Easel Drawer

For today, I decided to construct an easel card drawer. This idea had been roving in my mind for some time now, and I decided to put my hands on it!

Easel cards can be stored flat yet opened up to stand when the receiver receives it. So I thought, why not add a drawer to include some special gifts for the receiver as well?

So I started out with making the starburst background for my card. The triangular shapes were cut from different pattern papers and I used the Xyron 3" sticker maker to provide adhesive to my pieces. It's so convinient!

See? All the bits and pieces are now ready for use. I even had excess for my next project! 

Next i prepared some die-cuts to use for my easel card. These Maya Road dies are my top favorites! Here you will see the diagonal ATC die-cut, Amazing Grace Script diecut, Geometric Leave die-cut and my latest favorite floral die! You need this die for sure!

Here's a short video on how I used the Xyron with Maya Road dies. Never lose that dot above your "i" anymore!

I started out adhering the triangle pieces in a starburst fashion and stitched them with a sewing machine. For the die-cuts, I simply ran them through the Xyron sticker makers! Running them through was fun and easy! 

Oh yes, i ran a chipboard through as well! I'm using a chipboard piece from Maya Road - Shot through the Heart chipboard set. For this piece, I took my markers and colored it. 

Everything is now ready for me to start decorating! 

Here is a another closer look into the drawer box. Yes I did run this Maya Road token through the 3" Xyron sticker maker too!
