Hopefully you have arrived here from Kim's Kreations. If you have just stumbled onto this fun hop you can start at the beginning of our crawl HERE. Make sure to check out each DT member's blog! There will be Blog Candy along the way at some of our DT members' blogs, and there will be a Grand Prize up for grabs at FCCB for one participant who submits their own "Red, White & Blue" project at FCCB!
I used Cricut Craft Room to create the box and the layers on the inside. One each f the inside flaps I added some fun red, white, and blue patterned papers from my stash.
I used the star cut and layer from Creative Cards for my added on stars. Before I adhered them to the box I used a Dew Drop stamper to add some blue onto the white paper. I just stamped all around on each star until I was happy with the coverage. I added some fun patterned washi tape around the outside edge of the box as my final touch.
Thanks for hopping along with us today. I would love to hear what you think of my first explosion box. Your next stop on the crawl is
