What an Explosion Blog Hop !!!!

 
Welcome to our Explosion Blog Hop. This group of ladies have came up with
different explosion boxes to share with you today.
If you came from Lucy then your on the right track. If you just happen
to stop by my blog please go to Ashley so you can start from the
beginning of the hop and not miss one of these talented ladies.
 
 
 
To start off my post I want to show you my box.
Since Christmas is just around the corner I knew this box would be perfect.  I recently taught a class on how to make this box.

Without the top on.


                                                                                                  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 The ribbon holds the box together when the
top isn't on it.
 

The top

 
Now for the inside. This box is made with only four pieces of 12 x 12 paper.
Three are stacked and the other sheet is use to embellish the inside and to make the top
and bow.
I added a little Christmas tree with presents in the middle square.
 
 
I also added a pocket for adding a gift card or tag.
 
 
I guess I couldn't tell you everything that I used to embellish so here is a small list.
Stickles
Snowflake punch
Washi Tape- Tim Holtz
Glimmer Mist
White doodle pen.
 
 
 

Blog Candy !!!

 
 
I have created a kit with all the paper and directions to make this box. To
Be eligible you need to leave a comment and join my blog.
Easy, peasy !!
I will do a ramdom drawing on Monday morning for the lucky winner.
 
Thanks for stopping by and your next stop is with Haidee.
If you get lost along the way here is the entire line up.
