Red and Black Explosion box

My friend's birthday was Wednesday, so I made her an explosion box.
Her favorite colors are black and red, so I used those as the base and added other things to complement them.
The outside:
The sides are this damask paper. The lid is a red plaid that I added the top of a flower pic to it and some red/black washi to the sides.
I apparently don't have a picture of the first layer open, so refer to the video.
 All the backgrounds are the same black/white/red damask paper. I layered some black and then red paper with a flower die cut.
 On this piece I have some black paper with a red sticker that says 'cake', I also have some red paper with a chipboard sticker of a cupcake.
 Again I've layered black and red, this time I added some party hats.
 To mirror the other side I added some black paper and spelled out 'happy birthday' in red sticker letters. I also have some red paper with another chipboard cupcake sticker.
Here's the second box:
 The outside has some black/red/white striped paper. The lid is black paper with another flower die cut. I added a clear sticker on some red paper and added red/black and white present washi to the lip.
Second layer:
 My friend also likes foxes, she said she liked this layer the best. The backgrounds are all pink/black polka dots, I didn't realize they were pink until I started putting it on the paper, it was too late to change by then.
 I added a clear sticker to some black washi and a layered fox sticker.
 I added a clear sticker to some white paper and layered it on black paper with some fox stickers.
 This clear sticker is on the background with a fox and tree sticker.
 This one has another clear sticker on black paper with a fuzzy fox sticker.
Last box:
 The outside of this one has another damask print, but the black is velvety, I was going to put it on the outside, but I didn't want the black to get gross. The lid is red/white polka dots, I added a metal piece to the top and layered black and red washi to the lip.
Last layer:
 The backgrounds are all red/black plaid.
 I added some balloon stickers here.
 This is a really bad picture. I added the clear sticker to some white paper and then on to the background.
 I added a cake sticker here.
And here is another clear sticker I layered on white paper.

Pink and black envelope flipbook

On one of my facebook groups, there was a swap for a pink and black envelope flip book. I chose to make the one that had multiple envelopes for the base. I covered the envelopes with black cardstock and added strips of pink paper with white polka dots to cover the rest of the envelope. I accidentally cut the black pieces too small on the outside so I added some washi to the seams between the envelopes and some more on the top and bottom.
This is what it looks like all folded up:
 Here's what's under the flap:
 The banner is a wooden tag from a swap, the 'hello' is alpha stickers from my stash. The bicycle is a die cut someone sent me.
When you flip this open:
 I made the inside vertical and the outside horizontal.
Close-up of right side:
 I used a lot of journaling cards and then just added embellishments. For this one I added some bling to go with the card.
Close-up of left card:
I didn't add any embellishment to this one.
When you flip it:
Close-up of middle card:
 I added some sparkly foam flowers to this one.
Close-up of left side:
I actually lined the background with some black washi and the background, and then added the journaling card on top.
When you flip it:
 Close-up of third card:
 I added some sparkly heart stickers.
Close-up of last card:
 I just added an envelope with my note in it.
Back of flip book:
 I cut this heart out of a journaling card.
Goodies:
I tried to keep them kinda flat as my flip books never close. Journaling cards, tags, stickers and a bookmark.
I made the second card from the left. The tag base was given to me in a swap, I added the vintage looking sticker and the washi to it.
Here's what my partner sent me:

It's very plain and not very black to go with the pink and black theme. But, it also looks kinda like a clutch that you'd carry with you on a night out. I'm just not excited about it.
