For my project, I created an explosion box. I have been wanting to do this since I made one at last year's Stampede. I used Sweet Tooth Boxes to create my box and lid rather then measuring. Gotta love shortcuts, right?
Materials Used:
- Cricut cartridges Art Philosophy, 3 Birds on Parade & Sweet Tooth Boxes
- My Pink Stamper, Punny-licious stamp set
- Echo Park Playground cardstock
- BoBunny ribbon
- Battery operated tealight candle
- Cardmaking Christmas frosting
- Gimme glam jewels
- Stampin' Up! Crystal Effects
- White Signo gel pen
