Photo Matchbook
With Valentine’s fast approaching, here’s a quick idea to send a slew of pictures in a quick and cute format as a Valentine matchbook. You can add as many photos as you would like to your matchbook and include both notes and pictures.
I used the kit Love of My Life by Kimeric Creations to create a quick valentine to give to family and friends filled with some fun pictures
Supplies:
- Double sided patterned paper
- 2.75 inch x 2.75 inch pictures printed in a film strip format
- Scissors
- Stapler
First, cut double sided patterned paper into a 3 inch x 10.5 inch rectangle and decorate bottom 5 inches as you could like. I added a heart to cut out using Kellie Mize’s Painted Love brushes. I also added a 0.5 inch x 3 inch wide strip at the top of my rectangle to fold over.
Second, score your 3 inch x 10.5 inch rectangle at 0.5 inch, 4.75 inch and 5.25 inch. Fold over the top of the matchbook and fold up the bottom to create the bottom lip. Create an accordion fold with your pictures.
Third, staple your strip of pictures at the bottom about half way up the bottom tab.
Finally, add ribbon and decorate the front as you would like.
In just a few easy steps, you have a personalized valentine for your loved ones. Happy crafting!
