I am ecstatic to welcome Debbie Mitchell as a guest on our blog today! We all know Debbie since she hangs out with us here almost every day, but now we get to hear from her about her AMAZING papercraft boxes! She mentioned them a few weeks back when we were chatting about our favorite crafts.
Oh my, Ya'll. When I hopped over to Pinterest and her blog and saw what she does I BEGGED her to come on and share with all of us. She graciously agreed, and I'm thrilled.
Before I spoil it by ranting about how cool these boxes are, let's get to it. Here's Chappy.

Hello, my name is Debbie Mitchell, but most people call me Chappy. I've been asked to share my Exploding Picture Boxes with you and I will do my best to show you how to create them. Most of the boxes you find on the internet are mass produced. I create each of my boxes by hand and each one is unique. Even if I use the same theme, such as my Pirate boxes, they each turn out differently in some way. I am going to walk you through my process of creating a box. For your convenience, I am putting the instructions right on the pictures. (click on images to enlarge)
The
first thing you need to do is to decide on the theme....if someone
commissions a box, they tell me the theme and then I come up with some
ideas for them to choose from. In this case, I am choosing the theme
myself. Since Christmas is just around the corner (Yikes!), I've decided
to make a Christmas themed box to give away to one of the commenters
here on this post.
Thanks for joining me today. Make sure and comment below to be put into the drawing to win my Christmas box. (Due to the cost of postage, the giveaway is for US residents only) May God bless you.
How cool is that?! If you have any questions for Debbie, feel free to leave those in the comments.
Chappy, thanks so much for joining us with such a great post and giveaway! What an awesome box!
Good luck, ya'll.
