Hi everyone! I’m back this week with a Christmas themed project using the Stacking Drawer Diecut by Eileen Hull. I am also playing along with Sizzix’s #12DaysofSizzix on Instagram. Each day on Instagram there’s a different theme and today’s theme is “Last Minute Gifts”. There is lots of inspiration being shared each day and the best part there will be prizes. Anyways, let’s get started!

I covered Chipboard with Adhesive Sheets and plain and patterned cardstock on both sides. I cut two “sleeves” out from the Stacking Drawer Diecut.

I glued the “sleeves” together.

I butted the “sleeves” openings against each other. Then, I glued a strip around the center to create an “extra long sleeve”.

I cut two strips of patterned cardstock and wrapped/glued around the “sleeve”.

I cut the circle from the Ornament Box Diecut (retired). I lightly inked it with brown chalk ink. Then, I adhered it to the top of the “sleeve”.

As the same steps as with the “sleeve” I cut two drawers and put those together. A side note, I “peel” the cardstock/chipboard from the tabs. This helps the tabs lay flatter when gluing the bottom into the drawer. I cut two bottoms from cardstock and glue one inside of each box.

I glued the drawers back to back. I measured and cut a piece of cardstock to cover the bottom of the drawers.

I cut out a Santa and all the coordinating pieces from the Doodle Christmas Thinlits. I used an adhesive sheet for the small pieces. It made putting the Santa together so much easier. I also lightly inked areas of the Santa to add a little dimension. I glued the Santa to the top of the “sleeve”.

I cut a few snowflakes from the Doodle Christmas Thinlits. I added them to the “sleeve” along with a gem and enamel dot to the center of each. I finished by adding some clear sequins around the Santa.

I added chocolate to the drawers but it would be great for jewelry and trinkets too. It’s the perfect last minute gift!

If you made one of these matchboxes, what would you put inside of it? Let me know in the comments below.
