Hi Stampers. Yesterday, I showed you how to make an exploding box. You can see that HERE. Today’s exploding box is made using the same measurements, but different colors and this one uses the Fine Art Floral DSP.
Today’s box, while made the same way, has a totally different look from yesterday’s box.
The colors used for this exploding box are Mossy Meadow, Night of Navy and Merry Merlot.
These colors were picked by using the colors used in the Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper.
Which exploding box do your like better? The Hydrangea Hill DSP exploding box yesterday with the pastels or today’s Fine Art Floral DSP exploding box with the jewel tone colors?
Measurements:
12″ x 12″ CS – scored at 4″ & 8″ – 3-3/4″ x 3-3/4″ DSP (4)
11-1/4″ x 11-1/4″ – scored at 3-3/4″ & 7-1/2″ – 3-1/2″ x 3-1/2″ DSP (4)
10-1/2″ x 10-1/2″ – scred at 3-1/2″ & 7″ – 3-1/4″ x 3-1/4″ DSP (4)
Lid: 5-7/8″ x 5-7/8″, scored 7/8″ from each side.

Hi Stampers. Today, I have a 3D project for you – an exploding box. These can be used as a card (lots of places to sign), a photo album (lots of spots to display photos), or a gift box. (Teaser: Tomorrow I have a different one for you).
This exploding box was made using Seaside Spray, Purple Posey and Rococo Rose 12″ x 12″ cardstock. Did you know we still offer 12″ x 12″ cardstock? We do! In all our colors!!
These colors matched the Hydrangea Hill Designer Series Paper beautifully!
Sometime, I make exploding boxes with the pocket that hold things – like this one. Other times, I make an exploding box with layered panels for each of the inside flaps.
The little cards that fit into the pockets can be used to write notes, sign names or attach photos. A 1-1/2″ circle punched out and scored in half makes a great little tab.
I’ve included the measurements below and a video tutorial to show you how this is made. What would you do with an exploding box?
Measurements:
12″ x 12″ CS – scored at 4″ & 8″ – 3-3/4″ x 3-3/4″ DSP (4)
11-1/4″ x 11-1/4″ – scored at 3-3/4″ & 7-1/2″ – 3-1/2″ x 3-1/2″ DSP (4)
10-1/2″ x 10-1/2″ – scred at 3-1/2″ & 7″ – 3-1/4″ x 3-1/4″ DSP (4)

Hi Stampers. Did you get some of that fun Paper Blooms DSP that was part of the Sale-A-Brations offerings? Did you notice that the flowers on that DSP coordinate with the In Bloom stamp set & Pierced Blooms Dies from the January to June Mini Catalog?
When I looked at the Paper Blooms DSP pack, the Rococo Rose popped out at me first. But, look how awesome it looks with the Night of Navy and Daffodil Delight colors! This closure is a tag topper closure and is made using the Delightful Tag Topper Punch (see image below).
Inside the card is a 4-1/4″ x 5″ layer of Basic White CS. The flowers, from the In Bloom stamp set, are stamped in Daffodil Delight ink and the centers are stamped in Night of Navy ink. Using Night of Navy ink, I stamped the sentiment from the Enjoy the Moment stamp set in the center ( where it would be hidden, when the card was closed).
This closure is a tag topper closure and is made using the Delightful Tag Topper Punch (see image). Using paper snips, I cut off the tabs on either side of the tag topper. I scored at the edge of one of the tag topper and then scored the card 4-1/4″ from that edge. The card is tied together with ribbon.
In an attempt to answer questions in the comments, here is a mess of a graphic trying to show where the score lines go. I hope this helps. (I’m out of town at the moment and this was the best I could do without being in my studio).

Hi Stampers. Happy March! Can you believe it?!? The year is flying buy and it’s soon going to be Sweet Ice Cream weather! I’m combined my impatience for the cold weather to go away and my love of this new fold I recently discovered to make this awesome card! You can see my Forever & Always version of this fold HERE and my other Ice Cream Corner version HERE.
To create the corner fold, I created a template by using a 2-3/4″ x 3-1/2″ piece of CS and cutting diagonally and gluing the two together, so it was thicker and sturdier so I can use it over and over again. Using this template, I was able to mark where I wanted to make the score on the cardbase with a pencil and then scored it using my trimmer. For the outside, I used a 4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Basic White CS and a 3-3/4″ x 5″ piece of the Ice Cream Corner DSP. I used the same template to cut off the same corner of the layers that I scored in on the cardbase and adhered them to the card front.
I almost used the Ice Cream Builder Punch to make ice cream cones for the corner, but they didn’t look right. The paper is ice cream “bars” not “cones”. It was pointed out to me by a friend during our Coffee & Cards Zoom meeting (held each Thrusday at 11am MT – and YOU ARE INVITED to join us!), that the Jar Punch is almost the right shape. Using paper snips, I rounded off the top of the jar (or you can use a circle punch) and then made popsicle sticks for the bottom (using the stamp and Crumb Cake CS/ink) and BOOM – Ice Cream bar!
Inside the card is decorated in much the same way, by using a 5-1/4″ x 4″ layer of DSP (on the top) and Basic White (on the bottom). I used the template from above to cut off the corner to get the larger piece. Next, cut 1/4″ off the long side of the triangle for the piece that will fit onto the top up. Using the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set, I stamped the confetti in Granny Apple Green ink and the sentiments in Pool Party ink. The final touch was adding the ice cream cone to the pop up corner. This was made using the Ice Cream Corner DSP and the Ice Cream Builder Punch.

Hi Stampers. Today I have another dinner jacket card for you today. Yesterday’s dinner jacket was ivory – today’s is done in red (Cherry Cobbler). Today’s red dinner jacket also has a little different “cut” to it.
Much like yesterday’s card, the card base is Thick Basic White CS and the “shirt” is constructed first before adding the “jacket”. The red dinner jacket is made from a 4-1/4″ x 5-1/4″ layer of Cherry Cobbler CS with the V die cut out of it using the Suit & Tie Dies. Next, I die cut the lapel, buttons, tie and pockets out of Basic Black CS.
For a slightly different “cut” to the red dinner jacket, I used paper snips to cut down to the bottom of the card from the point of the V and cut the lapel in half in the middle. Next, I attached the lapel and pocket to each side of the jacket. The two halves were then adhered to the card, giving the even border on the sides and overlapping the jacket in the middle. Buttons were added to the top, where it overlapped, so it really looks buttoned shut.
Inside the card is a 4″ x 5-1/4″ layer of Cherry Cobbler followed by a 3-3/4″ x 5″ layer of Basic White. The sentiment, from the Handsomely Suited stamp set, is stamped in Tuxedo Black ink. In keeping with the color scheme, I stamped bow ties, also from the Handsomely Suited stamp set, in upper left and lower right using Cherry Cobbler and Tuxedo Black ink.

Hi Stampers. I’ve been preparing a class by mail using the Handsomely Suited bundle. I was having so much fun playing around I kept going and came up with several cards to share here on my blog. (The cards for the class are exclusive to the class).
This card was very simple to make. It started with a Thick Basic White card base and then I built the Ivory Dinner Jacket on the card front using the Suit & Tie Dies. The shirt had to be built first, by adding the center piece and adding the buttons and the collar.
The jacket is made out of a 4″ x 5-1/4″ layer of Very Vanilla. Using the dies, I die cut the V into that layer and then cut the lapel out of Very Vanilla CS as well. Next, the pocket square was glued to the pocket and then to the suit – before the lapel. The lapel is glued at the bottom and attached with mini stampin’ dimensionals at the top. Basic Black was used for the bow tie and dinner jacket buttons.
Inside the card is another 4″ x 5-1/4″ layer of Very Vanilla with a 1/2″ strip off Cherry Cobbler across the bottom. After attaching it, I thought it looked a bit like a cummerbund. The sentiment is from the Handsomely Suited stamp set and is stamped in Tuxedo Black ink. Wouldn’t this make a great card for a best man at a wedding?
