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!

    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!
     
    Here's my favorite choices:

  • Jar of Flowers Double Flap Fun-fold card with video!

    The Jar of Flowers bundle is pretty neat and easy to create wonderful cards with.  We made these cards at my June card clubs.  It was sooo great getting together with my gals again. North Dakota is open to events again but we are still being cautious too.

    You can really see the details on the card in this close up view.  That neat texture is the Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder.  The colors are Misty Moonlight with Bumblebee and the In Good Taste designer paper. 

    There are sooo many wood, texture and patterns in this big pack of In Good Taste paper.  It is amazing!  Here's a good view of this paper.

    Here's another version of the card using the jar and water image but the flowers are from the Tasteful Touches stamp set.  This card was for those who didn't want to color. We added punched flowers using the Confetti Flowers Border punch seen here.  After punching we added a dot of Navy ink for the centers.

    For this fold all I did was trim off an inch from the card front and add a flap that is hidden by the strip of In Good Taste DSP.  This flap is what the front panel is adhered to. Watch the video below! 

    The cards are finished off with a greeting from the Lovely You bundle – this is one of my favorite bundles!  I love the Pick a Punch and the Lovely You stamp set is full of wonderful greetings. 

     

    Measurements:

    • Bumblebee card 5 1/2" X 7 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
      In Good Taste DSP 1" X 5 1/2"
      White – front and inside 4 1/8" X 3", scrap for greeting is 1/2" wide
      Misty Moonlight 3 1/4" X 4 3/8", flap is 1 3/4" X 3 1/2" scored at 1/2"
