Valentine Matchbook

Wow, it's been so long!  Finally got my 'sea legs' back from vacation and I think all of the rum is out of my system....oh what FUN we had!

I made this sweet little Matchbook Candy Holder (sans candy....can't buy it this early as I can not be trusted, if you know what I mean?) for the Challenge at Papertrey Ink, Matchbook Valentines.  I will also enter it into the Challenges at Mod Squad, Love Is In The Air, Great Impressions, Lovey Dovey, Scrapy Land , Love Is In The Air.

The little clothes pin is just holding it closed until I add my candy and staple it down.  I used the Papetrey Ink products, Swoosh (stamp & die) and Love & Marriage.  The Vellum Heart Strings is by Penny Black.

Using White Embossing Powder I stamped the heart and then fussy cut it out, and popped it up using dimensional foam.  Designer Papers by My Mind's Eye, Kiss & Tell.

 

I think I will make  several more of these for my Mom's friends aka My Crazy Aunties....they love that.....and chocolate.....and me!  <3
