Updated with a different center piece!

Hi Friends, I want to share here a new exploding box project for Christmas which I just made for a client which will be given to friends. I will try enter this card to Simply Create Too Challenge #1 - All About Christmas and Sugar Creek Hollow - Fancy Folds

This is the exterior of the box when closed. I used the stained glass Marta Stewart punch everywhere to 2 different colored cardstock. I added her favorite color using the ribbon and a gem. Just simple since the punched is beautiful.

Now see!!!!! when you open the box and explodes. I really enjoyed making this one.
The 2 panels contains the clients sentiment printed to the same colored cardstock and added gem on top. On the 2 other panels, I have a santa (you can see the next image) colored the hat with red glitter pens and the white part with powder glittered, cut and stick on a tag with brad.

Now the sleigh I used a die {how I wish!} hahaha! I don't have a machine yet so the sleigh was traced then cut. I made the center of the sleigh too. {hahahah} hard work {giggles} then I added some glittered leaves and cherries. Added glitters on the cherries like snow. 


Here is Santa.



Here is another shot of the box.


Here is a different take of the center piece!
