Matchbox Theatre Kit

I had such fun designing this kit! I was inspired by the late Victorian theatre (and early film) style of painted sets with “real” actors.

Starting with the new Matchbox Theatre Box: A sturdy chipboard box designed to be the structure for a paper theatre. Note the top cubby (the “stage”) can also fit 1:48 scale furniture.

See the wide photo below (showing one of the facades and a background image inside the “stage”) from the new Art Nouveau Matchbox Theatre Facades Collage Sheet (also in the kit — as well as 2 more new collage sheets with characters)!

Note: there’s another wide photo down in the Giveaway section, showing 1 of the new coordinating Fancy Facade Headers (that 1 from the set is also in the kit, and I’m also including the full set of 3 headers in today’s prize)!

Back to the kit: 2 colors of Dresden border strips, 3 different raw brass flourishes, and 6 colors of textured aqua scrapbook paper! There is so much here to get your creative juices flowing!

Go see the new kit for more info and photos on all 11 kit items (plus related new items, a new sale and a Giveaway are below).
