How neat is that July 30-31

Posted by on

Welcome to the Interactive Hop where things either move, are hidden, pop out, slide,  or who knows....   Your first stop is Monica with Scraps2treasure.blogspot.com followed by a awesome list of crafty ladies.  Scraps2treasure is having an overall grand prize and these are the simple rues: Become a follower, leave a comment at every stop and that's it.

Hopefully you will come away with some new crafty ideas on how to make your cards, layouts or minis more interactive.  The possibilities are endless.... Glad to see you hopping with us.

So my project is an explosion box.  I've never done one before but I've seen a lot of great ones....  So I decided to give it a try....
Outside of the box



Box open






Video of opening the box


I got the instructions from here:

I didn't have time to make the double layers, so I only did one... But I like it anyways!
I did make a little candle cake.  I used one of those battery powered tea lites, and colored it with my copic markers. I wrote Happy Birthday with liquid pearls, and used ribbon with the flowers on it around the candle to make it looked decorated.

I hope you enjoyed my project!
