Snail Mail Explosion Box

Today’s project is an Explosion Box featuring the Snail Mail Suite!

This is a handmade Explosion Box made with the Snail Mail Stampin' Up! product suite and the sentiment says you snailed it.

When you lift the lid, the box “explodes” to reveal an adorable mushroom pen!

How perfect is that?!? I’ve added the Mushroom Pens to my Favorites page HERE. Here’s a top view of the interior of the box:
