I am back today to share a Pocket Letter! These are a hot trend in blogland now but I was surprised when I posted my first one to discover a lot of my readers have not seen them before! You can read about the origin of Pocket Letters here. They are fun to give and fun to receive! I won a Pocket Letter from Michele during the Cat Lovers Blog Hop so I decided to make one for her in return. We are both cat lovers so I went with a theme of coffee and cats. For the stamped images, I used a chalkboard technique - first time I've tried this!
I will share each pocket separately and below will list products used.

Your pocket letters are lovely Kitty. I'm sure you had fun doing them. The chalkboard ones look really great and the coffee napkin background is really busy and fun. I followed your link as I'd not heard about pocket letters before. I used to do lots of ATCs a few years ago but only do one monthly swap now. Barbxx

Fabulous pocket cards, Kitty, you gals are awesome to pick up the slack and put us over the top with multiple projects at the last! Again, Happy Holidays!
What a treasure! The receiver will surely be delighted.
I'm very impressed by how you achieved the chalkboard effect, have tried it once of twice but without success, yours look fantastic!
Sorry I haven't been around much lately, I've been busy with birthdays, Christmas events and preparations. But I'll try and catch up as much as possible in the coming days. On my way to a hairdressers appointment and then another birthday party:)

This is AWESOME. I've seen them around but have never made one...thanks for the inspiration!
This pocket letter is so fantastic, I love the idea in sharing some of the candy in each pocket, great gift for another scrapper sharing the many supplies you get and may only use on a couple cards. I'm coming back to read the history, but have to get on with my comments.
Wow! Absolutely adorable! all the pieces are lovely. Thanks for sharing with us at Inspiration Destination this week. Good luck!!! Patricia.
These are super cute Kitty, very inspiring. Have a wonderful weekend sweetie!

Oh my goodness, what fun!!! I have never heard of a pocket card, so I will definitely take a look at your link. I love all your cute kitties, and I also love the chalk board look.
