Creative Letters

I am a huge fan of letters. I love giving them just as much as I love getting them. There is something so exciting about opening up your mailbox and seeing a card, postcard or letter waiting there for you. This week I came across a few "cards" that take creativity to a whole new level.

The Capsule Letters at Fred Flare are perfect for those of you who dreamed of becoming a secret agent when you grew up. Each capsule contains a scroll of paper on which you can scribble a secret message or simply tell a friend hello.

Jordan, from Oh Happy Day, shared her super creative invitations to a dinner party which are nearly identical to these capsule letters. Her cards are made with vintage glass capsules found at a flea market. These invitations definitely do a good job of setting the tone for the event. Now that is a party I would want to be invited to!

The Carve Your Own Postcard from A+R is a grown up version of carving your sweetie's initials into a tree trunk or in a picnic table. This postcard is made of soft wood that you can carve with a key. You could get really creative and carve a more intricate design with a craft drill.
