Explosion Box

Hi everyon! Here it is! the explosion box I have been working on for the past 2 or 3 days. I made it for a baby shower for one of my cousins. The baby boy is due in about a week. Hope she will be at the shower. lol. This picture shows the top of the box.

This is the front side of the box. I use paper and cardstock I had in my stash; some I purchased at my local Wal-mart. I am working on increasing my paper supply from MemoryWorks. I buy paper from many different sources. The half pearls I purchased at the last crop I attended in Bath, Maine. The ribbon I stole from my jewelry supplies.

I really had fun making this cute keepsake! I looked in every storage container I have to find the embelishments. I have stickers purchased from CM. And stamped images done using CTMH stamps. I used my MS scolloped circle punch and other punched shapes from other punches.

I used a simple technique my CTMH Consultant showed me on this section. (Thanks Sis.)
The section I am refering to is the one with the three stips of paper and the pinwheel. Cutting those three strips and lining them up so they match, but have a small space between them. I think that is so cool!

I used my MS heart punch to do this section of the box and heart stickers from CM.

Most of the embelishments are popped using pop dots. It is hard to see it in these pics. Sorry about that.

The tools I used to create this wonderful box are, Scor-pal (I'm loving it!), Friskers Paper Trimmer, Scissors, and my Glue Glider Pro (I'm loving that too!)

I'm thinking I like making boxes as much as I like making cards. Oh yes, a card! hmm, well I will be making a card to match this explosion box. I guess I will have to post that next. lol

I hope you all enjoyed looking. Thanks for stopping by. God Bless ya! And May all your days be scrap-happy!
