Cut it Up 3D Any Holiday challenge

I love making explosion boxes!  They’re so much fun, and so unexpected.  I love to see people’s faces when they open the boxes to find that it’s an album!  On Cut it Up Challenge blog, we were challenged to make a 3D project for any holiday.  Of course, I chose Christmas because it’s right around the corner.

I used lots of pretty paper and left most of the pages plain so there would be plenty of room for pictures and journaling, but I did use several cuts to decorate this album.

Here is a peek inside:

This is the kind of explosion box that does not call for cutting off the corners of the outside layer.  It’s the first one of this kind that I have made.  I like having the extra “pages!”

Here are some closeups of some inside pages:

Lots of cuts from various places –

penguin – Lettering Delights Christmas Express

Christmas Ornaments – My Scrap Chick

Christmas Chocolate – SVGcuts

poinsettias – CutFiles.net

I can’t for the life of me remember where the Santa or the candy cane are from — sorry!! (Edit – just figured out the candy cane – from Treasure Box Designs Freebie Xmas Mouse)

My Scrap Chick, Paper Crafting World, Lettering Delights . . .

Now it’s your turn to link your holiday 3D projects at Cut it Up Challenges for a chance to win this prize:

Don’t forget to use a die cut!
