Exploding Boxes Measurements

I had such a great time last night at Kristen's house with all you girls! Thanks for being my guinea pigs for teaching this craft. I am feeling much more confident now!

Thanks for being such a great hostess, Kristen! The PB M & M's were delish! About the Diet Coke though....... :)

I told all my fellow "Papering With A Purpose" girlfriends that I would put the measurements for the cuts for the Exploding Boxes on the blog, so here it goes!

The first layer (that creates the outside walls of the box):
(4) 5X6 inch cuts (score the bottom 1 inch of each of these)
(2) 5X5 inch cuts (all from the same, or coordinating paper)

(4) 4X5 inch cuts (score the bottom 1 inch of each of these)
(1) 4X4 inch cut (this is for the middle layer)

(4) 3X4 inch cuts (score the bottom 1 inch of each of these)
(1) 3X3 inch cut (for the center of the box layer)

(1) 7X7 inch square (for the lid) (score 7/8 inch around all 4 sides of this paper)

Let me know if you need anything else!

They turned out awesome. Sorry I didn't come. Well, actually you should be thanking me for not coming...you have seen some of my "handy work" in the creative area, and it ain't perty!
