I don't know what else to call this--than what it is--a box that has a
drawer and is also a card! They can hold candy and/or gift cards. I was
inspired by a Close to My Heart consultant a few years ago and tweaked
the design to be large enough to hold a gift card.
I'm making quite a few of these with birthday and Valentine themes for the boutique where I sell some of my crafty things!
Here are instructions on how to make a Drawer-Card Box.
First you need one piece of cardstock - 3 1/2" x 12"
Score at 1/2", 4 1/16", 5 1/8", 8 5/8", and 9 11/16".
Fold at all score lines.
Put glue on 1/2" tab. For these kind of projects I like this Scotch Quick Dry Adhesive. The applicator tip is small, so you get nice thin lines of glue.
This tab is placed right under that last score line.
Now you need a piece of cardstock in a coordinating color that is 3 1/2" square. This gets glued under the short flap on top of the card--to complete the "card" part of the box.
Have fun decorating the front of the card.
For the "drawer" part of the card:
One piece of cardstock - 5 7/16" x 5 7/16" -- score at 1" on all four sides.
Cut in on parallel score lines just to horizontal score. It is hard to see, but I marked the places to cut in the picture to the left. Enlarge picture by clicking on it to get a better look.
Miter corners--and now fold on all score lines.
Put dot of glue on small
triangular tabs, and assemble.
Cut a piece of pattern paper 7/8" x 3 3/8" and place on fro
nt of drawer. Use eyelets or brads to attach ribbon for the handle of the drawer.
The drawer is now ready to slide the drawer into the opening under your card.
For the inside of the card (or top of the box!) Cut a piece of coordinating cardstock 3"x3" and then in white or colonial white cut a piece at 2 3/4" x 2 3/4". Stamp or write your greeting on this piece. Adhere the white piece to the 3" square, and the 3" square onto the box.
Now get ready to receive an extra special smile when you give this away!
Have a happy, crafty day!
Last Thursday I went to a fun little place called Picasso and Wine. It is the kind of place where you can discover your inner artist. (or not!!) There is instruction on how to create the nights featured painting while you sip your wine and listen to music. It's lots of fun and you leave with a painting that will either get hung in a place of honor--or the laundry room! So here is a look at my artwork, it will be hung in the laundry room!

The daily journaling squares for the calendar are 1 3/8" square. I haven't adhered them all down, I will do that after I journal on each one. Click on picture to see more detail, but I have stamped around the edge of the paper (from the retired Aspen paper pack) with Snow Flurries. My vision is that I will doodle or stamp more in the blank spaces as the month progresses. I'll post the finished page at the end of the month, along with the new page for February. This will be a 366 day challenge for me! (1 more day for leap year!) If you decide to take on this challenge too, I'd love to see your monthly page ideas!
The stamp set "Little Reminder" is only available until the end of January and with a qualifying purchase you can purchase it for only $5.00!
