Anyhow, to salvage my project I made some adjustments to make it into a square matchbook. Here are my measurements, if you end up wanting a square gift card holder. My finished project is 4.25" square. My starting piece was 4.25" x 8.75" and I scored at 1-3/4", 6" and 6-1/8".
The soft suede matchbook layer is stamped with the heart from Chevron Love in Early Espresso. I added a little decor to the opening of my matchbook as well. The hearts are cut with the Heart Quartet Die, then I paper pieced the designer paper hearts into the crumb cake layer, adding a bunch of sponging. The sentiment is also from Chevron Love and is on a cut from the Flag It Die Set.
For the inside, I chose a fun little print for the liner. Pay no attention to the ugly fake amex card that I use to scrape paint off my projects with. I was using it for size reference and meant to switch it out to a real gift card before photos, but it just didn't happen.
