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!

  • Honey Bee Fun Fold-card with Golden Honey paper

    Here's a unique fun fold card that's super easy too!  We made them at my March card clubs.  

    They had a choice of colors, either Pineapple Punch or Lovely Lipstick to go with the Golden Honey specialty designer paper. Unfortunately this gorgeous paper is no longer available; they ran out of it a few weeks ago.  It was free during our Sale-a-Bration promotion that is still happening!  Be sure to get your favorites while supplies last and before March is over!

    On the above card we stamped the hive in Pineapple Punch and added a few die-cut bees and a greeting.   Here's the inside view:

    And below is the Lovely Lipstick version.  Each of the cards uses the Honey Bee bundle seen on page 30 of your January – June mini catalog.  Click here to see it online.  The Detailed Bee dies have been unavailable for a few weeks but I hope they'll be back soon!
