I started by choosing the gift card holder project, but then expanded the project to include a card to place the gift card holder in, and ultimately, an 8-inch square 4-drawer box to place the card onto.
I enjoyed the videos for faux stitching (pen tool), embossing, and making pockets, and incorporated all those into my project.
For strength, the entire box/drawers are lined with thick chipboard pieces which were precisely and easily cut with the Pazzles. The frame on the box top is a Monica Bjork cutting file but everything else except for the flowers and their greenery came from the great Pazzles library.
I'm enclosing pictures of 5 elements of the project (box side profile, box top with card, inside of card, gift card holder, inside of gift card holder)
WOW!! this is absolutely stunning!!! I can see this being the next faboulous find. You did an amazing job and I have to agree with vicki you need to sell these .http://angie-scrappinmemories.blogspot.com/

Stunningly beautiful! Very well done- creative and just plan gorgeous! You commented that you used the Pazzles cutting file for the 4 drawer box - but I have not been able to locate it - -- is it in the Craft room library - or the actual Pazzles site library?
Again - so beautiful - - I have something in mind that using some of your ideas would work really well for - - - hope you don't mind me borrowing some of your ideas.

Hi pryzms,
I made all the box components using the Pazzles capabilities after watching the tutorial on making boxes. The decorative elements were what came from the Pazzles library (tags, birdcage, birds, scallop mat). I will check with the Administrators to see if I can post the cutting files for the drawers/drawer covers. Thank you so much for your kind post!
