Happy Saturday stamping friends!
Welcome to this month's Seashore Stampers' Blog Hop!
This month our group is sharing a paper project that is not a card so that we get to "step outside the box" in a good way. I love creating cards so making something else other than a card required a bit more thought. This is what I came up with:
 |
| Explosion Gift Box |
My share is a version of the Explosion Gift Box you see all over the internet and on other blogs. I really enjoyed making this box and I hope it gives you motivation to create one too! I know seeing all the other lovely box creations motivated me!

For those of you who are DSP lovers, you will notice I used the Delightful Daisy Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up! along with the Bold Butterfly Framelit dies. You can certainly dress up the box using any DPS you have on hand together with other dies and stamps (I actually didn't do any stamping for this project - unusual for me!). There are so many wonderful combination of ideas out on the internet I know you won't run out of inspiration!
Of course, I love bling (who doesn't), and you will see I added lots of Rhinestone Basic Jewels to my gift box. You can also add jewels and bling to the inside of the box but I left my plain (basically because I ran out of rhinestones - note to self: need to order more :) )
Have a wonderful weekend and see you again soon!
P.S. This gift box is for my mom! :)
