An easel box with drawer tutorial using pattern papers!

Hi everyone,
Welcome to the last post of this month. Today is the last day for entering our current challenge 3 2 1 set by our DT Mallika. If you have not submitted your take on the challenge yet, there is still few hours left to enter :) So, do share with us your take on our current challenge.
In the meantime, here is a very easy tutorial to create an easel card box with a drawer.But before I share a tutorial for it here's a look at how the finished project looks like (Please excuse my  photography it's been raining here for past 3 days and there seems to be no good sunlight  hence the dull photography ) :
                                                                       

This is how it looks when closed :

Supplies needed :

1. 2 sheets of A4 size cardstock in any color of your choice. It roughly should measure 8 1/2 * 11 3/4 inches.
2. Your choice of pattern papers. You can either use ONE 12 X 12 inch sheet or TWO 6 X 6 inch sheets of the same pattern.
3. Fiskars Sure Cut paper trimmer.
4. Martha Stewart Scoreboard.
5. Tacky Tape/ Glue of your choice.
6. 2 Brads.

Now for the steps on how to make an easel card box with a drawer :-

1. Cut ONE piece of 6 X 6 inch cardstock and score at 1 inch on all four sides and cut a small slit on all four sides where the two score lines meet as shown in the picture below ( This will form your drawer )                                                                   

2. Now to decorate this drawer cut out EIGHT pieces of pattern paper measuring 3/4 of an inch X 4 inch size pieces and also TWO pieces of pattern paper measuring 4 inches by 4 inches.                                                                    

                                                     
3. Now, to make the band that goes round the drawer cut a piece of cardstock measuring 4 1/8 of an inch X 11 inches and score at 1 1/8 inch , 5 1./4 inch, 6 3/8 inch and 10 1/2 inch.
                                                               

4. Now, cut TWO pieces of pattern  paper measuring 3/4 of an inch X 4 inches. This will go on the sides of the band as shown. 

                                                                  

5. Now, to make the handle of the drawer take a piece of carstock measuring 1/2 inch X 4 inch and score at 1/2 inch on each side of the cardstock as shown in the picture.

                                                                              

6. Now, place your drawer inside the band like this.

                                                            

7. To make the easel part of your card take a  cardstock measuring 4 1/8 of an inch X 8 1/4 of an inch. Score this cardstock at 4 1/8 inch and 6 1/4 inch. This is the easel part to be placed on the top of the box.

                                                                

8. Cut a square piece of cardtsock measuring 4 1/8 inch X 4 1/8 inch and glue this down on the easel part of your card.

                                                        

Glue this square on to the easel part shown above and decorate the card and glue it to the top of the drawer as shown in the picture I have put above.
