1/20/24 Rising Star at A Place To Start!
Hey everybody! Can you believe we’re into the middle of January already?! Dang, where is the time going?! You know how much I love the Art Impressions Matchbook line, and I’ve been playing with the Office Matchbook stamps and dies and created this adorable little scene to enter in the Art Impressions current Clean Slate: #366 – Anything Goes challenge! I’m so excited to be sharing another one of these amazing little masterpieces!

Using the Art Impressions Matchbook Template die, I cut the base from a Polly’s Paper Studio double-sided paper. I’ve created quite a few Matchbooks and I’ve used Polly’s Paper Studios papers for all but one. I don’t know why, but I always reach for her papers for the bases. I stamped all the elements in the Art Impressions Office Matchbook stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and cut them with the coordinating Art Impressions Office Matchbook dies. I colored them with alcohol markers and then assembled the Matchbook. So stinkin’ cute!

Here are several more angled shots and one with the teeny tiny envelope. ;)
