Hello everyone! I hope that you have had a wonderful week. Today I am sharing with you an explosion box. I plan to give this as a gift to my cousin who had recently been away on a family holiday. I have started to add some of the photos that they have shared inside, but I'll share with you how this box is like a mini album.
When you open the box this is your first view. It has three layers, each has a section that has been designed to hold photos.
The first layer has four mini waterfall sections that have magnetic closures.
The first layer also has four side pockets which have tags that have spots for photos an journaling.
The middle section has four pockets that contain a mini book. Each book has a space for four photos.
The final section has four belly bands, with enough room for tags and photos.
Below I have a short video walk through which explains the mechanisms of this explosion box.
Hello everyone! Today I am thrilled to be sharing two projects with you as part of my Design Team Application for round two with Kaisercraft. I have been blessed to have already been part of the Kaisercraft Design Team before, and feel absolutely blessed to be a part of the selection process again. I received a box of goodies which contained a brand new paper collection called Lilac Whisper as well as some flowers and other beautiful products.
When I first had a look at the papers I thought of spring, which then symbolises new life which then leads to flowers and then of course babies. Baby girl? Baby boy? Combine the two - pink + blue = purple! I decided that I would make a card and an exploding box.
To create my card, I used a number of elements from the collectables that accompany the collection. The soft images compliment the papers so beautifully. Below, I have video tutorial which shows how I created my card and also a technique for adapting the paper blooms to create a shabby chic look.
For my second project, I have created an exploding box.
Create a base using whitecardstock. Each square section is 10cm x 10cm.
Cut 5x 9.5cm squares using Hydrangea papers.
Cut 5 x 9.5cm papers using Illusion and Echo papers.
Die cut some doilies using white cards stock and two circles using Illusion and Echo papers. By repeating the use of the papers, it adds a cohesive feel to your design.
Decorate using left over papers that have been used as well as items from the collectables. Have a balance of light and dark on each square. I used the front and back of each paper on each square quite frequently as they coordinate so beautifully together. I also used left over papers from my card, so that both projects complimented each other.
In my design, I placed die cut items on opposite sides and items from the collectables on the other opposite sides to attain balance. In the centre, the baby shoes were created from a printable template using Opal Paper.

Hello everyone. Today I am sharing some projects that I have completed using papers from the Tea Party Collection by Kaisercraft. When
I saw these papers, I immediately imagined tea parties and high tea. This
collection would be perfect to accessories a little girls tea party themed
birthday party.
For my card, I used some Stampin' Up! markers to colour my card. I tried to use some shading to create some light in the centre of the cupcake to add some extra dimension.
For my next project, I created an exploding box (with a surprise) and card set.

Hello everyone! I am so excited as I am the Guest Designer for January inThe Shabby Tea Room. The theme for this week is 'Elegance.' You are asked to create a card/project inspired by the colours in the picture and to include a ribbon and a bow.
For my project, I really wanted to explore the concept
of gift and I wanted to have a go at creating an exploding box. I went on the
internet and found a lovely quotewhich is inside the box.
“I don’t know what’s in the box, but I love it. Unopened gifts
contain hope.”
― Jarod Kintz, This Book Title is Invisible
I continued the gift box theme inside. The template I
used is from Jinky's Crafts. At
first when I saw the inspiration photo I thought the boxes were cakes! Oops!
Never mind, it will be used one day.
I bought some inexpensive ring boxes from a discount store and altered them.
They fit perfectly inside the box. I had some overhead projector sheets which I
cut and attached the butterflies to them using glue dots (this will work with
left over packaging from pearls, rhinestones etc).
The card consists of some die cuts, layered with foam tape to add dimension.
Here are some other close ups of the project/card....
