Birthday Themed Magic Explosion Box & A Great News...

 Helloo....

So here is the big news...
I am a new ICR  DT member..Yayyyy..
This is the first time for me ...
I am so excited & looking forward to this new experience..  :)

Now onto my new project... Another Birthday themed Explosion box...

This is for the best friend of my customer ..

She wanted to gift her something unique & personalized...

She wanted something  similar to my sister's explosion box I made last year on her birthday..

But it turned out totally different :)

And I am glad that she loved it... & that's all that matters...  :)

Being appreciated for the time & effort you put into a project to make it that extra special

& bring a smile on the recipient's face...  :)

She wanted a picture on the top of the lid..

When I was working on this explosion box I received some dies that I had ordered few days back...

& as I am very impatient when it comes to playing with my new toys I used it on this project... hehehe..

I used golden mirror board & spellbinder's decorative label 8 to make the frame for the photograph

& the sentiment in front (scroll down for the image).

I used 1 inch dark maroon & 5mm emerald green satin ribbon to decorate the side of the lid..

I used some red glitter glue & emerald green mirror board for the box panels 

Below is the semi-opened explosion box..

Inside the box..

The balloons & party are die cuts..

The banners is made with ribbons..

The panels are punched, embossed, inked & glittered..

The Box in the center is holding something unusual for an explosion box... ;)

Can you guess what's inside.... :)

Its a real chocolate cake covered with dark chocolate & Fondant flowers... :D

hehehe...

My customer wanted to gift her friend a real cake that she can eat...

& she wanted it in the middle of the explosion box instead of a fake paper cake...

It was an unusual request... but still I took the challenge...

The main problem was to pack it so that it won't spoil the paper & arrive safely & without damage to another city via courier....

So I made another mini explosion box inside attached to the main box 

wrapped the cake in cling film & then in bubble wrap..

& put it inside... & tied the lid with a ribbon...

I told you its something unusual... hehehe  :)

Its in transit now... so lets hope it arrives safely...

I will update this post later on to let you guys know if my effort worked or not...

Now its turn for another new die used on this box...

Do you recognize the lacy edge ... ;)

Most of you must have recognized it but for those who want to know the answer... 

It is Cherry Lynn French Pastry Doily... ;)

Adds so much elegance to the lid... :)

I love love love my new dies... :)

Supplies used :

Red Double Sided Tape
