Matchbook Measurements?
What are the measurements for a matchbook? I do not own any and the ones I am thinking of are tiny! Thanks!

Matchbook measurements
I have some tiny ones that measure about 1.5" x 1.75" inches when folded up. Unfolded they measure 1.5" x 4". I hope this helps.....happy holidays.

Okay, here's a question about matchbooks: Do you make your own and stamp them, or purchase them and stamp them? I saw this company at StampFest earlier this year, and they sold them in a large box. But you stamped right on them, you didn't have to make a template:

How do you stamp yours? I would really like to know!

I have purchased vippies, but sometimes I like to change the color scheme. I have instructions on my website on how to make them :

The size is variable to what you like.

Alicia,
I tried it and it wouldn't come up, either. I tried just going to the home page (
www.stamponthis.com ) and clicking on the matchbox and the template came up.
It's a nice site!!
