A Little Gift Box using the Stacking Drawer Die*.
Earlier this month, Sizzix and Eileen Hull re-released the Stacking Drawer Die
along with several other dies. (you can see the original post here)
While there are several ways to use this die,
I thought the Stacking Drawers* would also make a perfect little gift box.

To make the gift box…
- Die-cut the box using the Stacking Drawer Die*, Little Sizzles Matboard*, and the Sizzix Big Shot Die Cutting Machine*.
- I like to paint the mat board with Deco Art Multi-Media Acrylic Paint* before I assemble the box.
- Fold the matboard and adhere to the ends of the die-cut using a Strong Double-Sided Tape*.
- Retouch the paint if necessary.
- FYI…If you use a thinner mat board for the bottom layer of the drawer, it is easier to open and close.
- Another trick to make the drawer run smoother is to rub Clear Paraffin Wax* on the bottom of the drawer and the bottom of the box.
- To decorate the box, I used a Xyron Disposable Sticker Maker* maker to add adhesive to the back of my paper. It’s a quick and easy way to cover the sides of the box.
- I used paper and stickers from the Carta Bella “Bloom” 12″ x 12″ Collection Kit* to decorate the top of the box.
- The box is a great size for adding a pair of earrings or a necklace.
