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.
