A Quick Christmas Gift Box with Eileen Hull's Stacking Drawers Die

 

Christmas is quickly approaching and it's time to start making gift boxes ahead of time. Eileen's Stacking Drawer Die is a perfect size to hold a small gift.

Cut out from Sizzix Matboard it makes a sturdy little box to keep any gift safe and sound.

I painted the inside of mine black and chose some fabulous Christmas paper from Anna Griffin that's been in my stash for years. I found a couple of embellishments in there too, which makes this an even quicker make!

I used the die to cut the front of the drawer from the patterned paper, this makes it super easy to get everything lined up where it should be. then I carefully cut out a piece of paper for the back of the drawer, and a long strip to cover the outside of the drawer case completely. I used double side tape to adhere the paper to the matboard. Again this makes it super easy especially when batch making.

Now all I had to do was to add those pre-made embellishments and it's one gift box completely finished.

All ready for something special to be popped in.

So my Christmas makes have begun, have you started yours yet? Let me know in the comments.

Happy Crafting.

What's in the Box with Eileen Hull Designs

This week I'm sharing a very simple project using Eileen Hull's Treasure Box Die.

I die cut and put together the Treasure Box out of Matboard and created a hinge using my favourite bookbinding tape from CoolKatz Craft. This is very strong and you can decorate over it withpaper, paint etc.

Once the box was thoroughly dry I added small pieces of rice paper to completely cover the outside. The silk fibres in the Cadence rice paper give a wonderful texture, as do the torn edges. Again I set the box aside to dry completely.

I chose to go over the box in some area's with Ivory Lustre Wax followed by a light rub of Charcoal Lustre Wax around all of the edges.

The texture of the rice paper pickes up the beautiful sheen of the Lustre Wax really well.

I added a couple of resin pieces from my collection. The florals across the lid and also a key hole on the front of the box.

I stippled the Charcoal Lustre Wax all over both of the resin pieces, and also a little of the Ivory Luster Wax.

For an extra shine I then decided to add even more of the Lustre Wax, this time I reached for the Silver. This gives a high shine and brings the texture on the Treasure Box to life. It almost looks like a vintage silver box from many moons ago.....

I also love that some of the pattern from the rice paper is still visable, with peach roses peeking through.

And whats in the box.........................

Secrets of course..............................
