Christmas Exploding Box




I have made my first Christmas exploding box. You will find the instructions to make the base of my box on the tutorials page of my blog.

I have covered all the panels, back and front with patterned paper from a book from The Range. I have used various dies to cut elements to put on all the panels. I attached the present (which is also from The Range) in the centre with hot glue.

I would like to enter this creation into the following challenges:
