I read a few blogs on how to create these little wonders and even purchased a cut file from the Silhouette store to get me started. I tweaked the cut file a little to make the box the style and size I wanted. Then cut a practice box to see how it would all go together. First attempt was not bad, just a bit more tweaking of the cut file and I was ready for the real thing.
With a lttle help from Photoshop and the Silhouette program I created a cut file for the cake layers. I had the tabs for gluing on the circular pieces of the cake, I just found it was easier to put together this way.
I used Photoshop again and my trusty Epson printer for the wedding wishes inside the box.
and the finished project...
a couple of butterflies...
a little bit of trim....
One awesomely cute explosion box to wish the newly married couple well. If you have ever wanted to make one... do it!
