Valentine Dresser Box

     I have wanted to make one of these for some time now.  I just had no idea how to make one until now.

 Side view

     I did not create this myself.  I wish I could take that credit, but I cannot.  The idea and tutorial came from Andrea Walford.  She is so talented.  I wish I had half the talent she does.

     Again, I don't have any current Valentine DSP, so I used my paper from last year.  It is a good excuse to use this beautiful paper.  You can make this in any color, using any DSP, for any reason/celebration.  I  also used other retired Stampin' UP! products.  I'm trying very hard to use up my stash.  Hopefully this inspires you to use your stash too.

     Here is the top of the box:

     I used the Letterpress Plate, Pinking Heart Border Punch, and Heart to Heart punch to create the top.

RECIPE:

CARD STOCK:  Pink Pirouette, Cherry Cobbler, & Sending Love DSP (retired)


INK:  Versa Mark


TOOLS:  Big Shot, Matchbox Die, Lots of Love Letterpress Plate, Pinking Hearts Border Punch, Crop-A-Dile (1/8" punch), Heart to Heart Punch Pink Pirouette Corduroy Buttons (retired), Sticky Strip, SNAIL Adhesive, & Paper Trimmer

     You can fill these drawers with candy, trinkets, gift certificates, or any other little surprise you'd like to give someone.  You can also use this little dresser to store small embellishments, (brads, eyelets, and buttons), or any other little items you use often.  Another idea wold be to give this to a little girl for all her prized possessions.  The ideas are endless.

     You can also make this dresser as tall as you wish - with as many drawers as you wish.  Again, the ideas are endless.

Happy Friday!

Butterfly Challenge

     SU! Late Night Stampers Challenge #56--Butterflies.  How could I pass up this challenge?  Well, I couldn't!  I really LOVE butterflies and after a few days thought, I knew exactly what I wanted to make to enter this challenge:

NOTE:  My box has Hershey's Kisses ONLY because I don't currently have any Hershey's Nuggets.  I plan to get Nuggets, and wrap them in SU! paper (to match) and put them in the box.

RECIPE:

CARD STOCK: Pretty In Pink, Regal Rose, Melon Mambo, & Rose Red

INK:  Pretty In Pink, Regal Rose, & Rose Red

SIZZIX DIES: SU! Match Box, SU! Beautiful Wings Embosslit

PUNCH:  5 Petal

TOOLS:  Clear Rhinestone Brad, Glue Dots, SNAIL Adhesive, Stampin' Sponges, Crimper, Bone Folder

     Flower Tutorial Information:  The flower was not my idea.  I CASEd the idea from Juli Buhler.  You can find her tutorial at her BLOG.  Check it out.  It's so easy, and fun to make!

     I hope my project makes you think of spring.  Even though Phil saw his shadow today, and proclaimed 6 more weeks of winter, someone will need to tell that to the robins I saw today.  It's been in the teens for about 1 1/2 weeks now, and it's snowing as I type this, but the robins have decided to migrate to PA in early February.  Maybe they know something that Phil doesn't know?

Happy Tuesday!
