Matchbook chocolate holder

I saw this cute matchbook on splitcoast stampers and had to give it a try. It holds a Ghiradelli Chocolate and it's the perfect thank you to drop in a customer's bag when you deliver their order.

I used Certainly Celery, basic gray and So Saffron cs, Tea Party dsp (retired). I decorated the outside with the flower blossoms punch and flower brads. The greeting on the inside is from Hodgepodge Happiness.

Priceless

This card I CASE'd from my upline France. In class we did this in pear pizzaz so I thought I would try a different color. My color choice is peach parfait and I love how it turned out.

Card recipe:
Base layer - 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 folded in half in whisper white
layer 2 - 4 x 5 1/4 in basic black - I stamped in white craft using the Priceless stamp set. Once dried I colored them with my water color pencils and the signo gel pen. I then used my two way glue pen and added some dazzeling diamonds.
layer 3 - 2 x 5 1/4 in whisper white and stamped with Charming in peach parfait. I also sponged the edges in peach parfait as well.

My embellishments are the flower blossom and butterflies sizzlits. Some peach parfait ribbon along with a tangerine tango button and a little black taffeta 1/8" ribbon. The greeting is stamped using Happy Greetings from the summer mini, page 26, and colored with basic black and peach parfait markers.
