Assembling the Explosion Box

There are a number of fun Quietfire Explosion Boxes!  Here is how you assemble the Batty Halloween Explosion Box, but it's the same for all of them, with some slight variations.


Cut all the elements in your choice of colours.

Here is the box base and some of the cards.  Keep any small pieces that drop out when cutting!  You can often use them later!

If there is a pocket layer, fold along all perforated score lines and create the pockets with thin strips of adhesive.  Add the cards in the pockets - write little messages on them!

Adhere the pockets layer to the base of the box. Apply adhesive only to the bottom/base of the pockets, not the sides.

Fold the stand up figures along all score lines.  Adhere the corners of the square together by overlapping the base edge.  Close the "ring" and adhere to the inside base of the box.

Fold up the tree (or other free standing element) and adhere back to back with a Glue Dot.

Adhere free standing element to the base of the box, or in this case the black panel.

Adhere this in the middle of the base.

Assemble the lid by folding along the perforated score lines and adhering the tabs.  Decorate as shown in sample photo.

Enjoy!

Assembling the Quietfire Card in a Box!

Although the Card in a Box comes in slightly different configurations, they all assemble pretty much the same way!  They're just too cute!

What makes them really fun is that they fold flat for mailing.  I've created quite a few variations. Here is a small sampling!

These awesome projects look complicated, but they're really simple!  Here is a detailed video tutorial to help you out.  It's for the Halloween box, but it's basically the same for all of them! These are available in the Silhouette Design Store (try filtering for "card").   Happy creating! Suzanne
