Red Poinsettias Shaped Exploding BoxCompleted by Hand Made Finished Cards By Dianne Jackson

I printed all 5 sheets onto Crafty Bob's 200 gram smooth matt card and made up following the easy instructions.

I added the box layers using thin sticky pads and the outer box cover using PVA glue on the base only, keeping the sides loose. (This prevents any pulling) and I find this looks better but everyone finds their own ways..

I cut out all the Poinsettia's beforehand and so I just HAD to use them all so I added them to the sides (optional) and again, it is personal choice.

I just love these Poinsettia's, they are so bright and vibrant.

I used different thickness sticky pads to add the Poinsettia's on the base to give different heights. I used the largest layering Poinsettia on the lid and tucked the tag under. I added red gems to the centre. I did not add any ribbon as it is just beautifull as it is. I know who I am sending this to this Christmas.....someone very special
