Video: Mini Matchbox Drawers

Hi all!  Anyone remeber these cuties?  Little matchbox style boxes, stacked to create a little chest of drawers for goodies….


I made this boxes to be 2″ x 3″, small enough for the recipient to say ‘oh my gosh, cute!’ but practical to add little treats or baubles in each drawer.  I added a little card to fit inside, too.


The box on the right is longer, 2″ x 4″.  I’m using this box for a bracelet for a gift to someone special this holiday.
Here is my video and I’d love to hear if you make one (and what you put inside:)

I had a request to use the BIG leaf dies on a regular card and so glad she suggested it.
I really love how it turned out!  I admit I was suprised to see how big the dies were but they really do make a statement:)

Here is the inside of the card using the other large leaf.  I like the dots!

See everything New HERE
This is a pretty good deal!  
If you want to join SU in October, you can choose from 2 kits.
Option 1:  Choose $189 of products for $99 + your tax + free shipping!
(I think this one would be great for someone who wants the big cutting machine for $140 and then you can still choose $40 more)
Option 2:  Choose $125 in product for only $35 + your tax + free shipping!
This is the one I would go for if I didn’t need the big ticket item.Each kit is giving $90 in product free – crazy!

The great thing about signing up in October is that it is the beginning of the quarter and SU gives new recruits their first quarter free from meeting the $300/Quarter minimum.  So if you needed more time to meet the $300 in orders, you have until the end of the next quarter which is March!
(You don’t have to order the $300 all at once, you can order anytime from Oct – March and it counts:)

There are other perks besides the discount – you also get to preorder products a month ahead of time!

You can get the kit and never place an order, that’s ok!  Or I can show you how to place orders online if you want to keep ordering at a discount.
You can join online HERE 

Tips to help joining go smoothly:

Have all your item numbers ready (you can’t go over the amount and pay extra)
Your name and social sec. # should match
After choosing your kit, you will get your demo ID number and password to login.  Once you login, you can set up your payment info and you will add your checking acct info so SU can deposit $ if you earn it.
You can stop anytime- no penalties to drop out early.

(As I’m typing this, I just realized my greeting fell off of the card on the right:)

Watch my video below for tips on how to use the shaker domes, with or without the dies.

I had a relaxing time creating these tags!
They are easier than cards since they are smaller but I still felt crafty…

a tag can slide into a little pocket on a full size card, too.

Here are a few extra ideas from the SU home office:
