Matchbook Folds — I’m on a fold kick latey, and today it is a matchbook fold.  With this fold you have one small fold and one large fold so it kind of looks like and opens like a matchbook.  Check out all the DT samples today for some fun ideas and great inspiration with this fun fold!

And here’s my matchbook creation for this week,

I haven’t done a matchbook fold in years and forgot how FUN they were.  I kept it simple, using Raspberry Tart DP and Cameo Coral (SU) for my color and some of the NEW product by JustRite for my Miss You Sentiment from JUST A NOTE  and my 2″ WIDE Border — links at end of post.  I have a piece of 3/8″ Black Velvet glued onto the bottom portion, and it’s just cut on the ends. (NOTE:  3 new types of Velvet are being added to the Stamp Simply Ribbon Store this weekend!)

Here’s the open view so you can see how it functions.  The top flap slides under the bottom flap, just like a matchbook.  I have the very bottom portion of the small flap glued down, way inside the fold, allowing room for the top flap to enter.  (When you click on Bethany’s link above, she shows a photo of exactly what I did — she did it just the same.)  My sentiment is attached to the bottom flap with SU Dimensionals.  It is cut with my Petite Circle Nesties and decorated with Kaiser Pearls in Snow.  Here’s the how-to:

• Cut your paper the long way, to 11 x 4 25.

• Score in 1.25″ from one short edge, score again 5.25″ down from your first score.

Two NEW sets available on preorder were used to make this sentiment.  JUST A NOTE BORDER AND CENTERS to fit the 1 5/8 and 2″ Stampers was used for the sentiment and the 2″ ROUND WIDE BORDERS was used for my pretty, wide border.

If you scroll to the bottom of this post you can see some of the NEW product and click on links to take you to the other sets in the November Release lineup.
