GIVEAWAY AT CRAFTER'S COMPANION!

It is a super busy week because it is the last week of school. My 5th graders are having a promotion ceremony this evening. My two preschoolers are having their end of year school parties this morning, my 3rd grader is having her awards ceremony this afternoon. And my sister is coming to visit on Friday. And my husband is out of town all week. So it has been crazy around here and will continue to be crazy for a couple more days. So please bear with me.

I took photos of the kids getting on the bus for the last time this year. Here are photos of my two little ones and one of the whole group.

I recently received some new things from Crafter's Companion and I made something with them that I want to share. The things I received are new boards to go on my Crafter's Companion Ultimate Tool. One is called a Boxer and the other is the Envelobox Creator. COOLEST THINGS EVER! They also came with an Advanced Construction Techniques DVD.

I've been having so much fun working my way through all the projects on the DVD. And on Sunday I made this Set of Drawers which is from the advanced section of the DVD.

It took me a little time because there are several parts however it wasn't super hard. You basically use the Boxer to make 4 simple boxes and their holders. You then place them on a 6x6 piece of card stock. (you place them around the edges of the paper) Next you cover them with another 6x6 piece of card stock. I then cut strips of matching paper to glue on the front of each drawer and added a rose for a drawer pull. I lined the drawers with this pp too. Your base is now complete.

I made an Easel card slightly smaller than 6x6 and attached it to the top of the Set of Drawers. I used a Popcorn the Bear stamp from the Crafter's Companion Store and the patterned paper I used was also from them. It was from the Fairyopolis line.

The drawers are the perfect size for gift cards, candy or any number of other fun things.

To finish it off and make my 3d project more professional I used the Envelobox Creator to make an Envelobox to put the Set of Drawers in. The Envelobox is basically an envelope that is shaped deeper and wider than a regular envelope (like a box) so that your 3d projects can fit inside it. This is the simplest thing to do and takes literally a couple of minutes. Everyone needs one of these in the scrap supplies! (really)
