It’s getting to be that time of year…goblins will appear anywhere so you’d better be prepared to capture them inside this fun and friendly keepsake! Cut Cardstock’s 12 x 12 cardstock comes in a huge variety of colors, but I went with the obvious orange and black for my Halloween Explosion Box.
I’ve created a handy tutorial PDF with all the instructions, plus lots of photos, so you can make these boxes for your friends and family. While they may look complicated, they’re really quite simple to make.
I used some older Karen Foster and Stampin’ Up! patterned Halloween papers, a Nestabilities die and Martha Stewart bat punch, plus some sheer ribbon, tulle, rhinestone stickers, tiny brads and mini metal clips.

What I love about the Pop Tones card stock is how each color has the power to stand on its own and the card stock lends itself to being able to withstand lots of techniques. But I’ve found it’s especially great for ink blending.So for this project, I thought I might try for a monotone…
