Explosion ‘Wow’ cards with step by step video tutorial and template.

January 31, 2023

We made explosion cards on Facebook Live Monday night. I host a free class called Stamp with Me Live on the last Monday evening of each month on my FB page here. Be sure to follow me there.

I always upload the video on my NEW YouTube Channel afterwards so even if you're not on Facebook you can watch it later.

I chose to use the Favored Flowers designer paper – it's a free Sale-a-Bration choice right now; while supplies last. You can earn it free with any $50 order from Stampin' Up!. See it here.

The card starts out as a gate-fold fun fold card. Easy enough…. I chose to fussy cut a few flowers & leaves from the pretty DSP to add to my greeting element. The greeting is from the Fitting Florets stamp set. The white stitched circle is from the Stylish Shapes dies. I also added a few Brushed Brass butterflies; love these! They're so dainty and nice & flat.

Here's the inside view of the explosion insert:

I added the layered squares on the diagonally at the center of the explosion piece. Note that this is only adhered on the very outside edge of the inside card. It sort of floats. Please watch the video here to see exactly how it's done. It's quite difficult to explain how this is done in writing.

**I created a free project sheet for this card; Download it here

Below is the template I used for the designer paper explosion layer. You'll start out with a 4" X 8" piece of designer paper and score vertically at 2", 4" and 6". Then score on the diagonal 4 times as shown.

I hope you try making one of these; they're so fun!

I made these cards to send out to everyone who purchased the Starter Kit from me in June.

Save

I used the Gorgeous Posies stamp set (seen here) in Mint Macaron and Calypso Coral. I just love our Distinktive style stamps!!

Save

I stamped the large flower once in full strength Calypso Coral ink, stamped below without reinkining, and then lastly off to the right side. Look at the gorgeous leaves; they are two different images. Both full strength ink but the solid style leaf is the Distinktive style so you get multiple hues of ink with just one stamping. I did stamp the flower center dots image using White Craft ink.

The greeting is from a stamp set only Demonstrators can purchase. The die is from the Tasteful Labels dies.

on the Starter Kit via FB live. click here

I asked my Flowerbug's Team what the best part of being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrators is. I loved hearing their thoughts!

Discounts on stuff I would want to order anyway!
Getting to see and order from new catalogs before everyone else!
Ordering what I want, when I want at a discounted rate and getting hostess goodies.
Social gatherings with friends & meeting new friends is a bonus!
I like that there's no pressure to sell, sell, sell. If you are motivated (and there is support to keep you motivated) the sky is the limit. But if you are in it for the joy of a creative outlet you have support for that too! Supportive upline and peers.
In no particular order: discount, first glance at catalogs, meeting with and creating with new friends, lots of support for taking your business where you want to go.
My favorite perk is discount with early sneak peeks, but I love the friendships made, with the help, support and sharing of ideas amongst each other.

If you have a big wish list and/or place regular orders you should REALLY consider joining my Flowerbug's family so you get a discount off everything you purchase!

The starter kit is only 99.00 and FREE shipping, and you pick out 125.00 in Stampin' Up! product of your choice, PLUS just for June you can add on ANY Bundle for free! That's HUGE!

You also get a FREE Paper Pumpkin kit (valued at $21), free catalogs (8 each of 2 different catalogs) and other business supplies like order forms etc. Look!
