Hi! I’m Sara Levin theartfulinker an independent Stampin’ Up! demonstrator from Pennsylvania, US. Welcome to my blog and the Creation Station Blog Hop Anything But a Card. The design team have a selection of fun projects to share! Let’s take a look at the Exploding Box for gifting beverages and the accompanying video that I’ve created for you today!!

Creation Station Anything But a Card

For my anything but a card, I created an Exploding Box for gifting beverages. It’s the perfect size to hold a mini bottle of wine/champagne, bottle of Starbuck’s Frappucino, can of cider or beer, bottle of Pom … you get the idea. It’s the perfect size!!
Oh! And did I say “easy to make”? Well, it is!!

On the lid, I used the Eden Dies. They’re part of the Early Release products from the January – June Mini Catalog. I cut Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen and paired that with some of the Gold 3/8″ Shimmer Ribbon from the July – December Mini Catalog. Psst — it’s still available!!

To decorate the box panels inside and out, I used some of the Ever Eden Specialty Designer Paper. I love foiled papers — well, who doesn’t? And these papers are great now for the holiday season but will be beautiful to use during Spring and Summer as well. They’d also be beautiful for a wedding!! But, they’re only available while supplies last.
