Perfectly ArtisticGreatest Greetings Explosion Box Stampin Up UK Part One

Today I have a super project for you that you can personalise and embellish in your own way

Explosion boxes are super for those special occasions in life, such as a New Baby, or Baby Shower, Wedding Shower, or even made into a combined Memory Box & Album.

The internal size of the box ix a generous 10 cm wide and tall, so it is plenty large enough to contain a gift.

I have split the tutorial over two days as I am sure there are not many of you that have an hour to watch the video in one go.

You can either watch the video below, or view it full screen via my YouTube Channel (just hit the 'share' button on the video below and the video will open up full screen)
