Heather and her husband Eric and 3 children live in Kansas where she was transplanted to after growing up in Ohio.  She has been stamping since 1996 and has been a Demonstrator with The Angel Company since 1999.  She has had projects and cards featured in Rubber Stamper, Stampers Sampler and Stamping Arts and Crafts Magazines.  She loves to make something fabulous from the ordinary - especially if it can be turned into a gift to give to those we love.

Supplies:

4 ½ x 2 1/16" Pattern Paper – A Little Whimsy from The Angel Company
11 ½" x 1 7/8" White cardstock

Stamps - Our Family, Partridge, Script Background – All stamps from The Angel Company

 

Step 1:

Where visible, cover up the cardboard color by inking the edges of the inner box and outer matchbox cover. Use a sponge if you have trouble getting into the inside crooks and crannies of the box and tray.

 

Step 2:

Use Scor-Tape™ to affix the pattern piece of paper around the outer matchbox cover.

Step 3:

To add the scallop flap take a 2” circle punch and punch out a piece of white cardstock (or color of choice).  Adhere circle to coordinating color and cut around with scallop scissors.

Step 4:

Center scallop circle on the Scor-Pal between the 8" and 10 1/2 " grooves. Score at 9" and 9 ½"

Step 5:

Fold on scored lines and add any stamping you want on the flap.  I stamped the flower with Spring Pansy Versamagic and the words with Noir Palette ink. 

Step 6:

Adhere scallop circle to outside cover of matchbox cover

Step 7: Inner accordion album. 

Align 11 1/2" to top and left fence. Score at 2 1/2", 5", 7 1/2" and 10".

 

Step 8:

Flip your paper top to bottom NOT side to side. Align left edge to the 1/4".

Score at 1 1/2", 4", 6 1/2" and 9". You have created a 1 1/4" accordion fold.

Step 9: Stamp your mini album before you fold - so you can see where the folds will be and they will not interfere with your stamping.

 

Step 10: Fold on all scored lines and slip into the matchbox tray.
