Birthday/Spring Explosion box

One of my supervisor's birthday's was the other day and she has been so excited when I show her videos of these boxes, that I knew I had to make one for her. I bought a paper pad at Walmart last week and I told myself I could only buy it, if I used it for this box. 
I didn't use as much as I thought I would. I love how springy it is.
Here's the box:
And the close-up photos. The outside/lid:
 I used a pink cardstock for the base. The rosette is actually the top of a wand someone gave me, I thought it looked perfect. The flower stickers are from Hollar.com. I used some cloud washi (JoAnn's) for the lip of the box. I lined the outside of the box with this bright cheery flower paper.
First layer:
 Sides:
 I used som scraps from cutting the boxes to layer up the sides. All the middle pieces are from the paper pad. The sentiment stickers are from Dollar Tree.
 This side has a butterfly sticker from the Dollar Tree.
 The butterfly is from the same sticker sheet as the words.
Second lid/box:
The stickers on the top are from a sticker pad from Walmart. I spelled out Happy Birthday around the lip with cut aparts from the paper pad. The sides are covered with striped paper from Hobby Lobby. 
 Sides:
 Again I used scraps from cutting the box layered with cut aparts from the paper pad.


  Third box/lid:
The "happy spring" is a chipboard sticker from Target. These flower stickers are from the same sticker sheet as the ones on the outside lid. I used some sun/cloud paper for the lip of the box and some flower paper from a stash for the sides.
Opened:
 This is the first time I've decorated the middle of the box.
 I wanted a "Happy Birthday" on this layer, so I broke off the top of this flower pic and hot glued it down. I added some tiny Eastery figurines to keep it standing up. The ribbon flowers, both pink ones, are from Hobby Lobby and the blue flowers are from a swap. I love how it turned out, I might start doing this for future boxes.
Sides:
 Again with using the paper scraps to layer up the sides. The stickers are actually from a sticker pad from Hobby Lobby. The 'good times' is from the sticker sheet that was used in the first layer.
 Love this sticker.
 The bottom sticker is from the same sticker pad as the stickers on top of the second lid.
LOVE how it all turned out and my supervisor was pretty happy with it as well. I like doing more seasonal versus birthday boxes. I'm kinda running out of birthday stuff even after stocking up every time I see it.
