Matchbook Photo Holder

Hello Everyone,
So everything I have shown you how to make has been pretty easy so far, hasn't it? Well, this one is the simpliest of them all...but it makes an awesome holder to keep some cheerished photos in which can then be adhered into your Flat Pack Time Capsule.

You will need a piece of cut patterned paper to the size of 12inches by 3 1/2inches. This piece needs to be scored aong the 12 inch side at 1inch, 6 1/4, 6 3/4, 7 1/4 inch. You then fold up the 1 inch and also fold along the center score line which will be 6 3/4. 


Once you have folded on those score lines, you put a staple or two at the  very bottom where the one inch has been folded up. This acts as a flap to hold the front down.  I gathered up some 3 x 4 sized clear plastic bags and placed a photo in each of them. I used five for each grandchild. Because I still had my sewing machine at the ready I sewn the very top together just above the front fold flap and this secured the plastic bags, holding the photos, to the inside of the matchbook.

A great way to store some photo memories


The video below shows the very simple process of making the Matchbook Photo holder

Once you have your Matchbook photo Holder made, it's time to decorate it to your liking. Just remember it needs to be relatively flat, so no big bulky embellishments.

These are a few pictures of my decorated Matchbook Photo Holders.



 I used some washi tape, a photo and some sticker sentiments on them. All very different !

I hope you found this project as easy as I said it would be and I look forward to seeing your decorated matchbook photo holders in group!

FLOW-ISH JOURNALS are addictive!!

Recently I joined a swap at our Australian Art Swap Group on facebook where we had to put together a flow-ish Journal. I absolutely love putting these together as it gives me a chance to use up a lot of papers and items I have been hoarding. A flow-ish journal is based on the Flow magazines and books with the intent that everything inside can be pulled out and used by another person in their own art works or projects. Below are a few pictures and videos of me showing you through the ones I have put together. Once I start one, I seem to want to keep making them. Todate, I think I have put together at leadt five of these types of journals and sent them to friends and swap partners. This Flow-ish journal is the one I made for the swap. The cover was a real estate guide booklet and I decided to decorate it, to make it look a little prettier. It is full of patterned papers, die cuts, tissue paper, handmade envelopes and pockets filled with odds and ends, that I thought the recipient w...

 ATC HOLDERS This is a very fast and easy project. I used my the leftover image pieces from the Sweeping Plains Papers to decorate a few Artist Trading Card Holders. Each made holder can store eight ATC's.The base of the holder is made from cardstock I had in my own supplies and the pockets that hold the ATCs, I made from a manilla folder. The Base Cut your cardstock to 11" x 3". Then score at 2 1/2", 3 1/4", 7" and 7 3/4"/ Fold on score lines. The Pockets Cut your manilla folder to 6" x 4". You will need to cut and make eight pockets. Score with long side up at 2 3/4" and 5 1/2". Then turn once with short side up and score at 1/2". Fold along score lines. Cut the small square off the bottom corner and then cut from 2 3/4 score line to edge, taking off  the long 1/2" panel. Use your double sided Ranger LetterIT tape and place on the botton flap and the side flap. Fold over score lines to make your pocket. I used a 1" ...

Hello Everyone, Today I was still in the mood to play with the wonderful paper from Photo Play and wanted to do a project that was fun, easy and quick. I searched Pinterest for a free downloadable  heart box  template and was quite surprised to find one straight off the bat. What you will need for this cute heart treat box: *a free printable from pinterest *a cropodile *Blazing Red Stazon ink *Photo Play Crazy for you paper *Elements sticker sheet called Wild Love *double sided tape *some thread or twine for decoration *small brads to attach handles *small piece of cheese cloth or fabric  Then I used the template to cut the shape from The Photo Play 'Crazy for you' paper and folded the paper on the marked fold lines and that gave the shape of the heart box. I inked the edges of the heart box shape with the Stazon Blazing Red Ink and was now ready to decorate the front and back of the heart. I decorated the heart shapes before I folded and adhered the box t...
