DT PROJECT FOR BEE HAPPY CRAFTS: Easel Card With Drawer

Hi again! Here is another Christmas project. It is perfect for small gift items. If you're interested on how to make one, there is a video tutorial done by Lady Lee on her Youtube channel Digital Delights. It has all the measurements that you would need should you intend to make one (or a couple).

You can put in some chocolates or a small gift inside the drawer.

My base is black. I used papers from various collections. I don't usually use papers from only one collection when making a project.

For the easel card, I distressed a piece of designer paper and adhered it onto the card base. I added a length of lace trimming before putting a die cut over it. The die cut was inked and stamped and it was adhered onto the card with foam tape for dimension. Then I glued a resin frame which I decorated with gold stamen at the center of the die cut.

I attached a metal charm on the drawer and adhered a pearl to make the pull tab. Why didn't I think of this before? The pull tab is really cool. I just love it!

As for the stopper, I made a die cut out of the DCWV chalkboard stack and wrote the sentiment. I smudged the soft pastel all over the surface for added effect and adhered crystals as a finishing touch.
This is another fun project. I hope you like it. Thanks for looking!

CARD# HPJ-2015-20: TENT/EASEL CARD WITH DRAWER

Hello guys! Here is something I made by combining two main card techniques—a tent slash easel card. To tell you honestly, it does look pretty but then it is a bit hard to pack since the bottom of the card is attached to the drawer part. It couldn’t be folded forward. If I made everything even then it could probably be fold backwards. Anyway, I still feel good about this card.

Again, if you haven’t seen the Christmas tent cards I made last year where I put a link to a tutorial by Beate Johns of Splitcoaststampers, you can find it here.

As for the drawer, I referred to this very helpful tutorial on Youtube by DigitalDelights. It is easy to follow. I just love how useful it is. I think I stumbled upon it about two years or so ago when I wanted to make a card with something to hold chocolates in. I am so thankful to all those who make the effort to show how things are done. I learn a lot from them. You are all so awesome!

For the front of the card, I decorated it with a couple of paper flowers, crystals and beads. The papers were already pretty as they are so I need not to put more embellishments to it.

This project was just brought about by some random thought. I may try another technique some other time. 

So that was that. Thank you for stopping by. I hope you check out my previous projects as well as my newer ones. Have a wonderful day!
