Festive Fold-Out Secrets with Paula Create’s New Dies

 Hello craft friends!

If you missed Friday Night Live, the wonderful new collection by Paula Create featuring the Matchbook Box and Book Bound dies is officially available! I couldn’t wait to play with these versatile dies again, and this time I decided to go in a bright, joyous Christmas direction.

I wanted to make something truly special and interactive, so I built a fold-out book card using fresh lime greens, icy turquoise, and glowing warm accents. On the front cover, a dimensional wreath frames a bold "Festive Wishes" message, giving a little glimpse of the magic hidden inside. Opening it up feels like unwrapping a tiny gift—inside, the matchbook structures become adorable mini pockets filled with removable holiday tags, secret messages like "Wishing Merry Christmas", and even a cozy little shaker window brimming with snowflakes.

Combining the matchbook pockets with the book bound structure makes it so easy to create layers that invite people to touch, pull, and explore every detail. It was such a joy to bring this piece together, and these new dies offer endless possibilities for holiday cards, mini albums, and keepsake gifts.

The full collection is live now over at Lisa Horton Crafts! Have you already added any of these new die sets to your craft stash? I’d love to hear what you think in the comments!

Hugs,
