Product Information

Full details

The We R Memory Keepers Explosion Board is designed for crafters looking to create unique, dimensional "explosion boxes" for gifts, favors, or decorative displays. Its primary benefit is the ability to easily create boxes and lids in seven different nesting sizes, along with decorative heart templates. A potential limitation is that it's best paired with other We R Memory Keepers products for optimal results, and may require some practice to master the folding techniques for the most professional finish.

FAQs

What materials can I use with the Explosion Board?

The board is designed to work with most standard cardstocks and heavier papers. Avoid using very thin paper or materials that are too thick for your cutting tool.

How do I create the "explosion" effect?

The board helps create the box structure. The explosion effect comes from how you design and attach elements to the inside of the box panels, so they spring outwards when the lid is removed.

Can I make custom-sized boxes?

The board provides seven specific nesting sizes. For sizes outside of these options, you would need to use alternative methods or tools.

What are the heart templates for?

The heart templates are used to create decorative corner details on the flaps of the explosion box panels, adding a unique and charming touch.

Is this tool suitable for beginners?

Yes, the tool simplifies the process of creating explosion boxes, making it more accessible for beginners. However, some practice with folding and assembly may be beneficial.

How do I store the Explosion Board?

It is best stored flat in a dry environment to prevent any warping or damage to the scoring lines and cutting guides.

Do I need any special tools with the board?

You will need a cutting tool (like a craft knife or stylus for scoring) and your chosen paper or cardstock. Adhesives and decorative elements are also necessary for completing the project.

Troubleshooting

Uneven folds or creases

Ensure the paper is aligned correctly against the guides on the board and that you are using firm, even pressure when scoring. Check that your cutting tool or stylus is in good condition.

Difficulty cutting cardstock cleanly

Make sure your cutting blade is sharp and properly seated. Try using a slightly lighter weight cardstock or adjusting the pressure if your cutting tool allows.

Box lid doesn't fit the base

Double-check that you are using the corresponding size templates for the box base and lid. Ensure your folds are crisp and accurate for both pieces.

Heart templates don't cut cleanly

Ensure the template is securely placed and the cutting tool is making full contact. For intricate cuts, a craft knife may offer more precision than a standard cutting wheel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Explosion Board requires no assembly. It is ready to use out of the box. Ensure it is placed on a flat, stable surface before use.

Compatibility: While the board is a standalone tool, it is designed to complement other products from We R Memory Keepers. For best results, consider using compatible cardstock, adhesives, and decorative elements from the same brand. It works with standard crafting papers and cardstocks.

Care: To clean the board, wipe it gently with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or submerging the board in water, as this can damage the material and affect its scoring and cutting capabilities. Store the board flat in a dry place to prevent warping.
