Remember, you do not need alot to make a PL:) Sometimes we feel like we do and we can actually manage with what we have on hand -little trinkets and pieces of news paper, novels, paper lunch bags go along way too 🤗
Hi Vanessa beautiful intro, your pocket letter is gorgeous you embellished it so lovely 🤗💜💚💖 I love it
juliet bonilla i

Thank you so very much Robyn, I appreciate the kind words 🤗 Are you currently working on Pocket Letters?
ClassyCrafting&Parcels hey yes i have made a few pocket letters im not the best at them i also find they take me forever hehe... im from Canada too!!!😊
babykiss3s25 hello fellow Canadian 🤗 I love that each PL is so unique and beautiful in their own way!! Happy crafting!! Are you working on a specific theme these days? I am thinking about my next one. 💕
ClassyCrafting&Parcels i wanna make some more just not sure what theme... maybe sometime we could swap but totally up to you
Sounds like a plan :) Let me catch up on some outgoing mail ... we can aim for a Spring trade? What do you think?
GORGEOUS!!!
Awww thank you very much Donna ✨
This is awesome!! I've never gotten into doing these, but I love watching them be made!
Question: do you do cards? I'd LOVE to see you do card videos!!!
Thank you very much 🤗 Memory Dex or ATCs?
I'm not sure what Memory Dex is, but I just mean handmade greeting cards! ;-)
Oh dear!! Hahahahaha here I was complicating things! Ahhh cards! Lol. Hummm I do make them occasionally. Do you use a Cricut or Silhouette?
ClassyCrafting&Parcels I have a silhouette that I'm scared to use lol!!! I actually mostly use die cuts or mis match. I would love to see you take something like your elements from this pocket letter and make cards with your twist! ♡
Oh.. and big time stamper!
Love this
Awesome, lovely crafting items Classy big like 139.
Thanks girl!!
Stunning love it
Hi Vanessa, OMG this pocket letter is beautiful! 💖 thank you so much for sharing! I hope one day I'll receive one as beautiful as this one. 😀
thanks lady!!! welll that is always possible :p
You think! Sure would be nice. I've never gotten anything like this before. 😍
Really enjoyed this video. Beautiful pocket letter. What I'd love though is to hear you talk more. I'd like to know what you're thinking as you put each card together. Do you have a master plan. Do you assemble your supplies ahead of time and ensure you only use those items. How do you know it's time to stop ie how do you keep from over decorating a card and thereby head into tackyland. Do you have a clear color scheme. How do you keep harmony across the cards (your final package looks nicely blended in terms of color and design). As you may have guessed by now, these are all questions I struggle with and I'd like to see how you handle them.
Thank you so much for the feedback, I am going to take note of these great questions and address them in a future PL tutorial 🤗
Very beautiful and classy 🐱💕💕💕
It's beautiful!
Thank you so much 😊
Really enjoyed your tutorial. I love your style of pocket letter...so beautiful. You are talented.💐❤️
thank you 🤗
I've just stumbled on this pocket letter thing, what is it? It's beautiful!
Hey! Absolutely beautiful.💕 It has that romantic classic vintage feel that I just love. You are so awesome at making these. Thank you for this tutorial it does help allot I just wish I had all the special charms and glitters that you do. I will try my best though!😁💖❄💕
You are going to make a beautiful PL because it will come from your heart, and that is the most important! The want to do it, will show on paper 💕🤗
Wow! Just WOW! Amazing. So beautiful! TFS
Thank you Lori 🤗 you are too kind!!
This is so beautiful! Would you make this to send to someone like you would a card maybe?
Yes!! I have even made a wedding card this way ❤️
I loved it so beautiful and relaxing ty
Thank you so much for the feedback Rebecca 💕
I never knew what “pocket letters” were until I checked out your playlist. This is such a great ideal! I’m great at gift wrapping during the holidays and occassions! This would be great for giving as holiday cards. Dang Vanessa, I just started watching your videos within the past couple of weeks! You’re awesome and so soft spoken. If you were on Twitch and you live-streamed your DIYs, I’d definitely would be subscribing to that channel!!! ^_^
irenemae thank you so much for the kind words! My daughter often makes these as Teacher cards with little personal notes on the back of each pocket 💕 We have also made one into a wedding card - it was very personal! I would love to see your creations :)
ClassyCrafting&Parcels I added you on IG and sent you a bunch of messages. Sorry... followback if you please. :)
So Beautiful! tyfs
Thank you 😊
Beautiful
Such a pretty PL!! TFS!!♡♡♡
Thank you very much 🤗
I made my first pocket letter and it is Valentines themed. It does not have the lovely character urs has! I’m going to have to do more to it:). Ur work is so amazing-just gorgeous. I was never good at art and I guess I’m still not! Oh well~practice, practice may help;). TFS😊💕. Could you show both sides of the letter some time, Plz??🙏💕
Very elegant.
Thank you Kathy 🤗
So beautiful💜🌹🙋♀️
I love the decoration but do you put goodies in each of the pockets??
Gertrude hayward great question! Yes, absolutely. Each back pocket is filled with goodies 💕🤗
Wow so beautiful Vanessa! You are so inspiring! This was also very relaxing! I find creating PL & planning relaxes me TFS! Xoxo muahzz💕😘💜❤️❣️💗
Awww thanks for watching pretty lady 🤗
I absolutely love the creative process of creating the pocket letter, but what do I do with it when finished and what do I do with any pocket letters that I might receive? Can you tell I am a newbie to this pocket lettering?
great questions Patricia! when I finish a pocket letter I mail them out to a crafty friend or I do a swap with another PL maker :) I keep all the ones I receive in a giant binder :)
So Pretty !!
Thanks girl!!
BEAUTIFUL
Thank you 😊
Just catching up on my videos! What a beautiful pocket letter Vanessa!!!! If you ever want to do an exchange let me know! Also I just love how you store your sequins and embellishments I’d love to see videos on this kind of storage! My crap is everywhere. When I saw your containers I was like ‘ I need these in my life’. Lol lol
Heeeey girlie!! Nice to see you! Thank you for the kind words and hahahaha I had to laugh because trust me girl my crap is all over the place too -all over my work table! Annnnd I am so up to doing a swap! 🤗
ClassyCrafting&Parcels yeahhh! My email is thomps111@gmail.com

TYFS, I didn't know how to do this glad you are doing this tutorial so I can learn how to create these myself,Beautiful my Friend Love all you're vidios... Wendy From:Kentucky,❤💚👍❤💚👍❤👍❤💚👍❤💚👍❤💚👍❤💚👍❤💚👍❤💚👍❤💚👍❤💚
Thank you so much Wendy for the kind words! I appreciate you very much!
Very pretty 😁
Hi what is the adhesive used to put the items outside of the pocket?
Great video and I hope that you have a very wonderful day tyfs
Hope you and your husband are doing well 🤗
How have you been?
My husband is doing good but I have disc disease on my right side with compression of the nerve and have been in a lot of pain. Thank you for asking
That is just beautiful! Now, what will you do with it? I thought Pocket Letters were for sending embellishments & such to other people. I wish I had found you a long time ago!
Can you tell me where to find the tool you use to put glitter in the pockets...
beautiful, blessings. you are truly gifted, Jesus loves you.
Thank you Janice 🤗
Hi beautiful. What is the glue used?
Love so cute Vanessa
Lovely
Thank you 😊
Gorgeous! I love how the pocket letter turned out. I will email you soon so we can do a pocket letter exchange! ❤️
Yay!! Sounds great!
Hi! I just subscribed to your Channel! I've never heard of a pocket letter before, so this is all brand new to me. What size do you cut the papers to fit into the pockets? I love your vintage style, it's mine too!
I'm looking forward to learning how to make them, your's is so beautiful!
Hi Linda!! Oh I am so glad you stumbled upon this video. What a fun craft to work on. The pockets are just measured to fit in the “card protector” pockets which I believe are 3.5” x 2.5”. I can verify the measurements for you :)
Hi! Thanks so much for the measurements!
Gorgeous! I just signed up for my first swap. Do you have any mailing tips? What size envelope do you use? (I’m also in Canada.)
Be sure you tri-fold your pocket letter and tie it up nice and tight. I always wrap mine with a doille to prevent things from falling out. Be sure to use a very strong glue if you attach times to the outer plastic sleeve, the last thing you want happening is your PL arriving and all the pieces have fallen to the bottom of the envie. I believe I use a 6x8 envelope when I am not using little boxes to send out happy mail 💕 I hope this helps :)
ClassyCrafting&Parcels Thank you! That definitely helps.
Where do you get the flowers and the jewels
Dollar Tree and Dollarama ❤️
Absolutely beautiful 🖒🌹
Thank you so much :)
😊
What is the glue the liquid one
Hi Terri, I love using TomBow Multi Liquid Glue for adhering embellishments to the Pocket Letter plastic sleeve
US amzn.to/2BTQiuz
Or if you are in Canada :)
CANADA the larger one is less expensive and a better value for your money plus free shipping amzn.to/2Ejfufr
I hope this helps answer your question. Thank you so much for watching :)
What is that tool called that you put the glitter in the pocket with? Where can I get one? Also, what kind of glue is that in the green and white container? Thank you...
Hi Pat,
If you take a look in the description I have all the links to the items such as tools and glues that I have used in my video. I even have the links for Canada and US :) I hope this helps and if you have any other questions please feel free to ask 🤗
The Glue in the green and white container is called Tombow Multi Glue... :)
Yes, I find it very helpful for many things in our craft rooms 💕
Duh on me!!! I thought I looked there! Thanks again.
Hi my name is Patty Z I have a few pocket letters I've done but how or who do I send them too. I love ur videos and thought me a lot. I suffer with seizures and probably have 1 or 4 daily. It depend. But doing the pocket letters helped me a lot. But how do I get people or how do I start sending them?
Just curious what do u do with a pocket letter?
When I receive them? :)
Where did you learn to do the pocket letters? Do u give them as gifts? Display them?
Or have a book you keep them in? I never heard of them till I saw the beautiful ones you do. It's very different. Where do you find your pockets?
Awww thank you!! 🤗 I send them out as happy mail and I keep all the ones I receive in a big binder 💕💕I purchase the pocket page protectors at our local dollar store they are made for hockey and collector cards :) Office supply stores and walmarts carry them aswell ✨
Wow so pretty, ur not only a pretty face but so talented my friend. Love it. TFS and have a great week 💕
You are too sweet Tina!! Thank you my friend 💕
Very talented, great tutorial, beautiful! I'm not a fan of gluing embellishments on the outside plastic.
You’re so creative! I have to admit, I don’t really understand the point of pocket letters, but it’s very pretty!
Amanda Goetz you are right I don’t get the point of making pocket letter too but it was pretty
They are essentially an exchange of craft supplies but with a craft creation to go along with the exchange as a way to cheer someone up 💕Happy Mail ☀️
ClassyCrafting&Parcels I am brand new to the whole concept of pocket letters. I will totally display my ignorance here! I understand the purpose is to swap or send happy mail to someone to cheer them up. You also said the purpose is to send crafting supplies to someone. Does this mean as the recipient, that you will remove certain elements you wish to use in your own work? Thank you in advance for your reply, Vanessa! Your work is certainly beautiful. 💕🌷💕
Can you please tell me what is the purpose of these pocket letters? Do you make them and send them thru the mail or do you scrapbook them? What is their purpose? They are beautiful I just don't understand what the recipient does with them and also how do you send them?
I want to learn how to send them out to people and have friends to send them to can you share that with me I love your pocket letters that are so pretty
I'm sitting in my car watching this video because I've never heard of a pocket letter. They are beautifully done each one unique in their own way ... My question is WHAT DO YOU DO NEXT? How do you seperate them and write in/on them to give people.
It's confusing to me because there are embellishments on the outside of the pockets and not the cards so ....
Can someone please explain how it all works after they are designed?
Unless I'm taking it LITERALLY thinking they are 'little letter/notes to give to people' and that's not the meaning.
Thank you for helping me understand better ☺
Great question :) You decorate each pocket to your liking and than add little goodies in the back of each pocket :) Write one little letter about yourself and it gets mailed out to a pocket letter buddy usually in exchange for one 🤗
ClassyCrafting&Parcels Oh, ok that clears it up 😊Thank you so much for responding
Made my very first Pocket Letter today. Would you like me to send it to you??
