It's a new month and that means a new Inspiration Box from:
This month's Inspiration Box is jam-packed full of crafty goodness!
he stamp set has 41 PIECES! And the coordinating die set has
14 PIECES! This kit is so worth the cost!
I decided to make an exploding box for my project. Let me
show you how I made it!
First I die cut my box pieces from Harvest card stock. My die
comes from Spellbinders. Then I put my box together.
I didn't have any paper that looked remotely prehistoric, so I went
on Etsy and found Digitalcollagecafe. They had more than one set
of prehistoric/dino papers. I chose one and went with it! I cut
coordinating papers for all of the flat surfaces of my box.
Next I stamped my images onto coordinating solid card stock. I chose
3 colors - green, orange-red and blue and did my stamping. I stamped
the balloons first. I stamped them once on my background card stock to
give it a base and did some paper piecing with the 3 colors.
I also stamped the dino and the volcano. My green card stock was
on the thin side so I also stamped a piece of the background paper for
the dino so I could back that piece as the dino would have to stand
without much adhesive.
I used the "I Lava You" stamp and stamped a word on each one of the
balloons. Later I went over the letters with a black Gelly Roll Glaze pen
just to make it stand out a bit more. I did minimal coloring on my images.
Some gray Copic markers on the volcano and then glitter pens for the
fire on top and the bits on the dino.
I also stamped some dino footprints around the flaps on the front and
sides. I needed a bit of filler for the box so I printed off another piece
of the digital paper and cut individual pieces out of it.
I adhered all of my elements into place and my exploding box
was finished! What a fun project to create!
Of course, this box collapses flat to fit into an A2 envelope.
What a fun spring kit to play with! Look for this newest
