New release at crafty sentiments

Good morning everyone..

Wow, today I can show you something I made with one of the fantastic new released images from Crafty sentiments,

The girls will be showcasing some fab projects over the next few days. Please stop by our Inspirational blog for more details and previews.

For my project I used the gorgeous 'I love you' stamp...

This is the first project I've done like this, quite happy how it turned out too..

Materials/instructions

1. I stamped my image and coloured with promarkers, I cut it out using my nesti die.

2. I created two drawers from sturdy cardstock (6x6") I scored around the edge of the cardstock then snipped, folded and secured into the drawers. 

3. I then added some black gems to act as handles on both drawers.

4. I made the base that the drawers will go into..for this I used card measuring 6 1/2 inches x 5 1/2 inches, scored around three sides, folded and secured into place

5. I then did the same for a piece of card a few mm smaller so it could act as a lid for the base..

6. By fixing the two together it creates a hole/place for the drawer to lie in..

7. I did this two times because I have two drawers, however if you wanted more you would just make more and secure then on top of each other.

8. I then created an easle type panel to sit on top of the drawer unit and added my image.

9. I finished the drawers by adding a few decorative items such as ribbon, sentiment and gems.

Well that's all from me for now..  

Have a good Sunday. Hopefully I will be back later with another card.

Hugs Kelly xx
