Day 5 of Christmas Projects

As promised I am back with another project today. This is a really fun Card/drawer project. You can fill the drawer with a number of things. A set of cards, candy, jewelry and a gift card are a few suggestions. This is my take from what I saw from Andrea's site. She is a very talented crafter. Be sure and stop by her site and take a look around.


This is the top of the project. The center area with the ornaments on it is a 3x3 card that is held closed by that large pewter brad but is easily opened as well.  I used Diamond Glaze and glitter to decorate my ornaments. It gave them a raised glittered appearance. Using my Stamp-a- ma Jig I was able to stamp the Merry Christmas in the bottom left corner. I will come back later with a little tutorial on using a Stamp-a- ma Jig if it is new to you. It can be used with both rubber wood mount stamps and clear acrylic stamps.


Here is a view with the drawer pulled out slightly. I inserted a brad through 2 pieces of ribbon for the drawer pull.


This last picture shows a better view of the drawer pull and drawer. I don't own the Big Shot or the die that cuts a scalloped square so I calculated a size to cut the top and bottom scalloped pieces with my Cricut Expressions and Mini Monograms.I'm happy with how it looks and had so much fun making this. I could see this made for a variety of occasions and in any number of papers.
Hope you enjoyed it!!!
