Hi
Friends!
I
hope all of you are having a great week so far!
This Easel Card Drawer Box was designed for the Splitcoaststampers F4A410 “Favorite Stamp of 2017” Challenge.
I could not pick just one image for
my favorite but I absolutely love
sharing God’s Word on cards and thought that I would use a verse from the Our
Daily Bread Designs Scripture Collection 11 stamp set (this is the first time I
had a chance to ink up this verse).
This
is the second Easel Card Drawer Box that I created this week- the first one was
for my Christmas gift to my niece (I neglected to take a photo). The top part of the easel was hand cut to
look like a piano top and a piano key die was used for the “keys” to hold up
the easel. For an added bonus, I created
a money booklet and placed some cash inside the drawer. I liked her easel card drawer so much I decided to create one for my stamping area :-)
I
had the idea for this project when I saw that Splitcoaststampers Drawer Box Tutorial but also searched on YouTube and found a great video as well (see here- long but great instructions)
I
am also linking this project to the Simon Says Wednesday “Anything Goes”Challenge.
If
you have not had a chance to check out the Splitcoaststampers Free For All
gallery or the Simon Says Wednesday challenge site yet, I hope you will find
time to do so- wonderful inspiration from all!
To
create this project:
1).
Cut the following pieces from Black Chipboard- a).Top- 4” x 4” ; b). Drawer – 3 ¾” x 3 ¾” ; c). Drawer Sides (Four Total)- 2- 15/16” x 3
13/16” (note these as North & South), 2- 15/16” x 3 ¾” (note these as East
& West)
From Basic Black Cardstock- a). 4” x 10 ½”- Score at 1”, 5”, 6” and 10” (case
around the drawer; b). 4” x 8”- Score at 2” and 4” (easel portion of the card);
c). 5 ⅞” x 5 ⅞” – Score at 1” on all four sides (this will be the drawer); d). die
cut 4” x 4 ½” (for card front) and e). 4” x 2” (lower part to hold up the
easel)- see step #6 for dies
From Designer Paper- a). 3 ⅝” x 3 ⅝” (drawer bottom); b). 8 pieces- 13/16” x 3 ⅝”
2).
Add ScorTape to the ½” flap on the cardstock 10 ½” piece, assemble into a
box. Adhere the 4” x 4” chipboard piece
to the top of the drawer box. Mount the easel card to the top of the chipboard.
3).
Trim the 5 ⅞” square piece of cardstock at the two scores on the opposite sides
(trim only up to the score line). Use a
piercer tool or hole punch to punch an opening for the brad handle. Line up the North piece of chipboard and
punch a coordinating hole.
4).
Dry fit the North, South, East and West chipboard pieces to the inside of the
drawer (cardstock piece “c” from above), trim a bit if needed and adhere to the
inside of the cardstock drawer.
5).
Adhere one of the “b” pieces of designer paper to the outside of the front of
the drawer, add the Antique Brad for the handle. Mount the rest of the “b” pieces to the
inside of the drawer and on the outside edges of the drawer case as well as the
back of the drawer.
FYI- I accidentally added designer paper to the outside
edges of the drawer itself and had to cut two additional pieces of the designer
paper. Thankfully the drawer still works properly :-)
6).
From Basic Black cardstock, use the My Favorite Things™ (MFT) Die-namics Fancy
Ticket Die to die cut the top part of the card (d) from Basic Black cardstock and
the MFT Stitched Horizontal Strip Dies to die cut the 2” x 4” piece (e).
7).
Ink the verse sentiment from ODBD Scripture Collection 11 with Versafine™ Onyx
Black Ink, stamp onto Whisper White cardstock, apply clear embossing powder and
heat set with a heat tool. Once the
embossing has cooled, die cut with the MFT Stitched Circle STAX Dies, mount
directly onto the card front piece from Step #6.
8).
Die cut several flowers from Real Red cardstock using MFT Royal Rose and MFT
Mini Royal Rose Dies. Crimp the die
cuts, roll the flowers and adhere with hot glue.
9).
Punch leaves from Wild Wasabi cardstock using the Leaf Punch (Martha Stewart).
10).
Add the flowers with the leaves to the card front and a few onto the lower part
of the easel (to help hold up the easel when opened).
11).
Use a Spectrum Noir™ Clear Glitter Pen to add shimmer to the rose petals.
