Hey everybody! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again… Christmas is just around the corner! Have you started on your Christmas cards and projects yet?! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Merry Little Christmas Challenge Blog and I’m excited to share my DT inspiration project for MLCCB #53 – Anything Christmas Goes! I’ve been playing with Matchbooks again – you know those tiny little Art Impressions works of art that I can’t seem to get enough of?! This Nativity Matchbook set is super adorable and I so love how this project turned out!

Using the Art Impressions Matchbook Template dies, I cut the base from P13 Always and Forever double-sided paper. It had butterflies on the reverse side of the woodgrain print which I didn’t want to show, so I adhered panels of woodgrain on the reverse side as well. I stamped the images in the Art Impressions Nativity Matchbook stamp set on Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock in Memento Tuxedo Black ink, colored them with alcohol markers, and cut them with the coordinating Art Impressions Nativity Matchbook die set. The fun part of these is always the assembly! ;) Finally, I cut the teeny envelope from a gray-brown paper in the Urban Style Design Pad using the Art Impressions Matchbook Envelopes Dies.
