Nan birthday exploding box

I was asked to make a card for a Nan and Mam on the same card for a lady that loves cake.

I had this paper pack so I thought an exploding box with a cake in the centre was ideal.

I covered all panels with the cake and tea patterned paper. I die cut various elements to add to the box and made a cake for the centre. I printed to personalised sentiments to add to the box

First Christmas exploding box

I wanted to make something a bit different for a baby first Christmas card. I have made the exploding box using the technique under tutorials on my blog. I have made this box with the two biggest layers. I used patterned paper from a paper pad from The Range. The pad is 10cm x 10cm and called all is bright. I have used various die cuts on each panel. I have left two panels plain to add personalised sentiments at a later date. I have added the train in the centre of the box which is a tree decoration from The Range.
