I will host a Halloween only one as well
