<\/a><\/p>\nI’m going to share how to make the basic structure of the box, drawer and card. Don’t worry, it looks complicated and there are quite a few photographs but really it’s very simple and straightforward. Also I should apologise for the colours in the photographs, taken at night under dodgy lighting they all had a horrible yellow tinge so I’ve changed them all to black and white to save your poor eyes \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n Making the box:<\/p>\n Cut 2 pieces of cardstock 9 7\/8″ x 9 7\/8″ which will make the drawer and 11″ x 5″ which will make the box framework<\/p>\n Score the large square at 1, 2 and 3 inches from each side and the rectangle piece of cardstock at 1, 5, 6, and 10 inches starting from the left side then turn it around and score all the way along the long edge at\u00a01 inch<\/p>\n Your card pieces should look like this (I’ve marked the scores with a black pen so you can easily see them)<\/p>\n Making the box first, fold along all the score lines you just made then cut as in this photograph to create the flaps and then add glue to the flaps where I’ve added the squiggles<\/p>\n Fold over the flaps to make the box<\/p>\n Taking the square piece of card that you have already scored you need to cut away all the sections that I’ve squiggled on in the photograph to make the drawer, you can see the main shape of the drawer with the 4 sides and flaps to tuck in<\/p>\n Fold on the score lines for each side. From the centre fold in on the first score line …<\/p>\n From the centre fold in on the second score line …<\/p>\n From the centre fold out on the third score line, repeat this for all four sides of the drawer<\/p>\n Construct the drawer by folding in the tabs …<\/p>\n Folding over the side …<\/p>\n … and pushing down into the drawer. As you have already scored and folded each line your drawer will basically come together by itself with just a little pushing and pulling<\/p>\n Slot the drawer into the box<\/p>\n To make the card that is attached to the top of the drawer take a piece of card that is 8″ x 4″ and score at 4 and 6 inches from the left side<\/p>\n Fold over to make a little easel shape (without the drawer this type of card is called an easel card as the front stands up as if on an artists easel) apply glue to the bottom and attach to the top of your box<\/p>\n Cut a second piece of card that is 4 inches square which will become the decorated front of the card, glue it to the easel on the bottom 2 inches only which keeps the back of the card nice and neat. This will simply fold down when you want to give the card to the recipient.<\/p>\n Now that you have made your basic structure simply print papers and cut to size, gluing them to all the sides of the box, the front of the drawer and the card. It’s nice to cover the inside of the drawer too and remember to tie on a button to the drawer front so it can be pulled open<\/p>\n Supplies:<\/p>\n Papers – Happy and Healthy for Life <\/a>by Jenn Barrette at Sweet Shoppe Designs<\/p>\n Haberdashery dies – My Favorite Things<\/a><\/p>\n Tag die and sentiment stamp – Papertrey Ink<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
