Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!
This month, our blog hop team made projects to celebrate Random Acts of Kindness Week, which is February 14-20! We hope you will be inspired by all the beautiful creations the Pals made for you! As you hop from blog to blog, we would love for you to leave a comment. You will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
I love making little Random Act of Kindness cards and gifts. The one for today is a larger version of one I make around Christmas.
Design
Hopefully from the photo you can see that this is one of the old Matchbook treats. When I first began stamping it was a common creation with a variety of notes and treats. I have revitalizing this quick and easy treat for you. Here is a look at the inside.
And Oh My!!! That White Chocolate Sugar Cookie Ghirardelli is amazing !!!! Just saying ! 🙂
Stamps
The fun goose with the awesome Thanks is from the Silly Goose stamp set. Yes, I am a sucker for the cute animal stamps. They are my favorites for hoping to give someone a smile. This image is all it took for the front of this treat. It is stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and then colored with Stampin’ Blends. Although there were only the bill, feet, and the sign to color. Again, a quick and easy treat to make.
For the inside sentiment I went to the Ringed With Nature stamp set. I love the bold Just For You. A perfect match for the treat.
Paper
To make the treat I wanted a color matching the goose. Since I went with a White Goose, that didn’t leave a lot of choices, except for the feet and bill. I chose a darker yellow/orange and went to Mango Melody. It is a favorite color of mine. And I found the perfect matching paper in the Enjoy The Journey Designer Series Paper. This piece with slashes of Mango Melody and Melon Mambo was a match at first sight. And it gave me the pink for the Thanks banner!
Finishes
The finishing touch was to give the decorative detail on the corners of the Goose layer. This was accomplished with the Very Best Trio Punch. And to compliment the pink again, I added one of the 2021-2023 Opal Dots in the pink shade for a touch of bling.
Measurements:
The treat base is Mango Melody cut to 3 1/4 X 7 and scored at 3/4, 4, and 4 1/4. The DSP is cut to 3 X 2 1/2 and 3 X 1/2 . I stapled the 3/4″ fold with two staples closer to each side and lower than half way. This allows the front to tuck in behind easily. Staple and then add the small strip of DSP to hide the staples.
The goose layer is a piece of Basic White cut 2 1/8 X 2 3/8. And the inside sentiment White is 3 X 2 1/2. To add the White Chocolate Sugar Cookie treasure, I used a single Glue Dot. They are strong but pull away fairly easily.
Thanks for visiting today !!
More inspiration awaits, so use the lineup below to visit the rest of the Design Team. The Pals are excited to show you what they’ve created! Then, please mark your calendars for our next blog hop on March 8th, when our theme will be Party Time, showcasing cards/projects that celebrate our family and friends.
Until then, have fun in your craft space.

Great design, Jackie, and my mouth is watering! Plus, you’re making me want the Silly Goose set!
So cute, Jackie! That goose makes me smile every time 🙂 Of course, with chocolate inside, even more smiles!!! Bookmarking now!
Love the matchbook look and the chocolate!
OH so fun and who doesn’t love a little chocolate treat now and then?!
I’m drooling over this darling project Jackie:) Terrific fun to see how my Pals put their own stamp on our Hop!
Love it Jackie! So cute and sure to leave a smile or two.
Jackie, those matchbooks should never go out of style, especially when decorated as cute as yours. This is a great (and delicious) way to show a Random Act of Kindness.
Jackie, I really love that you used the Silly Goose stamp set for your matchbook RAK gift. I really don’t know why I have never made one of these but it’s a wonderful way to spread some cheer. Thank you for joining the blog hop this month.
Such a cute treat holder Jackie! It’s always nice to give candy 🙂
Cute treat holder Jackie! Thank you for revitalizing the matchbook, I love it!
Super sweet matchbook treat holder, Jackie!
