Magic Box with matchboxes, Spellbinders and Creatables

I saw an exploding card somewhere on the internet that included a matchbox chest of drawers in the center. I thought I had bookmarked the site, but I can't find it anywhere, and googling Magic Box wasn't any help. Anyway, I thought the idea of adding the chest of drawers to an exploding card sounded like fun, so I tried it. I made the box just like I make the largest exploding boxes, using a 12" square of CS, scoring at 4", but I didn't cut out the corners.

I used Spellbinders dies on the outside, then added Marianne Creatables flowers. I put fast drying glue into the centers of the flowers and added no holes beads.

The top is all Spellbinders, using their carnation die for the flower.

I wanted flowers inside, and expected them to be on the small leaves, but after making everything, I realized that the flowers would have to be on the corners instead because of the way the box folded. It also doesn't lie flat when opened because of the flowers on the outside.

The chest of drawers is made from four small match boxes covered in Anna Griffin striped paper. I painted the ends white, and added green brads for knobs.

Easel Card with Drawers

This is the first time I have made an easel card with matchbox drawers underneath. I painted the drawers blue inside and out, then added paper to the long edges to make them match the background paper, and added brass brads for drawer pulls.

The white card stock is Core'dinations Pearl, and the green is moire paper mounted on card stock with my Xyron. I made the blue patterned paper on my computer.

The dies are Spellbinders, and the 3D flower was in my stash. (Most of my flowers are punched out and in separate pockets in an album). The pearls are Queen & Co. and the ribbon is some I got at JoAnne's. The die cut on the front was outlined with a Sakura Pen Touch, and I used a tiny dab of gold glitter glue in the centers of the flowers.
