Description:
Rather than Pocket Letters based on subject, I decided to host some based on techniques. The first will be stamping. 1 Pocket Letter to 1 partner Use stamping (rubber, acrylic, handcarved erasers, etc) on at least 5 of pockets. Pockets should be fully-decorated; meaning the decor isn't meant to be removed. No pockets should have just an un-embellished piece of paper in them -- or be completely empty -- after your partner takes out the goodies. Papers with stamped images are embellished, thus acceptable. :) Include 10 stamped images at goodies. No more than 2 of the same stamp. Decision to send further goodies is sender's choice. Short note or long letter in one pocket. Open to all in the group in good standing. Please also suggest techniques for upcoming swaps!

Not quite sure I understand...l we are to stamp the actual pocket as to when goodies are removed, pocket is still stamped? Sounds like a challenge.....

We will use stamps in the decoration we put in the pocket. People usually put decorated paper in the pockets; so stamps will be one of the things we use to decorate the paper. Does that make more sense?

I love the idea of this swap, hence I asked to join the group! I just want to make sure I understand the guidelines here... I think of pocket letters in terms of:

front of pockets - back of pockets - stuff if anything placed into the back of pockets (remove able)

thinking of it this way can you please clarify for me? thank you so much!

Ok...stamped items it is! I think I get it! Funny thing is, I have actually stamped the outside of the pocket... sounds fun!

@Hag53 - Inside the pockets, visible from the front, is where you put your decorations (front of pockets). None of those should be empty or just plain paper. At least 5 of those need to be stamped in some way.

For goodies, the 10 stamped images are required; anything else is gravy. ;) You put the goodies into the pocket, behind the decoration (back of pockets). A short note goes into the back of a pocket too.

Please let me know if this all makes sense!! :)

I totally get it! thank you so much for breaking it down for me. I've already started gathering stamps for this. I'm trying to hold out for my partner so I can include something they might prefer. this is a fantastic idea!
