Cut 2 pcs of chipboard measuring 9”/5”.Score at 4.5” from the longer side. These will be the top and base for the drawer box folded at the scored line for additional support. For left, right and center support panel walls cut 3 pcs 4.5”/ 2 ¾” ,cut 9”/ 2 ¾”,glue these on either side of the longer side of top and base chipboard and the back, leaving the front open space for drawer to slide in.. Fold on the scored line of 4.5” and glue it for additional support of the back wall of the drawer socket. Choose design papers from Camelia Carnation paper collection and cut them smaller by 1/8” inch of the black base to mat and glue over it. Ink the edges with Distress markers and stamp with Archrival’s Watering Can and Magenta Hue inks. Stamp the Fanciful Carnations with Versa fine Black Onyx ink and color with Zig Clean color markers. Make boxes by cutting two 4” squares and four side walls measuring 4”/2.5”. Glue them up. Cut design paper again smaller by 1/8” to mat over these parts. To make drawer pullers cut two strips of black cardstock measuring ¼” by 3.5” and mat over with design paper strip. Make two holes on each side of the strip and on the front panel of each drawer, forming a concave shape of the strip, insert a brad through these holes to attach it to the drawer... Inside the two drawers a partition wall can be made by cutting two design papers and gluing it inside at the base of the drawer. Now adhere the back support wall 9.5”/9” on the box from behind. Place slantly at an angle and adhere the other front panel 6 ¼”/9” matted with design paper on it as seen in the pictures. On the right side make a pocket box using Fleur Borders and Pockets die. In an L shape from the right corner back wall adhere it on its base firmly to hold the mini album.

Adhere it on the Fleur Border Pocket box with double sided foam tape and another one on the back wall. Stamp, color with Zig Clean markers and die cut birds from Songs of Spring stamp and die set. Adhere it on the Coffee Mug to suit the sentiment. Adhere the spoon next to it with a pink twine tied around it.
Stamp with Magenta hue and die cut the Large and Small Carnation flowers. Color these with daubers on both the front and back sides of die cuts using shades of Archival Ink’s shades of Rose Madder, Pink peony, Magenta Hue, Memento Lilac Posies, Violet and Blue Violet. Shape them in the 3D Floral Basics Shaping Mold by spraying some water over it to soften the paper. Pass them in die cutting machine, take them out, shape them further using Flower Shaping Kit, let them dry and glue in the center forming layers. To make anthers, die cut Arianna Blooms Stamens, color them with Yellow and Green shades of Archival Inks, on the tips apply clear glue and adhere Prills to it. Place and adhere it on the flower center. Poke a hole and insert a bunch of thread pollens into it. Make different sizes of flowers.
