Exposion boxes

[kegrn16]

In the Cricut expressions infomercial, they talk about making "explosion boxes". Does anyone know what that means? Is there a cartridge that helps make them?? Thanks ~

Try searching for "Exploding box"

it's a box that when you take the lid off the sides fall flat as the flaps have been cut off/
looks like a + shape when flat.

Hi Ladies- I know what these boxes are- I just want to know how the Cricut Expression can help you make them as - If anyone has this info- I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks so much!

I guess you could design the cut using Design Studio, it'd just be a bunch of squares merged together, right? But I don't know of a cartridge that has the explosion box built-in.

It'd be nice if the infomercial would have explained a little more!

Try googling "Exploding box" + cricut. I found a few links with some info, looks like they are all using CDS though.

hmmm, as for the box itself, I don't see where an Expression would help much for the box itself. But for cutting flowers or images that you could add, I could see where that would be a big help. Here is my one and only of an exploding box - it was fun and I used my Expression to cut the flowers. The butterfiles are cut out by hand.
