Valentine Matchbook Tutorial

January 23, 2010 By Michelle Last

A quick and simple matchbook tutorial for Valentines using Stampin Up products.

Sab cards 003

Please be kind, this was my first YouTube tutorial. I know too many uumm’s and I didn’t realise how often I say the word little (and mis-pronounce it!) so will work on that next time but I really hope you enjoy the tutorial, let me know what you think.

All the supplies I have used are from Stampin’ Up. Please visit my blog for more information on Stampin’ Up, to request a copy of the latest catalogue or to place an order. I am here to help!

    Really LOVE your tutorial… you sounded so nervous at first but you relaxed the more you got into it. I will definitely be trying this one out, thank you. Can’t wait to see more of these wonderful “clips” from you!

    Hi Michelle, that was great! I am trying to come up with a little project to make with the children at work for valentines day. I do a little card making session with them every year and am struggling to find something fresh. With a few adaptions I might be able to make something similar! Thank you so much for the inspiration and a really easy to follow tutorial. Jo x

Interactive Mini Album I've been busy behind the Interactive Mini Album

I've been busy behind the scenes creating a special mini album for my team retreat this weekend. I can't wait to spend time with my wonderful team—being creative together, sharing lots of laughs and making this beautiful keepsake. If you've followed me for a while, you'll know I have a real love for mini albums. They're one of my favourite ways to preserve memories because they tell a story that's far bigger than a single scrapbook page....
