New Baby Exploding Box


        
             
                                    

My first attempt at an exploding box. I really enjoyed doing it. I have used Dovecraft First Edition It's a girl 8x8in paper pack. I have made my box with a pencil, ruler and scissors. I covered all panels with the patterned paper. I have used various dies to cut out  elements to add to the box.

The dies include:

Rattle - Sue Wilson
Duck - Sue Wilson
Dummy - Sue Wilson
Rocking horse - Tattered Lace
Baby Girl - Tonic
Pram - Marianne
Shoes - Marianne
Deer - Marianne
Daughter - Sue Wilson
Heart - Sizzix
Oval - Presscut
Stork - Tonic

I have personalised elements of my box. I have included the parent's name, the baby's name and the baby's weight, date and time of birth.
