Description:

I took this idea from @Mindy82671 s public USA only swap -- she kindly gave permission for people to create it as an international swap.

Mindy's swap

What to do with all of those beautiful Christmas cards you received......why, make a pocket letter, of course! Decorate 9 ATCs (standard size 2.5x3.5 and sturdy) with pictures, quotes, words, etc, cut out from the Christmas cards you received. This is a great way to recycle and show just how creative you can be! Place the completed 9 ATCs into a 9 Pocket Trading Card Sleeve. You do NOT need to decorate the back sides and you do NOT need to tuck in goodies. It should be flat enough to send in a business sized envelope.

You should include a letter in one of the pockets. Make it a proper letter -- not just a brief note.

Each pocket's card must have at least one element taken from a Christmas card, but it's fine to add other things -- paint, stickers, embellishments, and the like.

Try to make this a really beautiful pocket letter -- one that your partner might like to get out and hang up next year!

Sorry about the missing apostrophe in the description -- the system won't put it in for me, despite several attempts! I think it's because it comes after a swapper's name.

Do we need to include a letter in one of the backs of the pockets?

Are all the ATCs to be made using only Christmas cards? Can we use other things like Christmas stickers, washi tape, paint & etc?

We're not supposed to tuck in any goodies?

No goodies on this one

Sorry Snuggles and Shellyc -- I did leave a comment in reply to each of yours several days ago but they seem to have vanished! But I've also changed the swap description.

Yes, we do need to include a letter in one of the pockets -- I'm sorry I missed adding that to the swap description originally.

And as long as each ATC has an element from a Christmas card, you can use any other things you want -- .paint, stickers, embellishments, mince pies -- well, maybe not mince pies!
