Exploding Box

Hello Bestie Pals!

Vicki here today sharing with you this
fun Exploding Box! 

I've been wanting to make an
exploding box forever and finally
gave it a whirl and it was such fun.

For the template for my exploding box

I have used a SVG file from the

Silhouette America store. 

 

I have used 3 different colors of

cardstock for the box.  I pink 12x12, one white

12x12 and one blue 12x12 sheet of cardstock.

 

Once the pieces for the box are cut you fold

each layer at the perforated lines.

I then glued each layer on top of the other to

give it this layered look.

 

The top of the box is cut from a 12x12 sheet of pink cardstock.

 

Once my box was assembled I began to

decorate the outside and the inside

flaps with embellishments from my stash.

 

I then used two different

My Besties printable sheets which I

traced and then cut on my Silhouette machine. 

 

Once I had all the pieces cut I used

3D foam dots to stack different pieces

of the printable to give it a 3D effect.

 

I then used 3D dots on the bottom of each

printable to stick them to the inside bottom

of the box so they would standup.

 

 

Once you have decorated your box you then

fold it up and put the top on the box. 

When you take the top off the box the

sides will fall as if the box were

to explode and reveal what is on the inside.

 

I have used the pocket letter below to cover the

sides on the outside of the box and the top.

 

 

 

 

Below are the two printables that I

have used on the inside center of the box.
