Tiny Matchbox Book plus an Alice in Wonderland Sale (and Gift)!
Filed under Alice in Wonderland, Art Projects, Back in Stock, Giveaways, Rubber Stamps, Sale, Teri Calia
I’ve been trying to (keep) thinking up little projects for you all. I know a few of you are super busy this month… or have not yet recovered from taxes (or lingering snow). So to follow up the recent small projects (like the Fairy Door Charms or Tiny Tote Box), there’s a new Matchbox Skyline Book today (and adorable artwork using it, by Teri Calia)!
Aw… such a cute little set (see the photo at right). The Matchbox Skyline Book is a flat set of chipboard pieces (with score lines) to build a small accordion-fold booklet that fits inside a matchbox (box plus sliding cover). Plus the booklet has a mix of building roof silhouettes so you can play with how you decorate, and you can see a preview when the booklet is folded closed.
The matchbox itself is approx. 1-3/4″ x 2-1/8″ (x 3/8″ deep) when closed. It’s got a lot of wiggle room so you can paper the matchbox (and embellish the booklet) and still slide the matchbox open.
Ohhh… ahhh. Just look at that tiny masterpiece by Teri! Pretty much all the paper (inside and out) is from the Maps, Text & Ledgers 8×8 Paper Set (that set is huge — 60 pages — and Teri used the postage stamps from it as little scenes inside the windows on all her book pages).
The only exceptions (regarding paper) are from the Butterflies & Moths Collage Sheet or the Words Collage Sheet. Then add a bit of shine and a knob and you’re done!
Here’s a link to see all of Teri’s supplies, and you can see more photos and read more on Teri’s blog post. There’s a chance to win EVERYTHING Teri used (plus a couple suggestions by moi) down in the Giveaway.
And between here and there, info on how Alice wiggled her way into this project….

I love it. I would use maps and ‘road trip’ style on it.
A little Halloween town would be spectacular!
Cute idea! I think I would use images of pets through windows to illustrate a “neighbors” theme! My cat frequently sits at the window and meows at other pets passing by.
It could also be a very cute Christmas village scene for the holidays.
I think the Christmas village scene is a good idea.
Use the stamps and create an Alice themed timeline of her adventures.
This is really cool. I have numerous thumbnails of cemetery pics I took so perhaps I a cemetery themed project is in order!
I think I would use an undersea theme with lots of octopi for my niece who loves cephalopods.
If I didn’t have laryngitis I would say HURRAH! I am loving these little matchbook books and this skyline book is so cute! Alice. Alice will always win when it comes to inspiration lol! I love those little stamps!
I would definitely use the Alice stamps in conjunction with the book. Thanks for the chance to win this neat giveaway 🙂
Im thinking vintage witches faces in the windows!
Love them!
Hmmm…. Maybe I’d do my own little neighborhood, since I know a few of my lovely neighbors. 😀
Altered Matchboxes are my passion. Thank you for the opportunity to win.
I would make a beach theme.
Love anything “secret”…books, boxes….so this giveaway is right up my alley! Love the China cabinet house accessories sheet, and would use that to make a teeny, tiny scene. Thanks for a chance to win.
What a lovely little project to do! I love Alice in Wonderland.
Happy to make a tiny box to take to restaurants! I’ll share this with my little grandbabies and OHhhhhhhhh the stories we’ll tell.
Maybe houses in a whimsical village.
Alice! I love Alice.
I think mine would be fairy themed but there are so many groovy things that could be done! I love altering match boxes! Thank you Alpha Stamps!!!!
OMG!!! So cute I love Teri’s matchbox. Cats as I love cats. >^..^<
Such a whimsical and wonderful chance to make a tiny fairy theme with these houses! Maybe my 15 year old granddaughter will join in the fun with me. Think I’ll order extras for us! Awesome! Thank you for the chance to win and be creative!
These are adorable! I would make mine with a beach theme. With a few tiny shells on the outside of the match box.
Alice themed would be fantastic! I just got back from a trip to Disneyland, so maybe I could even find an extra memento from the trip to incorporate into the project!
So sweet! Wouldn’t a Christmas village theme be fun?
I would decorate my matchbook houses with puppies! Lots of doggies living in lil’ houses and pup toys, fire hydrants, bones…all the good stuff that goes with sweet furkids! 🙂
adorable would do a steampunk theme
I love anything house shaped and also love all things mini, so this is adorable to me. Oh, the possibilities!
Love the tiny matchboxes! I would do the vintage theme but Alice would also be something I’d like to do.
Love the house book… I’d have all my ancestors looking out of the windows.
Vintage for sure, Christmas would be fun!
I would love to win! How adorable!
Ooh either Alice, or maybe an English village
I would love to do the faux postage on the skyline.
I love this! I’ve been playing with match boxes for a while and never get tired. The white paper lace is wonderful. It reminds of Victorian Broider Anglaise. It’d do a shabby chic look for this one.
Halloween spooky village
This is adorable! I would love to do the Alice project.
I would like to do mine with the faux postage with travel paper.
I would definitely do an Alice theme!
Love, love the Tiny Matchbox Book and Alice is perfect for the decoration.
My theme would be Alice ish for my book.
I would do an Alice and fairy tale theme. Thank you for another opportunity!
Wow, I love, love, love how Teri decorated her matchbox. I’m tempted to copy her, but also think that an Alice theme would be fun. I haven’t done one yet and Love Teri’s idea of using the stamps for the window interiors. So an Alice through the Windows matchbox/sky line books.
Love your blog for inspiration!
So cute!!! I would do Halloween matchbox/skyline!!!
I would make mine Alice in wonderland of course! I love everything about Alice in wonderland!
I love these tiny projects; so many possibilities.
So exciting! Love anything Alice.
Tiny treasures plus Alice (my Favorite). How can I resist?
I would use G45’s Faerie Dust Collection to decorate this if I am the winner! Totally stunning sample! TFS!

Love the little houses! I would definitely do Alice theme. I love, love everything Alice!
Holy cow! I don’t know how you do these! So cute!!! Love this!
I’ve never done an Alice or a matchbox so I think I would try that.
I love all things kitchen and food so I think I’d focus on the tiny china cabinet collage sheet to create something adorable!
I would make an Alice themed matchbox story using the faux Alice in Wonderland postage stamps. Love the artwork by Teri!
i love the matchboxes! so many ideas that they could be used for – books, cards, valentines! ENDLESS IDEAS!

Alice themed.little houses are my delight.
Congrats to Dona! Wow! Love Teri’s inspiration! Lots of options, maybe a pic of each grandchild in a window. Thanks for the opportunity.
Alice in Wonderland definitely!!
Alive is my best friend I love having tea with her
Alice or Dorothy? hmmm…maybe Cinderella? So many choices!
The items in this group are delightful. I would love the Alice project, but I would also like to try small fairies!
Vintage for sure…maybe halloween or thanksgiving
Alice is perfecr for this project, especially with the different shapes.
Definitely beach houses, great chance to use the little sea star brads!
I would love to try the Alice in Wonderland matchbook.
I do like the Alice theme and might go with that or Halloween in Wonderland.
I’d do a Victorian themed Art Journal Shadowbox and/or an Alice in Wonderland one.
I love the Fairy realm, have to go with that theme, Love Teri’s work
I just love the tiny matchbox with the houses!
Great artwork! Would like to make an Alice goes on vacation book using some vintage travel postcards and stamps I have in my collection of ephemera. I like to use small boxes and tins for making fun pieces.
There is nothing you guys offer that is not inspiring and it all makes me want to craft 24/7. I want to try to make a bunch of small skyline matchbook cards for my friends either for Halloween or Valentine’s Day!
I like the Alice idea!
