I have made this great project to share with you today.  It's an explosion box for my sweet step daughter, Jenny.  I used Ole, Florals Embellished and Teresa Collins Black and white Imagine Cartridges, plus a few cuts from other carts.  


I printed a 12 x 12 zebra print page from Teresa Collins on white cardstock and I cut a lid from Sweet Tooth Boxes at 7.25 inches on real size.  It fit the Explosion box perfectly.  

For the lid, I cut the donkey Pinata from Ole cut at 2.5 inches. I put the layers together and backed it with some  red ruffled ribbon.



For the inside, I cut a butterfly and a dove from Florals Embellished at 2.75 inches.  the phrase Feliz Cumpleanos from Ole cut at 3 inches.







The cake was a little different. I cut a 2 inch circle and a 3 inch circle and 3 1 inch by 11 inch strips of paper.  It was a lot of trial and error, but I created a pretty fun cake with a small storage compartment in the top layer to hold some little earrings. I will refine the directions and do another how to post later.






So, there is my finished project.  I hope you enjoy it.



Mona's project is next. 

And here is the complete line up if you get lost along the way!
