Christmas Explosion Box

Christmas Explosion Box 

 WOW is all I can say!! 

I love how it turned out, but I'm so picky in deciding what to stamp and die cut, etc!!

I used SEVERAL stamp sets and Die Sets to make this Exploding Box

Including:

Poinsettia Petals Bundle

Wishes & Wonders Bundle

Snow Wonder Bundle

Tag Buffet

Banner Year

In The Pines Dies

For Unto Us

Christmas Gleaming

Gift Wrapped & Wrapped in Christmas

OF COURSE, you wouldn't need to use ALL these sets, but I have them, so I thought, why not!!??

I decorated all 4 sides differently!
