Exploding Box Card

Have you ever created an exploding box card? I have always had this project in the back of my mind to do for a class. It finally happened for this month’s class.

There were 5 ladies at the class and they did a fabulous job of creating their exploding box card.

Yes, it takes a bit of time but it’s well worth the time and effort.

For this exploding card box, I chose the 2015-17 In colors of Tip Top Taupe and Mint Macron, along with Mossy Meadow, a 2014-16 In Color. All the ladies were happy with their project and there were ohhhs and awwwws once they were finished.

So, I am thinking that you are thinking where are the pictures for the box card. Well, here they are!
