MAKE IT MONDAY #237: MATCHBOOK VALENTINES

Hello, Crafty Friends!

I am happy to be getting back into my craft room and playing along with this week's MIM.  I actually participated in last week's Create Along with Us but didn't get my project posted.  I am adding it right after this matchbook valentine:)

Laurie's video on Papertrey's blog challenged us to create a valentine project.  The technique she demonstrates can be used for many other occasions as well.  You can check out her video on how to create a matchbook valentine here.

Matchbook Valentine
(all products are Papertrey Ink unless otherwise noted)

Paper:  Vintage Jadeite and Stamper's Select White
Stamps:  Be Mine, Valentine
Dies:  Be Mine Valentine, Double Ended Banners, and Stitched Circles (Simon Says Stamp)
Ink:  Vintage Jadeite, Harvest Gold, Berry Sorbet, and True Black

I used the set called Be Mine, Valentine that was released last month.  I have been having fun making treat boxes for my sister's classroom using this set as well.  I will post those, too, when I finish them!  She teaches special education and her students love getting homemade goodies;)

As I stated earlier, I made a project from one of the MANY ideas the Papertrey Ink design team displayed during the January 2015 release.  I was inspired by a sweet drawstring bag Laurie made from the new coin purse die.  Here is the project she created.

I used a drawstring bag and paper from Papertrey Ink.  The apple was cut on my Cricut using the Home Accents cartridge.  I have always been found of the Stitched Seasonal dies from PTI, but haven't purchased the apple yet;)

Anyway, there you have it!  Two projects for two Mondays;)

Enjoy your time crafting!
