Hi Stamping Friends,
I'll be heading off to Houston tomorrow to attend the Stampin' Up! Leadership conference, so my Wow Techniques Class that would normally have happened this week is now rescheduled for Friday, January 17th at 6:30pm. I've got some cute projects planned, so you won't want to miss it! Here's what we're making:
- M&M's Matchbook Treat—Featuring Kaleidoscope DSP and Just Sayin' Bundle.
- Calendar Easel Card—Featuring Retro Fresh DSP & Washi Tape with Peachy Keen Bundle.
- Two-Tier Eclipse Love Card—Learn a cool new technique for highlighting letters on cards, also featuring the new So Very Grateful set.
Please RSVP by Thursday, January 16th.

And The Winner Is…
I was so excited by the awesome snow storm yesterday, that I forgot to announce the winner of my Best of Love Card Kit. I selected the winner from all of the comments posted on my two Best of Love blog posts (January 2 and January 3) using random.org. And, the winner is…Cindy Gengo! Woohooo!

If you're looking for a super-quick and super-easy Valentine's treat, or just a little "thinking of you" gift, this is it! These cute little matchbooks take just a few minutes to make and they are oh so darling!
My matchbook treats are decorated with the new Kaleidoscope Designer Series Papers on a Strawberry Slush base. Open up the matchbooks and they hold fun-size M&M's candy packs.
Matchbook Instructions
- Start with a piece of 2-3/4" x 8-1/2" piece of card stock. You'll be able to get four matchbooks from a single sheet of card stock—how efficient!
- Score along the 8-1/2" edge at 3/4", 4-1/2" and 5".
- Fold the 3/4" side up and staple close to the fold line to make the matchbook closure. If you want, you can staple the fun-size M&M's inside the flap to keep it from falling out. Otherwise, you'll have to use a Glue Dot or something to hold it in place.
- Fold the cover of the matchbook and tuck inside the flap.
- Decorate!
Wouldn't these make fabulous and fun Valentine's treats for your kids to pass out at school, or even for you to pass out to co-workers and friends?! Seriously…it takes only a few minutes to decorate, too!
Background—My DSP was cut to 2-3/8" x 3-1/8" and layered onto a 2-1/2" x 3-1/4" Basic Black mat. I wrapped some 1/8" Bermuda Bay Taffeta Ribbon around that and tied it into a double-knot before adhering to the front with SNAIL.
Sentiment—The words and bubble are from the new Just Sayin' stamp set. I stamped it in Black StazOn onto Whisper White, then die-cut it with the coordinating Word Bubbles Framelits.
Bundle It & Save—Order the Just Sayin' stamp set and Word Bubble Framelits together in the Just Sayin' Bundle (wood) and save 15%!
Closure—The flap is decorated with a 2-3/4" x 1/2" piece of Kaleidoscope DSP, then accented with Rhinestone Jewels.
This version is a little more girly with the quaint polka dotted pattern from Kaleidoscope DSP and the matching Strawberry Slush Ruffle Stretch Trim.
This sentiment is all one stamp, but you have to die-cut it with two separate framelits: one for the bubble and one for the trio of smaller circles.
