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

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!

  • Great way to use the Extraordinary Washi Tape with video

    We made this beautiful card at my February card clubs. It features the Extraordinary Washi Tape from the Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog.

    Save

    Aren’t they pretty? And because the washi tape includes two color combinations (all in one roll) I was able to offer two choices of colors. You can see this pretty Washi tape here.

    Save

    It also has a stamp & die bundle that matches it perfectly. I used only the single die seen here. What I love about this die is it cuts out all of one huge panel of flowers/leaves all at once! It’s a most amazing product, (well named) and incredible that you get 16 gorgeous flowers cut all at once!

    That neat embossing folder on the large Vanilla is called Beautiful Pattern and can be seen here.

    Save

    My colors include Old Olive and Very Vanilla, plus Calypso Coral with Petal Pink and Berry Burst with Fresh Freesia. We wrapped Old Olive twine around the Vanilla layer twice and tied it into a bow to anchor the flowers & greeting.

    The other bundle I used is the Words of Beauty seen here. So many possibilities for greetings in this one.

    Save

    A few other dies used here are theTextured Notes dies seen here (which are retiring but unavailable right now) and the Label Me Grateful dies which just retired.

    I also used the ‘With You in Mind’ stamp set for the inside: A thin 1/4″ strip of matching CS finished it off nicely.
