Smoochie Squidgy Easel Drawer Card | Stamping Bella

Hi all! Today I am sharing how I made an Easel Drawer Card featuring Smoochie Squidgy It's been a while since I coloured up on the Squidgies, so I dusted off this cutie. 

Supplies:

Smoochie Squidgy rubber stamp set. 

White card

Designer Paper (used - P13 Hello Beautiful)

Scalloped and Stitched circle dies. 

Rectangle dies

Drawer handle

Scoring board and bone folder

Corner rounder

How to:

Stamp the large Smoochie Squidgy and the sentiment onto pieces of white card. Colour the image and fussy cut around the outline. Set aside to work on the box card. 

Cut card:

9.25" x 9.25"

4.25" 11.75"

4.25" x 8.5"

4.25" x 4.25"

4-1/8" x 4-1/8" (x2)

1-1/8" x 4-1/8" (x6)

Designer paper:

4" x 4" (x2)

1" x 4" (x6)

2" x 4-1/8" (x2)

2-1/8" x 4-1/8" (4)

For the drawer wrap, take the piece of card measuring 4.5" x 11.75". Score at 1-5/16", 5-5/8", 6-6/15" and 11.25"

For the drawer insert, take the piece of card measuring 9.25" square and score at 1.25" and 2.5" on all four sides. 

For the easel score the piece of card measuring 4.25" x 8.5" at 4.25" and 6-3/8"

On the 9.5" square piece, cut away the outer three 1.25" sections and cut upward on the remaining one to make tabs. Take a small wedge from each side of them. 

Appy adhesive to the outside of the tabs and then adhere them to the inside of the adjacent sides. 

Apply adhesive to the inside of the outer large tabs and fold into the box. Use a bone folder to burnish well. 

Apply adhesive to the 0.5" end of the 4.5" x 11.75" piece of card and adhere to the opposite end. 

Ensure the box fits inside. It will be a little loose as the decorative layer haven't been added yet. 

Adhere the small strips of paper to the small strips of card and adhere four of them to the sides of the drawer. 

Apply adhesive to the 4.25" section of the easel and adhere to the top of the drawer wrap. 

Adhere the final two strips or card/paper to the sides of the drawer wrap. 

Round the corners of  the bottom top section of the easel and one of the 4-1/8" squares 

Fold the top of the easel on the 6-3/8" score line and apply adhesive only to the bottom 2-1/8" section

Adhere the 4-1/8" piece of card to it. 

Round the corners on the long side one 2" x 4-1/8" piece of paper. Adhere both pieces inside the easel. 

Adhere one of the 4" square pieces of paper to one of the 4-1/8" square pieces of card and adhere to the large section of the easel/drawer wrap.

In the centre of the drawer front (5/8" down and 2-1/8" across) make a small + with a craft knife. Insert the handle 

Adhere the 2-1/8" x 4-1/8" pieces of paper inside the drawer. 

Round the corners on the remaining 4-1/8" square card and 4" square paper, adhere them together and then adhere them to the front of the easel. 

Cut a 4" scalloped circle and a 3.75" stitched circle. Adhere them together and, using foam tape, stick it to the easel front. 

Cut the sentiment using a stitched rectangle die, then ink while the die is in place. Apply foam tape to the back. Push the easel into place then adhere the sentiment in front of it. This will be the stopper for holding the easel open. 

Adhere Smoochie Squidgy to the circle panel, again using foam tape/dots. Add some glitter dots to embellish. 

Fill the drawer with chocolates or a small gift.
