How to make a Bi-Fold Pocket Letter. I think these little Pocket Letters are nice for writing a new penpal. In these , there is plenty of room to include items about yourself in a creative, and fun way. I used a 12 X 12 inch piece of kraft paper and cut it to an A 5 size. This allows some scraps to make labels as you see "goodies" and "letters". I made the little "Hello" banner just using my circle punch and letter stamps and sandwitched them between a piece of twine. I made the large envelope on the left with a piece of scrap of paper, and the brown polkadot envelope was purchased. I think the rest is self-explanatory. Use whatever embellishments you have that are handy. I have a few more of these that I will be posting soon. Leave me a comment if you have made any of these, or other suggestions as to make first time letters to pen pals special. Happy Crafty Snail Mailing!

Hi, I saw a video tutorial on Nik the Booksmith you tube channel about a specimen pouch folio thingie and I loved the design so much, I made one myself. You can find Nik's video here. I call it a snail mail envelope. I used the inside cardboard of a wrapping paper roll for the cover of my envelope. The inside has four pockets/tuck spots to put in all kinds of ephemera, little notes stickers and other goodies. I love how this envelope turned out. Thanks for stopping by my blog. Hugs, Henriëtte.

Snail Mail or Happy Mail can take many forms, as long as when it arrives with the lucky recipient it makes them happy, your mission has been accomplished! The most popular form of Happy Mail is done by creating a base from paper or cardstock that folds up into a neat little package, which is then decorated and filled with crafty wares through the use of envelopes and pockets, and then sent in the post to the recipient. There is no right or wrong way to decorate Happy Mail, so you can be as inventive as you like! Here's how we made ours...
2019 Topic 3 : Mail Art Keren here, introducing our next topic: Mail Art. When did you last receive an awesomely decorated envelope? Have you ever? With life becoming increasingly digital and online, letter writing has declined and mail art probably even more so. I was not expecting to be blown away and inspired by this topic, but the artistry on these little pieces of mail, are incredible. No matter what your style, there's hopefully something to get you purchasing stamps (of the postage kind!) and sending a little tangible joy via the postman (or woman!). Anna-Karin Anna-Karin kicks us off with a terrific trio of mixed media style envelopes, showing how to combine paint, gesso, stamps and dies. Whilst the extra fragments wouldn't be allowed in the post in the UK, I sure would love to receive one of these! What's really fascinating about the different styles of envelope art is where their focus is. For many it's the background, and the address is the add-on. Mark Powell Or just a beautifully illustrated colourful example such as this. I can see some PaperArtsy stamps being used just like this. Hermine Koster Some artists start to play around with the other elements necessary for mail sent through the postal system The Postman's Knock You can also see some clever designs incorporating the postage stamps too. Hiroko-Yoshimoto I adore the hand painted images on this beautiful example The Postman's Knock Clever composition makes this design so delightful; just thinking about how to incorporate the address lifts this mail art to something spectacular Naomi Loves There are so many choices to make; particularly about the type of paper or substrate. How about something simply clear... Lost Art Revived Or how about these mini marvels using story book pages? Wonderful DIY If we're changing up from paper- how about fabric? You might have to remove buttons and sew it closed to send it? But what a unique way to envelop your greeting! Radiant Home Studio ... or even sewing onto the envelope as part of the design? Viv If a recipient is worth the love..how about sending them a postal trilogy! Ahmet Demir Whether being artistic is your thing, Deborah Russell Or you just need a good excuse to practice your calligraphy! Oliveleafcalli There's hopefully something here that's got you ready to rush and decorate your envelopes. The other thing to mention, before I wrap up, is not to neglect the reverse!! Botanical Art I really hope that you've loved this look at the mini and marvellous and you want to create alongside the other designers on the PaperArtsy blog. There are some further ideas on this Pinterest page. You're going to love the projects we have coming up. We are not doing the linked challenge for 2019, so if you want to create along with us and this topic, please share on our social feeds so we can see what you get up to.

When I was in high school I started playing a little game called Mail Tag. I was inspired by a great little Canadian TV show called Our Hero - Kale and her friend Gordon would send postcards to each other and request something of each other - usually it was pretty abstract. I played Mail Tag
