Three dimensional art... with heart

Drawer or Box? You decide…

On the Sizzix blog, I showed this Stacking Drawers project I created using the new Candy Drawer die from the Sweet Treats collection.

I promised to show you another way the die can be configured to make a box with a lid- yes- all from the same die… It’s all in how you tape it up. 

The drawer part goes together the same either way. Add strong double sided tape to all tabbed areas. Fold the drawer up and center the square piece on the bottom of the tabs. Press into place.


I also decided to emboss the frame section of the drawer so I ran it through the Big Shot with a Textured Impressions folder.

Add tape to the two segments of the box nearest the notched end. Place the drawer section on top of the second segment and fold and press the notched end up to the edge of the drawer. This forms a fun little box that opens and closes. I love that this box may be used in different ways!

I couldn’t resist adding some glitter. Take your Versamark Watermark stamp pad and run it over the raised areas of the embossing. Pour glitter on top and shake off excess. I love these new Momenta metal stickers and this one was just what I was looking for. Add sticker first, then glitter.

Wishing a Happy Birthday to my son Chris who is in Afghanistan. Can’t wait to give him a huge hug…


Thanks for stopping by!
