Squash Album Explosion Box Tutorial

Good morning! I have another tutorial for you. This is another design team project for Country Craft Creations using the We Are Memory Keepers Explosion Scoreboard. I made this Squash Album using the board, then created a box to put it in. I am using the adorable paper collection by Echo Park, "Remember the Magic" along with red and black Artisan cardstock, and I love how it turned out. All of the supplies were purchased from Country Craft Creations. countrycraftcr... This would make a great gift!
This tutorial is a little different, I won't be doing all of the patterned paper on it, but I will be showing the construction, how to use the scoreboard for it, and talking you through the process. I have a full example of this project that I show in the video. If you have any questions at all, please let me know. I appreciate your watching, have a glorious day!

These box ideas videos are great. I purchased the explosion box board and am so excited to see some different ways to use it. When I purchased it I thought I may be disappointed and only be able to just do the obvious but your vids have opened a whole new world. So excited for this video now I can make more of your box ideas-keep them coming. Thanks so much-love them all!

I am not a good fussy cutter...so I found that if I folded the heart on the diagonal, I could cut both sides of the heart at the same time. It made my heart even on both sides : )

[@michelleallenacreativeoper6112]

Good tip! Thanks for sharing!

[@marcenamccutcheon6817]

I cannot wait to make this for my new boss’ 40th birthday. I love the bow on the sample box. Do you have directions on how to do this is any video? I haven’t made it through all your videos yet.

[@michelleallenacreativeoper6112]

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you liked the tutorial! I did find this bow idea on Pinterest. Here is the link to the tutorial I followed. survivinglifeshurdles.com/easy-diy-craft-pretty-flower-embellishments/?.com& I hope this helps you!

[@marcenamccutcheon6817]

@@michelleallenacreativeoper6112 this is great! I don’t sew, but I think hot glue would do the trick. Thank you!

[@vadoll70]

Miss Michelle..your tutorials are amazing... I was hoping you would do a tutorial for the explosion tower box using the punch board...I am going to attempt to make it myself...but if you decide to try it...please share with us...

[@michelleallenacreativeoper6112]

I did make one in a coffin shape. The tutorial is here. I can put it on my to do list to recreate it in an octagon shape. Thank you so much for watching!

[@vadoll70]

This is what I came up with so far

[@rusticdivadesign]

I’m loving these explosion box tutorials! I just made one with the gift card holder for a wedding gift. Anyway.... I’m looking for a little help. That cute bow on the cover shown here, I’d love to learn how to make one. Do you have instructions somewhere for that? 😁

Thank you!

[@candacebey9495]

Thank you for such an awesome tutorial. Would you mind sharing the measurements for the various sizes for the chip board?

[@michelleallenacreativeoper6112]

The only chipboard I used was for the covers of the squash album, and they measured 2 at 3 3/4 x 3 3/4. The cardstock to cover them measured 5 3/4 x 5 3/4. Thanks for watching!

Thank you for watching and subscribing! I love doing these tutorials and sharing craftiness! I am using Art Glitter Glue. It is available at Country Craft Creations. It is awesome and I love it. It really is the best glue I've ever used.

[@poupard1000]

Do you offer a cutting guide?

[@michelleallenacreativeoper6112]

It’s all in the video.
