Hi everyone and welcome. This month Eileen Hull Designs team is focusing on some top drawer project inspiration with a focus on Eileen Hull's Stacking Drawer Sizzix Scoreboards Die. Make sure to hop on over to Eileen's blog to see what the rest of the team have made with this die.
I wanted to make a quick, decorative little gift box and Eileen's die is perfect for this purpose.
Here's the tutorial, starting by cutting the mountboard (matboard) with the Stacking Drawer Die and then embossing it with Eileen's Sizzix 3D Lace Embossing Folder - note that I only embossed the drawer front. Assemble using strong glue and allow the drawer and sleeve to set.
Paint the drawer and sleeve with matte black paint on the inside and outside.
Gently brush Sizzix Gold Luster Wax over the raised areas to reveal the beautiful Lace pattern.
Cut flowers and leaves using Eileen's Sizzix Thinlits Painterly Blooms & Background Die Set. Arrange and stick to the top of the drawer sleeve.
You'll see that I choose to paint my flowers and leaves to replicate pansies but you can cut them from Sizzix Cardstock if you'll prefer.
And that's it! Add tissue if needed and of course your gift - whoever receives your Stacking Drawer gift box will be able to keep/re-use it after opening.
I hope you've enjoyed seeing this month's Stacking Drawer project. Make sure to check out all the ideas from the rest of the team - as a reminder, links to their posts can be found on Eileen's blog.
For now thanks for visiting,
