"Exploding" Papercrafts with Angela

Hi Dear Crafty Friends,

It's Angela here today.  Even if I'm half melted by the hot Italian summer, I won't stop crafting with you!

Today, I will show you a kind of exploding box I've made for a wedding of a friend of mine, using the beautiful Serendipity papers. Oh, it's such an inspiring collection!

It has a birdhouse shape, to symbolize the new nest of the newlyweds, and when you open it...

... a flying bird fall down from the roof. The surprising effect is assured! :)

This bird comes from the Serendipity Noteworthy and it's absolutely stunning!

It's tied with an iron string embellished with a few pearls, white and gold.

This is the base when it opens and it has space to contain three photos; probably I'll put some pics taken at the wedding.

The "Happily Ever After" quote is a die, as well as the leaves garland around the nest. Actually, the garland is a square die, but I easily glued it down in a round shape.

At the center I positioned a nest surrounded with a cluster of embellishments. The flowers are stamped and fussy cut, while the butterflies are always from the Noteworthy pack.

A few embellishments on the outside too, around the round window, to complete the birdhouse box and voilà, the exploding birdhouse box is completed!

Thanks for stopping by today and hope you enjoyed the project.

See you soon.

Love,

Angela
