scrap with stardust

#thank you #flowers #fleur Hey papercrafters! I haven't made an explosion box in a while, and I've been wanting to work with Kaisercraft's 'Fleur' collection for a few months now, so here's a project that combines the two! I am more comfortable working with darker colours, so this was a bit of a challenge to work on :) The structure of this explosion box is different to the basic  4x4 inch explosion box  I usually make , there is only one layer (the layer which has 4 x 4 inch panels) and only two of the corners pieces have been cut out.

First things first, gather all your scraps and select 4-5 different patterns of paper. Then cut them up into random shapes. Next step is to get yourself a template to arrange you shards. I used a piece of cardstock that is 5 7/8 x 4 inches. I will eventually place these shards onto a 6 1/8 x 4 1/4 notecard, this will leave a border of 1/8 inch around the shards. Now you can arrange the shards on your template how you like (I like to start from the centre. Having at least 4 different styles allows you to arrange the pieces such that you don't have the same patterned paper shard next to each other. Make sure to temporarily adhere these shards t...
