Ta Da!! We made these cute little matchboxes, appropriately decorated for Easter! Oh I wish I wish I had a die to cut these little boxes. Imagine how many you could make quickly!!
I used the Sycamore Street papers from Sale-a-Bration as my feature paper and of course, matched it perfectly with Summer Starfruit as my box base. Touches of Island Indigo and Tangerine Tango to match!!
And because I love you all, I've also got the instructions for you too, so you can make along with me!!
