Birthday Explosion Card Box

I found a tutorial online at you tube for this explosion box. I thought it a great surprise for a friends 60th birthday. (Happy 60th Birthday Donna!). Used many cartridges and both the Imagine and Expression machines. Was a lot of fun will do another one after the holidays.

Cocktail Time!

Nifty Fifties Cartridge. I tried to make this card with bling for a friend who like bling. Did I get enough?
The glass was cut at 5.0, phrase at 2.0, black circle at .5 and blue circle at 1.25.

It's getting cold outside!

Even though it is Fall..it's getting cold outside. This card seems to me to have the feel of that. I used the cartridge Enjoy the Seasons, the images on the front of the card are cut at 3.5 and the inside at 2.0.

50th Anniversary Card

50th Anniversary Card. I made this card last week for a friend and her husband's 50th Anniversary. I had just got the Formal Occasion Cartridge and this was a perfect time to use it. I cut out the Tux on page 32 at 2 1/2". The Dress on page 30 (dress9) at 4". I didn't like the flower on the Tux page..it was way too small to handle at 4", so I used the flower on page 28 (dress7) layer 2 cut at 3". I used Winter Wonderland to cut the numbers out. It is my new go to cartridge for letters and number. The black was from the font shadow at 2 1/4",  the green at 2 and the yellow from font at 2". Just got the paper flowers, I really like them. The stamp is from Stampin Up.
