Valentine Explosion Box with lots of Pockets

This box was quite a lot of little extras! All the pockets and things to go in them, it was so much fun to create.  I followed a video on YouTube called Vintage explosion box tutorial.  Her step by step instruction was perfect!  All in centimeters and no voice just good written pictures in the video.  I am going to try to point out and explain the pockets a little bit under each picture.

Outside of box, made an easel to prop up the heart.

Opened, see the next box inside.

First box fully opened, you can see all four flaps with their tuck-ins.

This is with all of the tuck-ins pulled out. starting at 12:00 the pink flap lifts then there is a three layer fold out which zig zags to open. You can put pictures, stickers, write notes, etc.  At 3:00 there are two little note papers to pull out. At 6:00 two more little notes that are folded in half to pull out and it opens to a note area inside. At 9:00 is a little shutter card that has two sides when you open it.

This is the second box opened up showing the 5 additional pockets.

At 12:00 you lift the tab and the heart opens up to a 3 layer pull out note paper. At 3:00 the red band slides off and the envelope opens to expose and little note card to pull out.  At 6:00 is a waterfall card. Slide it sideways and each page opens up.  At 9:00 the 4 curved pieces open up to a note card. lots of places to put notes or pictures etc. available!

This is the center of the box, it opens with three pieces of paper that on the diagonal opens up to a place for four more notes or pictures etc. of your choice.

I loved making this, waiting for some paper to be shipped to make another one!
