How to make a Halloween matchbox. This is the final episode no. 6 of 6 in my Halloween Countdown Series. I’m using the Choose Happy photopolymer stamps and the Halloween Spells 12″x 12″ (30.5 x 30.5 cm) Designer Series Paper (DSP for short). In addition, the new Halloween Memories photopolymer stamp set which is an online exclusive in the September Scrapbooking digital brochure.
Long story short – I’ve been de-cluttering and all the special projects I’ve made in the past 15 years have been gathering dust. I’d put them away for reference in case I wanted to make them again. It was heart wrenching to have to bin nearly all the cards, 3D items, mini albums etc. but I’ve rescued this one to use as a template for a matchbox. So here’s how to make a Halloween treat box.
