More Matchboxes

 

Tonight I did more playing with the new Matchbox Bigz die (available for order April 1 from the new Occasions Mini Catalog!).  For both of these boxes I used a piece of solid card stock for the base/bottom/drawer and something a bit nicer for the cover/sleeve.   This helps to save on some of the more expensive designer papers, acetate, etc.

 

EASTER BOX SUPPLIES:

• Darling Dots Designer Series Paper (SAB)
• Bashful Blue card stock
• Acetate
• Curly Label punch
• Word Window punch
• So Saffron grosgrain ribbon (SAB)
• Linen thread
• Basic Gray classic ink
• A Good Egg stamp set
• Matchbox Bigz die

  FRIENDS MATCHBOX SUPPLIES:

Medium Weight Acetate

Pink Pirouette card stock

Baroque Motifs stamp set

A Good Friend stamp set

Whisper White Stazon Ink

Pink Pirouette classic ink

Basic Grey classic ink

Pretty in Pink Taffeta ribbon

Matchbox Bigz die

Stamp-A-Ma-Jig

Mini Glue Dots

Candy Lane Designer Series Paper

By they way, even though each of these boxes contain candy, I guess you can put other goodies in them, but why?
