Matchbook Birthday Card

 Hey everyone, Carolyn here for ScrapBook Blessings Club to share with you Monday's die/cutting project. We will be using the Silhouette Cameo and software today.  

First, I have my tip of the day for you...  don't wait until the end of the day to take photos of your handiwork. You picture color is better in natural light.

So onto our project. Here with a matchbook card I created for my granddaughter's 13th birthday, showing closed and opened views:

My recipe for this 

Matchbook Card from the Silhouette Online Store

Cardstock used:  Stampin! Up and Colorbox 12x12 paper pad

Stamp sets used:  Stampin! Up  Birthday Wish

                             Stampin! Up Girlfriend Accessories

Image is from The Craft Studio

I brought up the image in The Craft Studio and sized it to 4.25 x 4.25 and than printed.  Plus the sentiment was sized to fit.

I than went to my Silhouette Studio Design Edition and brought up the Matchbook Card file and resized to 4.25 x 8.50 and cut it out.  This file included the scalloped square which I also resized.  Very easy to cut out and put together.  The pocket I cut out, and folded the sides as valley and mountain folds, and used 1/4" scor-tape to tape it into a pocket.  Added adhesive to back of pocket and placed in the inside of matchbook card.  

The top inside I cut out a 4.25 x 4.25 (approx) and stamped the sentiment and two images on each corner, and than used my Spectrum Noir ink markers to color in.

The sentiment, "Have a Fabulous Day" I printed and cut with the Cameo and placed foam tape on the back and placed where the cover would slip into.  

And I placed a Clarinet charm and chain in the pocket for a gift for my granddaughter who participates in band.  

Die cutting machine used:  Silhouette Cameo and software.

Die cuts used:  scalloped square and a rectangle piece for the backing on the sentiment.
