Anniversary Explosion Box

Hello! This is an anniversary explosion box that I made recently on order. The client referred to one of my earlier explosion box that I had made and wanted a similar one for her special day. I have improvised a bit on the earlier one by adding additional heart flaps on the four corners and have also changed the layout of the chairs.

Here a quick video of the explosion box.

Thanks for visiting!!

Multifold Keepsake Box

Hello guys. Recently one of my friends asked me to create a keepsake box for her little baby boy. She wanted to keep tiny stuff in the box and at the same time wanted it to be a bit sturdy as well.  The brief was to use bright spring colors and figures to make it look attractive for the baby.

Here is the box that I created. It is a multifold box..... not sure if there is any other specific name for this. It has four cascading compartments to store stuff and it closes neatly into one compact box with lid.

I used small pieces of velcro to fasten the box with straps. The leather looking cover is actually a paper which I got from a local store. It gives a very sophisticated look to the box. When opened it gives a bright and cheerful look with all the fun colors and the foam animals and figures.

Decoupage Mdf Jewellery Box

Hey there! Finally I tried my hand at another big decoupage project. I bought this six compartment mdf box from Craftslane. I wanted to make a jewellery box for myself so I wasn't afraid to experiment with this one. The pink according to me is a bit darker than I wanted it to be. But I guess it doesn't look that bad!! :)

 

 

 

I coated the box with white wood primer, and then painted with pink acrylic paint. Then I pasted the decoupage hydrangea tissue paper design all over the box. I then applied a generous coat of mod modge over it. To embellish it, I dug out these pretty flowers from Itsy Bitsy that I had been hoarding since a long time. The butterfly chipboard embellishment is also from Itsy Bitsy.

 

I created a cluster at the left top corner with a metal fairy charm and loads of pearls.

  

I also liberally stuck two lines of pearl and rhinestone border on all sides of the box.

 

And here it is, filled with all my junk jewellery :) It is also apt for gifting on festivals. You can fill it up with dry fruits or other gifts.

DIY Decoupage Tissue Box 2

Hey there. This is another mdf tissue box that I altered. I first applied a coat of primer on it and then painted with peach acrylic color. I used decoupage tissues to cover the box. Then I embellished it using a mix of flowers, pearls and other embellishments. I also used a mdf sentiment cut-out on the box.

I extended the tissue paper design to the sides of the box. At the bottom edge I applied lace and self adhering peals.

DIY Decoupage Tissue Box1

Hi all.... I have been bitten by the decoupage bug and I am trying my hands at various articles. Today I am sharing a tissue box that I made for my dad's car. 

The mdf tissue box is from Craftslane.  I first applied a coat of primer on it and then painted with peach acrylic color. I used decoupage tissues sent to me by Maninder of Rainbow Craftykari blog. Then I embellished it using a mix of flowers, pearls and metal heart embellishment. For the sides, I have cut out a large oval doily and pasted on the upper part of the box. And for the lower part, I have used Ms Fence punch, and punched out on pattern paper.

Magic Explosion Box - Cake

Hi everyone! I am back with a brand new post today and some happy news!

This is an explosion box that I made few days back. It's a pretty pink box with a cute cake inside. What's interesting about the cake is that the base is a platic scoop that comes with milk/protein powder boxes. I just cut off the handle and covered it neatly with fabric lace, plastic lace and embellished it with fabric roses and pearls/crystals. Easy peasy, isn't it? :)

Magic Explosion Box - Beer Bottles and Cake

I love making explosion boxes and I have made a no. of them in varying themes. One of my client wanted an exploding box for her husband's bday. She wanted me to incorporate beer bottles inside the box along with cake. This itself started ringing a bell in my mind and I began imagining how it would shape up.

Here's a look at the box. I loved the color combo :) How do you like it???

 Top view...

 Let's open the box now..

This is how the box looks from inside... Whole lot of personal messages and cute pics.

I made the beer bottles from old wedding card and some stickers (the golden part). For the beer mugs, I stuck these Pie Lane glasses on brown CS and cut out a cup shape from it. Isn't the square cake so adorable :)

Thanks for dropping by :)

Love theme Magic Explosion Box

Heya. This is a Love theme Magic Explosion Box that I created for ICR's 2nd anniversary GD Blog Hop that is happening today. To know more about the Blog Hop click here.

 These flowers are handmade using circle scallop punch.

A sneak peek inside the box.

 The full view of the box. The center part is inspired by a cozy valentine table setting with a cupcake and flower bouquet on the table. The no. 2 depicts the table no. and also 2 years of togetherness of a couple.

Did you guess how I made those mini table and chairs? I have used the stoppers that come in pizza delivery boxes. I have used doily lace punch to make the edge of the table and for the chair I have used the lattice heart punch. The cute li'l cupcake is made of paper quilling.

 These are the four panels of the box. This one has a cute mini envelope sticker.

 This one has cute li'l cupcakes and a heart.

 Here I have two hearts sticker..

 And then a flower bunch sticker.

 These are the four tags inside the pockets.

Magic Exploding Box - Christmas theme

Hi all. I have been really wanting to share so many projects that I created over last few weeks, but work is really keeping me busy. Also I recently had an Art Exhibiotn in office, where I showcased my stuff. So was partly busy with that as well.

I have missed many of your posts and challenges. Hopefully, will catch up soon.

Today I am sharing a magic explosion box and card made on Christmas theme.

 Here is a look at the box first...

The inside of the box..... is has space to stick photographs and to write messages on small tags in pockets.

The center of the box has a glued gift box with some chipboard gift boxes and snowflakes around it. There is also a tiny Xmas tree that I picked up from the local market.

And here is the card..It is based on a sketch from Clean and Simple Stamping blog.

Hope you like my gift set.

P.S. I have added word verificatio for comments as lately I have been getting lot of spam messages on my blog. If there is any other way to stop that, please do suggest.
