Treasure Box

Dear Ones~
Today's creation is not a card. I made it for the StampTV Guest Designer Challenge. This is the challenge:

Make anything BUT a regular, flat greeting card.  It can be a unique card....like a pop up card, a gift card holder, a tent topper....or it can be an altered item....let your creativity flow!!!!   

 So I decided to go outside the box, or rather, to go inside the box. Last fall I made a really cute Advent Box that contained 24 drawers for each day of advent. I thought, wouldn't it be fun to make that again, only just do 8 drawers that could hold earrings or other treasures.

Here's what I came up with:

Here's a view of the top:

And here's a view of the box with some of the drawers open:

The drawers are staggered, so each one is in a different position. I made my own patterned paper with stamps from the Gina K Designs stamp set Hello Sunshine and Simple Flowers. It took me FOREVER to pick the color combination, I think that was the hardest part. I finally settled on Gina K Designs Bubble Gum Pink, Passionate Pink, Sweet Mango and Memento New Sprout. I just stamped the images all over an 8 1/2 x 11 piece of Pure Luxury Card Stock with no particular pattern. Just wanted to completely fill in all the spaces. What fun!!!

The flower on top was cut with my Cricut using the Art Philosophy cartridge, and I used the Spellbinders Lotus die for underneath the flower.

Here are the supplies I used:
Strathmore Bristol Board for the drawers
Gina K Designs Pure Luxury Card Stock in White
Recollections Pink Buttons Card Stock
Gina K Designs Dye Ink in:
     Bubble Gum Pink
     Passionate Pink
     Sweet Mango
Memento Dye Ink in New Sprout
Gina K Designs Hello Sunshine Stamp Set
Gina K Designs Simple Flowers Stamp Set
Spellbinders Lotus Die
Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge
Martha Stewart Butterfly Punch

This was rather labor intensive and took a couple of days, but it was so much fun to make. Thanks for stopping by - and think spring my friends!!!
