Hey everybody! Happy Father’s Day to all the amazing dads out there! My dad was pretty amazing but has been gone since 1975, so my wishes to him are directed toward Heaven! I’ve popped in this morning to share a Splitcoast Stampers Dirty Dozen DT inspiration project. You know how much I love the Art Impressions Matchbook series, and I have a fun Santa/Christmas-themed one to share. These are so stinkin’ fun and I won’t stop until I’ve made all of them, lol!

I cut the base from Polly’s Paper Studio patterned paper using the Matchbook Template Die. I stamped all the elements from the Santa Christmas stamps in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock, colored them with alcohol markers, and cut them with the coordinating Santa Christmas dies. I always enjoy the assembly the most! ;)

Here’s a shot of the back of the matchbook and another shot showing the tiny envelope created with the Matchbook Envelope Dies and a coordinating patterned paper. So fun!
