Welcome to the November, 2018 Blog Hop with Stampin’ Pretty Pals. Holiday cards are done. It’s time to start on gifts and gift wrap. Let the Stampin’ Pretty Pals inspire you with “Anything But A Card” today.
You may be starting the hop here or coming from a previous Pal’s blog. Either way, you’ve come to the right place. You’ll find the the full line-up below to help you move, or “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
For my “Gift” idea, I have CASED a fellow Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator from England. Everyone knows her as Pootles. I have made her small Explosion Box. The box I originally saw was sized for a small candle. I wanted something that someone could give to co-workers or as a Host Thank You, etc. So I resized it just a tad to fit a K Cup. Here is my version. There are several photos from different angles.

I just love this idea! Pootles had several different sizes of explosion boxes in her YouTube library if you are interested in making them. I will give you the directions for this one below.
The designer series paper I used on the box is the gorgeous Frosted Floral Designer Series Paper from the Holiday Catalog. It has a pearly sheen to it. The photo doesn’t do it justice. In fact, the sheen is not so great for the photograph.
Thank you for checking on my project today. I hope you like it and if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. I love hearing from you for any reason.
Get more inspiration using the Blog Hop Line-up below. My fellow Pals are excited to show you what they’ve created. Don’t forget to show us some love by commenting on our creations.
