St. Patrick’s Day Explosion Box

Even if you are not Irish, it’s still fun to celebrate.  My classes for March were surprised when we made this cute St. Patty’s Day explosion box.  It was a bonus project I added to our class.  Inside holds a Roche chocolate.  Perfect for a little bit of gold.

Instructions:

1. Cut a piece of Cucumber Crush cardstock 5-3/8″ X 5-3/8″.
2. Using the Envelope Punch Board score and punch  the piece at 1-5/8″ and 3-3/4″.  Then follow the score marks around all three sides punching and scoring on lines.
3. Pinch the corners together and score the center of the triangle. Burnish with a bone folder.

6. Cut sides and assemble.  Glue down the second score line inside the box.
7. Tie box in a bow with the Gold ribbon.
8. Stamp a shamrock on a scrap piece of Whisper White and punch out using the 3/4″ circle punch.
