Hello! Today I am very excited to show you a project that was inspired by Irina. When I saw her stunning matchbox holder I said to myself that I need to try it too. And here is what I came up with. Of course mine is not as beautiful, but I liked it… Irina helped me with the measurements, I am very thankful for this to her. I also stopped at Kristen’s blog, she has a great tutorial how to do Box with 4 Drawers. Isn’t it is amazing when talented crafters share their talent with others? Thank you Kristen!
For the main character of my card I chose adorable image from La-La Land Crafts – Hot Cocoa Whiskers. Possibilities of this stamp are endless. You can always pretend Whiskers and Chick drink cocoa, tea, coffee, or maybe apple cider. You never know what is in the cup, right?
The layout of the card is Mercy’s Tuesday Sketch challenge. Mercy an her Muses brings so much joy and lots of fun with this challenge! Thank you to all of you!
I have never made Easel card, so it was a good chance to do it. Especially that Crazy4Challenges blog has a challenge – Easel card. You can find wonderful instructions here. They are so easy to follow and I am sure that I will make another card with the same technique.
Matchbox Holder
I also added some zigzag stitching to one of the elements of the card. Then I saw that Krafting Kimmie’s blog has a challenge Stitch It Up… Why now to join it too? Hope I’m not too late for this.
Back Side of The Box
And last but not least Challenge at Three Clovers Designs. This week Kerry has Bird or Bug theme. Do you think baby chicken counts as a bird? I will keep my fingers crossed that it does. 🙂
Wow! That was a long post… Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving me your kind comments.
Remember life is good, no matter what. Of course it would be better if I would have a friend next door to share cup of tea with… But I’m lucky enough to have good blogging friends who are a part of my life!
Enjoy your day,
Elena
Supplies: card stock SU, cereal box as a card board, KI Compnay DP, Hot Cocoa Whiskers from La-L a Land Crafts, sentiment from Verve (Life is Good), another sentiment from The Greeting Farm, ribbon (was in designer package from Irina), dew drops, brads, buttons SU, sewing machine, circle punch
P.S. To make drawers handles I used a brad, then button, and also added a little washer for some heights.

Леночка, работа получилась безупречной! Аккуратненько и вкусно! И большое спасибо за ссылку на МК. Я уже пару раз пыталась изобразить нечто подобное, но из спичечных коробков. Получалось очень плохо, теперь попробую сделать ящички самостоятельно.
