Today the design team used any Disney cartridge

Here’s what I came up with my son is going to a birthday party this weekend so a made this for him to take.

i made an explosion box!

The box its self is made from three sheets of 12x 12 papers.

The red layer is 12x12 scored at 4 inches on all side.

The green layer is 11 ¾ x 11 ¾ scored at 4 inches on all side.

The yellow is 11 ½ x 11 ½ scored at 4 inches on all side.

The lid is 7 1/8 x 7 1/8 scored at 1 ½ on all side.

All the characters where cut at 4.00 inches

The 6 was cut a 2 inches, on the candle I used some yellow stickles.

To make the cake I used my nestabilities

I use three sizes the starting with the second from the middle.

Then cut strips ½ inch wide formed a circle and glued it to the circle

Then used some ribbon around the strips.

The mats under the cake I cut the blue one at 3 ½ and the red one at 3

The happy birthday is cut from sweet treats at 2 inches.

For the ears on the lid I also used my circle nestabilitiescut the out two

And layered them together for some stability then hot glued them on

To hide the glue I used a black maker and colored it.

The ovals are also a nestabilties the third from the middle.

Thank you for coming
