Scrap, Travel, and Bark!: Eileen Hull Designs by Sizzix Treasure Box

Here's another vault release from Eileen Hull Designs by Sizzix. This is the Treasure Box and in addition to being a fabulous box on its own, it also works with the Stacking Drawers and Notebook. See how the drawers fit inside the Treasure Box?

I chose to make my box a stand alone, i.e. no drawers.

I put a cute little handle on the front and topped with lots of lovely blooms.

This box is easy to make. Here's how I put mine together.

Step 1:

I cover my matboard with paper before die-cutting. You need to cut 6 pieces as show below. The 2 largest pieces are the box, the thin pieces are the lid, and the 2 rectangles are for top and the bottom of the box. I chose to make my sides 2 different colors.

Step 2:

Put adhesive on all the tabs as shown. I like to use red liner tape as it has a strong hold.

Step 3:

Join the sides together forming a rectangle shaped box.

Step 4:

Then fold the tabs in as shown above and attach the bottom of the box.

Step 5:

Put the top of the box together in the same manner as the bottom. I made my own hinge system for the top. Die-cut another of the long sides of the lid, then cut the tab off one side and cut at the score-line on the other side.

Step 6:

Place red liner tape or your favorite adhesive on the back side of the die-cut. Attach the larger section to the inside of the box and the tab to the box top. You can see the tab on the box top in this photo. I place a floral decorative strip on the other section of the hinge.
