[@maxinethomas9380]

Another AMAZING tutorial Crystal. Thank you. I usually give my adult children money for Christmas. So this year I’m using your gorgeous explosion box to gift their money by inserting it into one of those little pockets. 😊

[@CrystalBest]

Oooo that's a brilliant idea! You can make little mini envelopes for the pockets so the money doesn't show and it's a nice surprise when they open it!!! Be sure to share your results with me when you do it. 😍😍😍😍😍

[@CrystalBest]

Thank you for your kind comment. 👀

@CrystalBest First I'll need to get to where I can visit a Michaels and or JoAnns and or Hobby Lobby.... then there's no stopping me!

[@pennycorwin2684]

Love the explosion box. where can I find the preprinted decoration for inside room ...fireplace, etc.

[@CrystalBest]

Hi there, thank you. I found royalty free photos on the Internet and designed them to scale for the room on Microsoft Word, printed them and then cut them out. ❤️

[@marciainsacto]

I love it, wonder if Gift Cards would fit in the pockets! Will be making one for each grandchild for Christmas! Thank you!

[@CrystalBest]

Gift cards can absolutely fit in those pockets. Very nicely! You could even make a little miniature envelope to put the gift card in in designer paper to coordinate it and when they open is they would be so thrilled!!!! Eeeek I'm excited for you now. Be sure to let me know how your projects turn out! ❤️🎁🎄🎄🎄

[@lizjune2007]

Cute!!☺️

[@CrystalBest]

Thank you Lizzy. ❤️

[@pamtamburello4007]

I love this!! I can't believe how easy you made it look. The tree and packages looked intimidating, but it seems very simple to do. I love creating scenes on cards and am always looking for something new to up my game. This is definitely it!!! I do have a question though... some videos I've watched about scene building suggest that you decorate the walls or background before you assemble and glue. None of these were for a box card. You decorated after you assemble. Do you think it would make a difference in this type of card? It didn't seem to be an issue for you. I might have said this before, but I am so glad I found you and your channel. 🥰 I'll bet that your family and friends love receiving the beautiful things you make.

[@CrystalBest]

Hey Pam! Thanks so much for your awesome comment. I just love reading your comments. 😁😁 To answer your question I find that assembling before allows me to cut my paper perfectly to suit the finished assembled size so there's no background peeking out or any gluing issues like that to deal with. Except for where you must stick something down like with the pockets where I had to decorate the inside first or we wouldn't be able to get it comfortably in there. I hope this answers your question. If you need anything else explained let me know, I'm happy to help. Yes my creations are on desks, bureaus, in kitchens and all over people's houses. I love to see them when I visit. It's just such fun to create for others. My. Mom has all her cards and creations right in her living room and whenever I go it's so sweet to look at. 😍😍😍

[@CrystalBest]

Oh, I'm glad you found my channel too haha its lovely to have you here. ❤️

[@shamagneb]

Impressive box Crystal. Absolutely stunning. what glue do you use?

[@CrystalBest]

Thank you so much. I use Art Glitter Glue. It's truly the best. ❤️
