Dream Pop Explosion Box

I was surfing Pinterest, which I do almost on a daily basis, and found a very cool explosion box.  I knew that I had to make one and decided that my dream pop paper pack was the perfect paper to use.  So first I want to thank Susie McGuire found at creativecafegirl.blogspot.jp for her inspiration. Now for the pictures:

Front cover, my favorite color, with pixie glitter letters.
What happens when the top and bottom are lifted.  I used clear flowers, pink glitter gems, clear sparkles and glitter paper.
The left side opens and shows my patchwork with the raspberry and tangerine cardstock.   I used bakers twine to allow for the card to slip in and out with pictures on both sides.
When the right side opens two more pictures are here with the "sun sign" from the surfs up workshop on the go stamp set.  Stamped on the mint cardstock is a quote from Statements-Poets Everyday Life.
The center flips down revealing a double flap.  First a pocket is visible where I used a zip strip and pink glitter  gems.  This flap opens up to reveal an extra page.
This is what happens what it's flipped up.  I used some flirty accessories and the surf's up stamp set.  This whole piece folds to the right.
The middle has tangerine cardstock which doubles as a flap as well.  It opens and has room for two more photos.  I used the It's your Day stamp set and some more baker's twine on the right.
That flap opens to the left revealing a paper I decorated with circles from all the various  B&T paper.  I used stamps from two previously mentioned.
This flips up to reveal a mini book.  I used the Card Chatter-Focus on a Friend stamp. Inside and on the back there is room for 3 pictures and journaling.  The strap is made with Strawberry cardstock and antique brads.  The bottom is some more patch work with strawberry and Slate cardstock.  I included a pocket to hold two tags.  I used zip strips and sparkles to dress them up.
 The whole thing folds back up into a nice little box that is closed using Velcro.  I love mine and am so excited that I had this wonderful paper to use.  Now I need to go finish up my journaling!

Have a wonderful day,

Amanda
