Explosion box with matching card and tag

Hello,

Welcome back....

Today, I have a huge project where I made an explosion box and matching card and tag. To make them, I used pattern paper from Dress my craft - Floral symphony and dies Flower 2 and Floral guitar. Do not forget to follow my blog and stay updated

First I made an explosion box using papers from the paper pack and then decided to make matching card and tag from the same set. I used a 12 x 12 paper pack which was more than enough to make all 3 projects. 

For the sentiments, I used Mudra stamps as they had wonderful sentiment. The girl image used in all projects, are from the paper pack. I fuzzy cut the image from the papers and used them in the projects. There is coordinating motif sheets too available.

EXPLOSION BOX

To make the explosion box, I took 3 sizes of cardstock. Here, I made 3 layer explosion box but it can also be made as one layer or two layer or more than 3 layers too. I had so much fun making them and its so easy to make it and give it out as a gift. 

EXPLOSION BOX LID

For the lid of the box, I took a white cardstock and distresses the edges and added a piece of pattern paper.

I added 2 tags using the rounded tag punch.

Then, I added the image along with a frame circle die cut out of vellum.

I made some flowers using DMC dies and ECD dies. To ink, them I used lawn fawn inks here. 

I added them along with some leaves. I use white leaves so they enhance the flowers. 

I also added some flower pearls and gem stones.

To finish the lid, I added the sentiment along with some pollens. 

EXPLOSION BOX LAYERS

I have 3 layers made for this explosion. Each layer is 1.5 inches smaller than the previous layer. 

I distressed the bases using scissors and and also distressed the pattern papers. If you do not have a tool to distress, use scissors.

I made small pockets to add tags... 

There is enough space to keep a gift in the explosion box.. 

Below is a picture when the layers are closed.

TAGS PLACED IN THE LAYERS

CARD

The card base measures 6 x 6 inch and added a paper that has some word prints on them.

I started layering up the rest of the papers. 

All the papers are distressed using scissors. 

I also added tags here which are also distressed edges. 

I die cut a circle out of vellum and added the girl image. This image is fuzzy cut from one of the pattern papers. 

I then added flowers made using ECD dies and kept the flowers and leaves white. 

I added a sentiment and some gemstone to finish the card. 

CLOSE UP

TAG

I decided to make a tag as well to go along with the box and card. 

The size of the tag is 4 x 6 inches

I used tag punch to make 2 tags and the super cute image card which is available in the paper pack. 

I added the vellum die cut floral guitar. Its a beautiful die set that goes with almost every theme. 

Using dies I made a big flower and a couple of small flowers. The colour of these flowers are matching the colours in the pattern paper. 

I added some pollens, sentiment and gemstones to finish the tag.
