Mother's Day Mason Jar Pocket Letter....

Hi there!!!
 Someone has put this month on fast forward because I cannot keep up!  If I figure out how to nail down time, I'll drop the hint here, but until then, take a deep breath and ride out this post with me...
Happy it's almost Mother's Day here in the U.S., next month, but like I said with the whole time spinning past me in a hurricane blur, it's better I get stuff done now.
This time around at The Cutting Cafe, we are showcasing the new and fabulous Clear Cardstock that Regina has here in her store.   The possibilities of  this product are truly endless, but I decided that I would make my first ever pocket letter.   I had a little (tons) of inspiration from a fellow DT and wonderful friend. See it here.

Here's the 'decorated side' and top section
The middle section....
The bottom section.
The great part about these decorations is that each image is its own shaker.  The recipient can remove them and place them in a baby book or a journal page or they can keep them right here in the protector, but I think it's just too much fun to have all the options.
All these shakers were made with the clear cardstock.
Now as per tradition, the objective with pocket letters is not only to have a theme, but to also come bearing gifts.  So, here are some of my gifts that I've included that are pre-made, handmade, bought, old, new, sparkly, pretty, and hopefully useful too.
All of this came to be just from making the very first mason jar ornament with clear cardstock from the Cutting Cafe Shop.  

All files used from The Cutting Cafe are as follows:
Cutting Cafe Crafting Supplies Store-
Clear Cardstock - Used to make shaker cards inside Mason Jars.
Cutting Cafe Cut File Store-
XOXO Word Shaped Card - Sign for the gift side
Mom Shaped Card Tops - Decoration for the gift side
Huge Cupcake - Decoration on the gift side
Sewing Machine Set - Spools used to hold Washi tape and Baker's Twine
Butterfly Treat Box Template - Used to layer for Decoration and Gift Side
Layered Stitched Hearts - Used hearts for shaker elements.
Garden Stand ups - Used tree and fence to decorate a silhouette image
Dress Shaped Card 2 - Used on Shaker card side

Big hugs and thank you so much for your visit.

Tracy said...

Yet another trend I haven't found time for. Your bits and pieces have created the cutest pockets. Love that they're all shakers. Those are so much fun. Wonderful project Twang! Hugs!

Pia S said...

Wow. So many different looks made with jars and silhouettes, each beautiful in their own way but matching the rest of the pocket contents. Haven't had a go at this yet. But what a wonderful gift to receive in the mailbox!

Sandy said...

Forgive me for being a little late but I got side tracked. When I first opened your post I had to immediately go to Regina's and see what this clear card stock was all about. You know me - of course I had to buy. Then I had to go to the next place you sent me to see the pocket letter and then I completely got lost exploring that theme. Now I am back to tell you how much I love your pocket letter. Now I want to do one - what a great idea for Christmas and of course there is always Halloween!
Thanks Lisa, you certainly have inspired me!!

There's a fabulous retro look to your first ever pocket page... Every tiny detail is perfection! Loving the sound of the clear cardstock (saw it over at Lisa S's too) - thinking I may have to explore that one...

wow! this project is amazing! hope time slows for you, but doesn't slow for you like it did me. i've been in a boot (torn ligament that won't heal!!) since the end of March. now i'm pretty much chair/couch/bed bound for 2 more weeks with hopes it will heal with no weight bearing.

Margaret said...

These are amazing!! I have been trying to resist jumping on board with the pocket letters, but they are just so darn adorable and look like so much fun!! Of course, at this point, I probably wouldn't get any of these made either... I'm stuck in the hurricane too!

Great post. Articles that have meaningful and insightful comments are more enjoyable, at least to me. It’s interesting to read what other people thought and how it relates to them or their clients, as their perspective could possibly help you in the future.

There's always something great to watch with Netflix or Amazon Prime Video. Choose from popular movies and full seasons of hit TV shows. Enjoy a wide variety of choices, including Action & Adventure, Comedy, Kids & Family, Documentaries, and more. Plus, there are never any commercials.

While seeing generally, if you are looking for more content and entertainment, you can go for Hotstar. If you are always exploring something new to watch, you can go for Netflix. If you want to have the common ground between this two, you can opt for amazon prime.

I really enjoyed reading about the creative Mother's Day gift idea. However, it's important to remember that fungal infections can also affect skin and nails, and can be a common problem for many people. It's always a good idea to keep an eye on any changes or symptoms and seek medical advice if needed. Thankfully, online healthcare services like meri sehat.pk provide easy access to experienced doctors who can help diagnose and treat various conditions, including fungal infections. It's important to prioritize our health and well-being, and services like this make it convenient to do so.
