The Art Impressions Design Team are all sharing projects of the Ai Exclusive set for Simon Says Stamp - available exclusively on the SSS website. I know there are a bunch of Matchbook fans out there, so you're going to love this one! Here is 5950 - Christmas Town MBE:
If you aren't familiar with the Matchbooks (you can find them on the Ai site here!), they are tiny - less than 2" square. And even though they have quite a 3D appearance, they fold flat, and can be put into the tiny matching envelope - scroll down to see mine.
I've used the brand new 5962 - Classic Christmas PP papers, and coloured up my scene in coordinating Copic marker colours. A few Stickles were added to the trees and lamppost.
In order to put the Matchbook set together, you will need the 5318 - MB Envelope Dies (shown here), and they come with these cute little envelope and tag dies, plus a few others. The other set required is 5317 - MB Template Die, which is the 'house' base with that little scalloped edge.
My second card is the CAS version! Who says the set is just to be used as a Matchbook? I stamped and coloured just the main background of houses, and the small trees, and created an inked sky for them to sit against.
You could trim the houses and glue them down flat, but I liked the 3D idea. For mailing, the houses can just be flattened before you put them in a regular A2 sized envelope.
Check out the Ai blog to see what the rest of the design team has to share, and there will be more artwork on the SSS blog, too.
