Cupcake Anyone?

I guess it was only a matter of time before cakes featured on my matchbox books


A sugar pink matchbox trimmed with a special woven ribbon


and inside, an accordian book with appliqued cupcakes on the front and back covers, tied with machine wrapped cord.


An accordian book with a recipe inside...


For lime and blueberry cupcakes.


In my shop now!


One of results of making these little books is that I'm getting quite a collection of these...


Anyone any good at making matchstick models?

  4. Ooooh I saw this little book on facebook just now and whizzed over to etsy but sadly too late! Your little books are all so wonderful Gina and it's lovely seeing all the different ideas that you're coming up with.

  6. Ahh, perhaps that is how I can support you- with empty matchboxes!

  7. What a gem of a box this one is - that ribbon is just perfect for the outside of it!

    At the risk of my fire starting qualities coming to the forefront again, I would love to light one of the matches on that little tree and take photos of it as they all gradually fizzed into life..... think it might look rather beautiful.
