Tuesday Tips - Matchbox "Double Drawers"

Here's a great way to give jewelry as a Christmas gift!  {Or anything else of similar size!}.....make a darling little two drawer gift box and add a special something in each drawer!  It is so easy to make this gift box if you have the Stampin' Up Bigz Matchbox Die and a Big Shot diecutting machine!  This little box is one of the projects the gals made at my recent "Christmas Buffet" stamp camp!

You will need to die cut two sets of the matchbox and sleeve.  The Riding Hood Red little tag is actually one of three tag shapes that are also cut in the matchbox die!  So that matchbox die is really both a matchbox AND a tag shape die!  I love the curvy shapes of each of the tags on that die!  Here I layered tag shapes and topped it with a round message!  Cute as a button!

Be sure to insert and secure the buttons {mine are pearly brads!} before assembling the matchbox if you want to hide the wings of the brad.  Adhere the two box "sleeves" together, then wrap around a strip of cs.  A wide ribbon secures everything!

Wouldn't it be terrific to hide a pair of earrings in one drawer and a necklace or bracelet in the second drawer and give it as a gift?!
