Great Gifts CD Blog Hop!

Today's project is in celebration of the launch of the NEW Great Gifts CD from The Technique Junkie Newsletter! The CD contains 40 paper crafting projects with gifts for all occasions. There are boxes, bags, surprises and even explosions on this CD! The CD is just $14.95 plus postage. A full list of what is on the CD – with pictures of each project – is available http://techniquejunkies.com/great-gifts-cd.html. 

If you started here, you may want to head back to the Design Team blog, so  you can see all of the gorgeous artwork from the beginning. If you arrived here from Shelly Schmidt's blog, you are in the right place! Wasn't all the artwork a treat?

The project I am featuring from the CD is the Wedding Cake Explosion Box. I had seen this box using a die cut for the cake (or square cakes) -- which I don't have --  and I was inspired to create a tutorial for making everything by hand. I love how this turned out! I know I was successful -- my 17 year old son told me it was the "coolest thing I had ever made." Even he loves to close the box and reopen it.  High praise from a boy who hasn't stamped with me since he was seven! 

In any case, when I created the explosion box, I made sure to include a space in the box for adding a check or money, plus a spot to write a personal note to the bride and groom.  And hey, who says this has to be a Wedding Cake? How about making a birthday cake instead?
