Welcome to Tour 4, Stop 10!

Welcome to the Occasions Mini Catalog Tour! There are 16 stops all together that each feature something different from the mini. Don't forget to follow the next link from here and then to all the rest of the stops.
Here we have a classic black and white box stamped with Baroque Motifs and wrapped in taffeta ribbon that I dyed black to match. This makes a wonderful way to give a gift, don't you think?
ETA: This tour is now over, but look for another next month! Thnks so much for visiting!
Here we have the Matchbox Bigz XL Die on page 16. It is AWESOME! Not only do you get the top and bottom of an adorable box, you get three styles of labels! I've actually showed some of these on an earlier post, but here are some more.
First is one in Lavender Lace base and white top stamped with Inspired by Nature grass. On top is the smallest of the Beautiful Butterflies die in glitter with a few holes punched out. 
Next is one in Riding Hood Red with matching Bella Rose DSP. This time I took the Curly Label Punch and punched out the top with some clear acetate behind it so you could see what's inside. Hey, who took my mints?

They would make great favors for any kind of party (even weddings) with mints, chocolates - lots of kinds of candy. You could also fold money inside. Oh hey, you could put lots of buttons, brads, ribbons and many more embellishments in there too.

And last, but not least, for this stop, is for the card makers. Those three labels layer great with some of our punches or even with themselves! Here's a cute, quick card that matches a box above - and a pic of the other label.

And last, but not least, for this stop, is for the card makers. Those three labels layer great with some of our punches or even with themselves! Here's a cute, quick card that matches a box above - and a pic of the other label.Some of the reasons I love this die is that the box requires very little adhesive and all of the pieces can probably be cut with paper from your scrap box! You could get a lot of mileage out of a piece of DSP just using it for the top of your boxes.
So if you're not totally sold on this die, how about if you got a stamp to go with it for FREE? Until the end of April - which is coming up fast - you get to pick a free stamp from our "under $10" page 208 in the Idea Book and Catalog through the Get Connected Promotion. How great is that? Just email me and I'll get you set up.
Well, I can't let you leave just yet - how about some blog candy? Leave me a comment on here telling me what you think of this die and my samples. One of my kids will pick a number from however many comments are made and I'll send you the card above as well as a bunch of pieces from this die so you can make some for yourself!

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the matchboxes!! Totally cute! :-)
Wow! I am sold now I want to get it before the end of April. I love the butterfly box!
LOVE that first box with the grass stamped first and then the glittery butterfly on top. All the samples are great and I'd love to win your card! Thanks for the tour stop, this is a wonderful idea.
I love the Matchbox die. I just used it to make 60 favors for my daughters communion. Very quick and easy. I really like the butterfly one. I've used punces to make a window with the pillow box die but for some reason didn't think to use it with this one.
Sorry Dawn I was too qick to hit the publish button and forgot to sign my name to the above comment.
