Another Set of Christmas Matchboxes

I had a good old rummage in my box of Christmas bits and decided that it was high time these assorted bunch of 3D embellishments were finally used ……
…… and then scrabbled around for small scraps of gingham or other red and cream patterned paper to do some mat and layering.
I also found that I just had enough of the lacy borders Marc spent a morning cutting out for me during his stay in the summer to decorate the sides.
A few red flat back gems, CraftWork card circle sentiments, small peel off corners and a little faux stitching bring everything together.
All that’s needed now are two chocolate bears……
…… for the matchboxes to be ready to hang on the tree.
