We’re making explosion pop-up cards!!

On my Stamp with Me Live I shared these cards and how easy it is to make an explosion card.  

These cards look pretty ordinary from the front but there's a surprise inside; see below:

Isn't it cool?  And it's super easy to do.  It's a 6" square of designer paper that you fold in halves with a bone folder. No measuring at all!

Here's the template for the explosion card.

Here's a masculine birthday made with the Plaid Tidings designer paper and Many Mates stamp set.

These are so fun to make.  And you can add a bit more fun to the card by adding in some confetti, punched pieces or sequins to the inside.  What a surprise they'll enjoy!

  • Multiple amazing ‘WOW’ cards featuring the Legendary Ride bundle!

    Each month in our Flowerbug's Team a member is featured as 'Artist of the Month' and shows off a bundle or suite of projects.  In February it was Jane and she chose to use the Legendary Ride bundle.  She did an amazing and creative group of cards!

    Take a look at these incredible samples:


    Ready to Ride 3 Jane Save

    Do you see the orange racks holding up the bike?  She used the 'seat' dies to create it.  She also sponged on them a bit so they were 'well used'!  Ha!  

    The background with clouds and the checkered bottom are all from the Ready to Ride DSP.  Look at the detail on her motorcycle!  The dies are incredibly detailed. 

    This next card is a center step card.  It also features multiple pieces of the Ready to Ride designer paper. It's hard to see in the photo but she die-cut the seat from the Black foil in the DSP.  

    Ready to Ride 3 . Save

    She sure made the most of this unique Legendary Ride bundle by Stampin' Up!  You can see it here online. 

    LEGENDARY RIDE BUNDLE (ENGLISH) Save

    This next card features a pocket greeting on the front. You can pull it up and remove it to use as a bookmark. She textured the front panel with the Metal Plate 3D embossing folder seen here.  Perfect texture for this guy card.  

    Ready to Ride 4 Save

    She added color to the Ready to Ride floral paper above using a Sweet Sorbet Blends marker. She really showed off this unique designer paper on her projects.  I LOVE the shiny black foil accents.  See it here.

    READY TO RIDE 12" X 12" (30.5 X 30.5 CM) SPECIALTY DESIGNER SERIES PAPER Save

    Next is a great guy birthday card that doesn't feature a motorcycle at all. She added elements from the He's the Man DSP in the Annual Caalog.  

    Ready to Ride Jane 2 Save

    And last is this neat card with a road map and bike tread with a more colorful bike.  See the Adhesive Backed studs on the upper corners?  They pair wonderful with this suite.  See them here.

  • Sweet Citrus; in a Lime version too!

    The Sweet Citrus bundle can make any citrus fruit you'd like.  I've even seen people make coconuts! 

    I've shared three other cards featuring oranges, grapefruit and lemons but today I'm sharing my 'Lime' version.  

    Sweet Citrus limes Save

    I used the Sweet Citrus bundle seen here and these colors: Starry Sky, Parakeet Party and Granny Apple Green. I cased it from a card made by Maheswari Rajaguru.  I think these colors are stunning together. 

    That pretty texture on the card front is made with the new Basic Embossing Folders 3D seen here.  They're in a 3 pack and in our Online Exclusives product line seen here. 

    Did you know you can use our Hybrid embossing folders to texture and die-cut all at once?  You can use the dies and folder separately as well but together it's faster and saves a step.*Watch in the video below to see how it's done. 

    SWEET CITRUS BUNDLE (ENGLISH) Save

    I also show how to stamp the fruit perfectly using the Stamparatus.  Perfect every time! 

    Here's a photo of the inside:

    Below is a photo of all 4 cards I shared in my recent video featuring the Sweet Citrus bundle. Oranges, limes, grapefruit and lemons!  This bundle is a true gem!
