I think this was one of my very favorite pocket letters to create. I wanted to make a spring-themed letter with lots of pinks and blues and florals. I made it as a birthday present (way more fun than a card, if I do say so myself!) and I absolutely LOVE how it turned out! What do you think?
I kept the top row minimal so all the focus would be on this adorable SPRING banner.
In case you’re curious, the supplies came from –
Dollar Tree – paper clips, baker’s twine, polka dot washi, mini clothes pin, silver alpha stickers
Target – scrapbook paper, craft paper alpha stickers, gold stickers
Cocoa Daisy – floral washi, stickers
Oui Fresh – green alpha stickers, banner die-cut
and goodies from pocket letters I receive – striped page flags
And those are pretty much my mainstays for ALL my pocket letter/paper crafting supplies.
Most of those places are super affordable, especially because I keep an eye out for sales. But I also try to find ways to incorporate free elements, too! The circles above were cut out of paint chip samples and “Take Note” was stamped on a piece of cardboard packaging.
Here’s a peek at what I included in the back! If you’re stuck for ideas about goodies to include with your outgoing pocket letters, consider —
die-cuts
icon stickers
sticky notes
page flags
stickers
tea
journal cards
tags
folder tabs
sequins
washi samples
gift cards
And most importantly — don’t forget the actual letter!
I also threw in a couple of note cards, another journal card, a magnet, fun paper clip, stencil, a couple book plates, and a bookmark I made with some leftover materials.
All ready to get tucked in an envelope! Bon Voyage, my little lovely! Time to brighten someone’s day. xoxo

This is so beautiful Beth! You are very creative! I should start practicing with DIY a little bit more.
Thank you so much!
I love this idea! Have always loved stationary and getting crafty. I’ve never made these but have enough bits in my stationary box to try it out. Thanks for the inspo!
You should definitely give it a go! They are so much fun to make, especially if you’re a little addicted to stationery (like me!). ❤
I love your pocket letter! The colours are beautiful and the banner really stands out. Thanks for sharing xx
