It's Tuesday!!! Time for a New Challenge at Shopping Our Stash!!! "You Are Matchless"

Challenge #261 at Shopping Our Stash is You Are Matchless ~~ Create your own Matchbook or Matchbox any size any shape. I have made them before to fit some small chocolates, the were very simple so I wanted to do something with a little more work, since while I was trying to make them I wasn't feeling up to par, I seemed to be a tad dizzy so everything had to be right in front of me on the table, bending over the cuttlebug wasn't an option. I googled some tutorials and I used One Crafty Writer's tutorial but I used measurements from another I looked up, my base was 3 X 8.5, I might just give the smaller size a try though. I made two the same and here they are.

The patterned cardstock I bought at Walmart before I retired 15 years ago, probably before I really got into cardmaking a lot but it was on sale and I loved it, I have use this pattern a lot and it was a scrap left from a birthday card. The flower and leaves were cut from scraps with Stampin'up's Botanical Builder dies. I added 15 scraps of computer paper for the notepad, I might try 20 next time.

I made these with some challenges in mind:

Thanks for looking today and have a wonderful day!!

How about a little St. Patrick’s day Treat?

I usually make treats for the ladies at our bowling league and I was so busy at Valentine’s I missed making treats for them so decided to make some for St. Patrick’s Day. I bought a bag of Lindt candies at Winners a couple of weeks ago, they were just a small treat so made a match book holder. Since I was making 30 of them I needed it to be simple so I made my own design. Measurements will follow.

Here are 6 of them, I used my St. Patrick’s day Fluffles Stamp of course it is the only one I have.

the cardstock measures 6 1/2 X 2 inches and scored at 1/2 inch 3 1/2 and 3 3/4.  Fold up the 1/2 inch section and I used some score tape but it really didn’t stick well with the pressure of the flap so put two staples in along the bottom. There isn’t really a lot to do although it needs a sentiment and I don’t have a St. Patrick’s day one.

Here is the creamy chocolate treat I taped to the inside -
