Merry Christmas to You Exploding Box Surprise Kit.Completed by Debbie Louise

Printed onto 160 gsm cream card as i wanted a more vintage look than the crisp white. Cut out all the elements of the kit, assembled the box base and sides and inked around the edges with red. I added the optional side panels on the outside.

I matted the lid part of the box onto the sheet of backing paper within the kit to make it more sturdy. Glittered the ribbon parts of the side panels for the lid, clear heat embossed the jewel part and added a pearl in middle and stuck them on with foam pads. For the triple bow on the lid I heat embossed the black and glittered the red. Used the large poinsettia on the lid and used a gel glitter pen to give it some shimmer and gems in the middle.

I have glittered heat embossed and used glitter pens, pearls and gems throughout the pockets, tags and the inside elements to give the card the added luxury this kit deserves.

Absolutely beautiful kit
