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!

  • Boho Indigo meets the Rectangular Postage punch!

    The Boho Indigo product medley is beautiful!  Check it out on page 9 of the annual catalog or click here.  

    The medley comes with a whole bunch of products all in one box including stamps, dies, beautiful designer paper in 6 X 6" size, textured card stock, die-cuts, ribbon and paper/bead flowers.  The colors are Misty Moonlight, Night of Navy, Vanilla, White, Garden Green & gold. 

    There's even a refill option (without the stamps, dies & ribbon) but it is on back order until mid July.  It includes the papers and the flowers.  See that here.

    I decided to use the Rectangular Postage punch for a quick, pretty card.  See it here.

    The colors are Misty Moonlight, Seaside Spray & White.  The Misty Moonlight pieces are textured with the Meadow Moments embossing folder. The greetings are from the Fancy Phrases stamp set seen here. I used the Tailored Tag punch for the front greeting.  That delicate flower on the greeting is included in the Product Medley AND the refill for it.

    The new Rainbow Glimmer paper is absolutely amazing! Have you seen it yet?  Click here.

    Many Medallions black Save

    If you like colors, and I mean sparkly, bright colors you need to get some of this Rainbow glimmer paper!  It's on page 153 of the Annual Catalog.  

    Here I used the Many Medallion dies to cut a full sheet of this pretty paper and adhered it to a Black card.  All it needed was a simple greeting (Tasteful Touches set) and bow made with the new Pool Party sheer ribbon!  

    How about another option? 

    Many Medallions white Save

    I used the same strip of this paper for this die-cut; it's just further down on the sheet.  So many beautiful colors in gradient hues.  The greeting is from the Field of Flowers stamp set. 

    Here are both cards side by side.

    Which do you think highlights this beautiful glimmer paper better; white or black?  I was torn so I did one of each.

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

    Gorgeous Posies Welcome cards Save

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

    Gorgeous Posies welcome card 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.
