I am so excited to share with you my special project. My oldest daughter turn 16 yesterday and I really wanted to make a fun card capturing her personality! I have always wanted to make an explosion box but honestly, I have been really intimidated by it!!!
Well this was the perfect time to give it a whirl!! I was inspired by a pin on Pinterest showing the box. So I will give credit to CindyLeeBeeDesigns! I do not know why I was so scared to make this in the past, it really came together quite easily. So to make this box, you need 2 pieces of cardstock, one that measures 4 7/8x4 7/8 and one that measures 8 1/4x8 1/4. For complete measurements see below: For my project I used a combination of Stampin Up's Berry Burst, Lemon Lime Twist (both retired) and Bermuda Bay cardstock. For the DSP I used Stampin Up's Picture Perfect and To make the lid use the 47/8x4 7/8 square in Berry Burst and score in 1″ on all four sides Layer the top and sides of the lid with DSP, cardstock or both I used a Bermuda Bay square that measures 2 5/8x2 5/8 and then a layer of DSP that is 2 3/8x2 3/8. On the sides of the box use 4 pieces of cardstock that measure 3/4x2 5/8 And just like Cindy's sample I also used the Stampin Up's Berry Burst 3/8″ Metallic Edged around the sides and finished with a bow. To make the box, I also used Berry Burst Cardstock cut to 8 1/4x8 1/4. Score at 2 3/4 on all 4 sides. Fold the score lines and then cut the 4 corners out. See Image below or refer to Cindy's directions on Pinterest. To create the layers I also used Bermuda Bay Cardstock and DSP. Cut Bermuda Bay to 4 pieces that measure 2 1/2x2 1/2 and then cut the DSP to 4 pieces that measure 2 1/4x2 1/4 and adhere on the outside box. For the layers inside the box I used Lemon Lime Cardstock. I cut 5 pieces that measure 2 1/2x2 1/2 and then 2 pieces of whipser white cardstock that measure 2 1/4x2 1/4x: (5) 2-/1/2″ squares, DSP on two sides with cookie, hats: (2) 2-1/4″ squares, (2) Whisper White 2-1/4″ squares
