Hello, lovely blogger friend's.
I'm showcasing my project for Swedish House Crafts here as well as on Swedish House Crafts blog.
😊😊😊😊😊
I have made an exploding box using some of the new gorgeous Laserowe Love papers, and chipboards that are now available to buy in store. There is so much to choose from at really great prices. If you've never heard of Laserowe before then I highly recommend that you take a look in store.
I used Neenah desert storm cardstock to make the base, and lid of the box,
Links to the products that I have used on my exploding box can be found at the end of my post.
I decorated each of the panels with Laserowe Love Vintage baby boy complete collection papers.
I die cut five Gummiapan pierced scalloped circles using Neenah desert storm cardstock, and I die cut five Roxstamps pierced round dies using white card. I matted one onto the other, and adhered each one onto the centre of each of the panels with 1mm foam tape.
There is a sheet of nine gorgeous images included inside the paper stack. I cut around four of them, and adhered each one to the centre of each of the circles using 2mm foam tape.
I assembled Laserowe chipboard 3D elephant with pva glue, and painted it completely with black gesso. Once the gesso was dry, I brushed blue wax over the elephant leaving the wheels black. I adhered a large white pearl flatback to the centre of each of the wheels. I attached a length of twine through the elephants trunk, and adhered the elephant to the centre of the box.
To decorate the lid I adhered a Gummiapan stitched square die cut on top of the design paper.
I used Laserowe chipboard elephant toy for the top. I painted the base of elephant in the same way as I did for the 3D elephant. Once dry, I adhered the detailed chipboard elephant onto the base.
The flowers, seam binding that I used to make a bow, and the silver bear charm are from my stash!
There is a gorgeous set of tags included in the paper stack.
I cut around one of the tags, and threaded a length of twine through the eyelet. I adhered the twine underneath the bow, and adhered the bear charm to the centre.
On to the exciting part. I am giving away my exploding box to one lucky person in our Facebook group Swedish House Crafters lounge. Everyone has a chance to win, but first you will need to join our facebook group, and leave a comment mentioning to whom you would like to give the exploding box to or maybe you would like it for yourself?
The giveaway is open for 7 days. After that time we will draw a winner in the Swedish House Crafters lounge group. I will also announce the winner in a short blog post on here. You can find the link to join Swedish House Crafters lounge group below.
