Real mail, made by hand

There's something different about getting a handmade card in the mail, especially when you open it to find handmade pockets and tuck spots filled with notes, treats, and special memories. Not a text. Not an e-card. An actual card that someone made with their hands and sent to you on purpose.

Every month, Paper & Pockets gives you everything you need to make one of those cards and send it to someone who matters. Specialty papers, card blanks, pockets, and envelopes all arrive together. You pull up the video tutorial, follow along, and end up with something beautiful and uniquely yours. Then choose whether to send it or keep it. Many of our customers use it for their personal journals, or send it to a friend.

You don't have to be crafty. You just have to want to make someone's day.

What's included

Every Paper & Pockets Mail Club box contains:

  • Specialty papers
  • A blank card with coordinated envelope
  • Supplies for an art project and a greeting for the front
  • Embellished pockets, tags, and tuck spots on the inside to complete and add to
  • Envelope, ready to mail — we pay to ship the kit to you; you add postage to send your finished card to your recipient
  • Printed instructions plus the QR code for the video tutorial
  • Everything needed to mail a smile
  • Also includes a letter from the artist.

Little cards. Big reactions.

Making the card only took twenty minutes, but the look on my friend's face when it showed up in her mailbox made it worth so much more.

My mom called me crying when she opened it. She couldn't believe I made it myself — honestly, neither could I.

I'm not crafty at all, but the video made it so easy. Now my grandmother gets a handmade card from me every single month.
