Explosion Box House





An unusual request for my hubbies work, a brand meeting was being held in an apartment & this set the scene for the day & in turn the invitations. House style invites!
I made an explosion box & then built the roof onto the lid, chimney, gables & the house front using the Design Software for my Cricut machine.
Each invite has a house on the front & back with the person invited as the house name & a little brass brad for the door knob. The curtains are gingham ribbon, each large side folds down to reveal some teaser text, then a little cow stamped image on the medium sides. The scroll is the details of the invite etc.
This was a very challenging project & many hours spent working on them, but it was enjoyable at the same time.
