Matchbox Template
Cut out the matchbox template
Adhere it to the patterned paper with glue or tape lightly (just so it'll stay in place while you cut it out)

Assemble Matchbox
After you cut it out, fold along the lines and glue it together
For the lid: simply make it into a box shape and glue the extra tab. Stick it to the inside of the box.
For the base: glue the trapezoid shaped tabs and stick it to the inside of the paper to create a box. Then glue and fold down the second flaps

Circles
As it says on the template, cut out 6 circles. Of those, cut 4 in half and 2 in fourths
On the "lid": put the half cut pieces on every corner of the box like shown
On the base: glue the fourth cut pieces on every corner like shown
When put together, it should look something like this

Outer Straps and Handle
Cut out the long thin strips in the 2nd paper pattern
Wrap the outer straps around the "lid" almost touching the circles, but not too far over
Fold two little tabs so that you can glue the handle down. Trim the tabs if necessary.

Decorate
Decorate the suitcase using the luggage tags and stickers I included in your template
Polaroid Images
Glue the side with the image, then fold it in half, to make it twice as thick. Cut it out and crease it well
Passport and Postcards
Cut out each piece for the passport, the inside and cover. Fold them in half and glue them together with the blank sides together
Do the same for the postcards, glueing the wrong sides together
