Last week I made an Explosion Box Card for my son’s 18th birthday – OMG! How did that happen?! It is such a fun type of card to make and far easier than it looks. This is another example for using Acetate/Window Sheets so I thought it was a great card to share with you.
It is really easy to adapt the explosion box card to suit your requirements by simply altering the measurements. This size allows two cards from one sheet of A4 cardstock. Where I’ve used balloons, you can use flowers, animals, beer and wine glasses – the options are endless!
This image shows a close up of the Acetate/Window Sheet attached to the card.
I hope you enjoy making this style of card and would love to see your makes. Feel free to post photos on my Facebook Page.
