Did You Know This About SU Matchbox Die?
 
2 Attachment(s)
Did you know that Stampin Up's Matchbox Die when made up will hold three Ghirardelli squares? I was playing around with my die and some paper roses that I made and thought...let's try a Ghirardelli square in it to see if it fits....and it does!!! Here is a picture of my matchbox that I made, this was my second try on making these paper roses that uses the Extra Fancy Flower punch. I found the directions for flowers here:

I love the Hershey nuggets, but I'm glad there is something else that will fit nicely in the matchbox! It's good to have options!

Love the box, the rose....and um...the chocolate! :)


Does the die only work with certain cutting systems? I'm new to them...don't have one yet...but thinking about getting one eventually!

Thanks!

no you can use it in most of the rolling die cut machines. Look in the products forum for threads dedicated to different systems for more enabling, I mean help :)

Aimee...how many hersery's nuggest fit in?

Susan...added to gallery today, THANKS!!

Do Hersery's Kisses fit in the matchbox? Anyone know? How cute would that be to put Hugs and Kisses in one for wedding table favors!!

the match box will hold 4 hershey nuggets. Hershey's kisses are just barely too tall to fit standing upright. If you tip them on their sides you can fit at least 6 of them. I didn't have enough kisses left to see for sure. It will also hold 3 chapsticks which look great wrapped in pretty paper.

craftymomto2 05-12-2010 06:02 PM

See...I didn't know it would hold chapsticks! That's a good idea! Anymore ideas? These would be good gifts for co-workers at Christmas, let's see what else we can think of! :)

Wow! You managed to not eat THREE of those squares? I can usually hold out and not eat one but THREE? You, my friend, have risen to hero status. I bow to you.

The box is adorable, too, by the way. Thanks for sharing!

LOL!!! Your cute Wendy, thanks for making me giggle! Many, many moons ago I worked at the finance center for the Marine Corps here in Kansas City, in the allotments division.

Exactly! I was thinking that when I first saw the pics. Those little squares don't survive in my house. Very good to know, should my will power increase...I will use them!
