My first matchbook!!

Ok, so I tried out making a matchbook from Dan's wonderful cut file he so selflessly shared on his blog:   http://dan99.blogspot.com/   I made mine bigger as  you can see in comparison to my mouse in picture.  It was also my first try at embossing also..man it was messy...and I used an old stamp so didn't turn out as well as I'd hoped but still pretty!  I embellished all the lil papers inside with flower stickers too!  Cute!  Have fun!!

  2. I think you did a good job! Love how colorful it is. I have a little pouch filled with powder I got from Stampin' Up that I rub on my paper before embossing. It keeps the embossing powder to stay on the stamped image only and reduces static cling. I also tap off the paper very well before heating. I bet you could use a dryer sheet or some baby powder to prevent static too.
