I loved making this box for my friend who has cancer. You maked all the instructions so clear i loved how I learned to fold the hearts I can use a large flower on the corners for mother's day. Thanks Carole
Learned that I'm not the only one getting fingers stuck in the tape; don't place layers to close to score lines; as each layer is added, refold to make sure everything fits. It's beautiful, and you're right it is a rainy day project.
Love this box so much! Perfect for me to make for my granddaughters for a special treat, but I also love the fact that I can make it for any occasion.... birthdays, or just for a special surprise for no particular reason! Thanks for showing us and for sharing it with us!
Your videos are the absolute BEST. I learned that is you put things in is a pile, according to use, it works smoothly. In my books that makes the project fun and not stressful! Thank YOU!
Your instructional video leaves not a question on assembly. I will be making these for mother's day. Such a fun idea. The sewing clips, another tip for successful crafting. Thanks!
I can't wait to take this idea and use it for other holidays and special occasions! Thank you Carole. I especially loved the idea of using the quilting clips to hold things together while they dry.
I love this - plan to make for my daughter who turns 50 this year to give her a birthstone ring to replace the one we gave her for HS graduation. Plus I need a tape gun!!!
I learned you can use the clips for sewing to hold pieces together. I never thought of this. I learned now how to put one together following your easy directions. Can’t wait to make one ❤️
I love how you keep saying which parts are optional. Not only does it let beginners know that not everything is necessary but it reminds people that they can let their imagination flow!
I was a bit intimidated by these but after watching your video no longer am. Although Valentine's day is past I will make my own version of this to make for my Granddaughter. Thank you Carole for all you inspiration to keep us going with projects that some of us would have passed on.
This box makes me want to do more paper crafting. Thanks for your generosity in sharing files with your FB group. Reptile glue is a great liquid adhesive. I've never had it clog.
I learned that you could use the clips for sewing to hold pieces together. Never thought about to use them for paper pieces. I learned to put one together by your easy to follow directions. Can’t wait to make one. ❤️
This explosion box is absolutely adorable! I love the interactive pockets and flaps inside. My mind is full of ideas on how I can decorate mine. I love the small box inside - it’s perfect for little chocolates! Thank you for explaining and demonstrating how to put it together. I’m saving your video so that I can put mine together with you!
Thanks for sharing! I'm new to crafting and this box is something I haven't seen before. I love all the details. I'm going to try to make one of these. My Ninnie (96 yrs old ) who passed in October would had loved this. She loved seeing all the new things I would make.
wow...I never knew that it could be this easy. I definitely want to make this one! I would put some candy inside and maybe a bracelet of hearts that I would make for my grand daughter who is 9 and would absolutely love this! Thanks for showing the whole set up and I hope I win so I can give her my current Cricut and show her all the fun she can do with her very own Cricut!! Yay!♥♥♥♥♥♥
I love love this , so much you can put inside , my mom lives in an old folks home and going to send this to here , as we cant visit her ;( I miss her so much and every valentines I send her something special , since we lost our dad three year. ago
Very pretty explosion box! I love that you showed each assembly step from start to finish that was helpful to me. I can not wait to cut and create mine!
Love how easy you show this could be! The additional tips and tricks you give to make sure beginners like me are able to add their own creativity to the project instead of being stuck follow the pattern to the “T” which is easy to get lost in when not having a lot of experience!
Carole explains everything in such a clear way. Now I want to make an explosion box. This reminded me to use my tape runner, and I learned some new ways to add tape.
I always felt intimidated by this, but this video makes it seem easy. I think that your having each layer's pieces separate makes it seem easier. Anxious to make it now!
Loved watching this. This would be perfect to make for valentine gift, but also as an anniversary gift or for a new baby gift or any celebration of love.And loved watching you put it together.
I am gonna try this for my mom for mothers day. I like how that your videos show it being done and also that they are done on 12x12 mats, so we all have options to use. Thank you!
I am going to try to make this for my husband. This video has taught me how to put it together. Thank you so much for sharing it with everyone! I am sure I will need this video when I put mine together. I definitely learned I need a tape gun!😊
Thank you Carole for this video. Now I know how to properly put pockets in my projects. The tabs are most helpful in making the pockets work right 💚. You are the awesomeness.
I have been wanting to make one of these. I have been extremely intimidated by this project. I have learned that projects that look complicated can really be easy to put together. Thank you for this tutorial. I really appreciate that you put all of your templates on your facebook page for us to use.
Oh Carol everything you make is stunning. I learned that if you love a project you can change an image to one of your own and not have to pay for the image. I am an access subscriber and sometimes there are some projects that are unique and have to pay. I love how you share tidbits to help us crafters be the best we can be. Thank you!
I forgot to mention that I heard a familiar sound in your video near the end that your Amazon package was delivered. My Alexa makes the same sound. Lol
Love this for Valentines, will be making for my grandkids. I have the 12x24 paper and as you said you can print more in one sweep. I love the gift card idea too!
I learned that I may be able to do this! I also learned that I needed to save your turtorial so I can follow it step by step as I make one. I'm excited to finally try one of these boxes
I've always wanted to make one, but was afraid to try. thank you Carole, I can easily come back to your video & do it step by step. love how you explain every detail. 🥰
To this point I’ve been scared to tackle one of these explosion boxes but pretty confident I can do one now. Organizing your pieces seems key and and using your little clip tips and rechecking your box closure along the way will all make a great end product!

My10 year old granddaughter and I made this for her mom! It was so very adorable and made her mom cry when she saw how much consideration and effort was put into making this. Love, love, love it!
I love how you use the quilting clips to hold pieces together. I never thought to use it for paper crafts only fabric. I also love that I can add and delete to customize the project. Thank you Carol
This is so adorable. I could picture a guy putting an engagement ring in the last box. What a surprise that would be.
That's a great idea, the ring in the middle.
I learned to cut all the pieces out first and lay them out in front of you so you can piece together. You make this so much easier to follow!
