50th Birthday Exploding Box

 


This is my design team post over at craftyhazelnutspatternedpaper

I have used a white piece of card and 28.5cm x 28.5cm. I scored the card at 9.5cm and 19cm on both sides resulting in 9 squares. I cut each corner square resulting in a + shape. I cut a scalloped circle with a die from a Xcut nesting set and attached it to a strip of card that I made into a hoop. I die cut the elements to make a paper bow using a Cheery Lynn die. I have cut the numbers using a Tonic die and attached them to the top of the cake using acetate. I covered all panels of the box with paper from a 12x12in pad from The Works. I added the die cut doily design, cut with a Xcut die before attaching the cake. I cut some plastic straws and covered them with paper and satin ribbon before attaching them to the base of my box. I added a strip of card between the straws and then added the bunting with the letters to spell "Happy". I added the "Birthday" on to the base of the box. I cut the letters using a Xcut die. I printed personalised sentiment and die cut them with dies from a oval Presscut nesting set and the sister is cut with a Sue Wilson die.

I made the lid using a 14x14in piece of white card and scored all sides at 2cm. I cut a small slit in the corners of the square and then stuck them together with P.V.A
