We’re making explosion pop-up cards!!

November 23, 2020

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!

I design these cards so all you need are greeting images; this time I featured the Happy Labels stamp set seen here.

Beautifully Happy; a perfect set for some quick cards

February 16, 2023

I needed a bunch of thank you cards for online orders and quickly made this set of cards:

Save

The pretty Beautifully Happy stamp set (Sale-a-Bration and free with a $100 order) is so easy to work with! It has outline images AND coordinating 'fill in' images that make it super simple to add color where you want it. And they're Distinktive images too! This means they give multiple hues of color tones with one stamping. And I love the greetings too.

Save

I used the Good Things cards & envelopes for these cards. They were available last month for Paper Pumpkin subscribers, but they're sold out now. I love using coordinating products! I added a 3" X 5 1/2" piece of Design a Daydream Host DSP to each card. I think the lattice look works wonderfully with this flower image.

Save

The greetings are made with our Double Oval punch; white & Mossy Meadow. You can see this pretty stamp set here.

Remember that if you order $100 this set is free! And if you use a host code below you'll get a free package of Milky Dots in your thank you card.

Awash in Beauty & Dainty Flowers for fast pretty cards!

February 15, 2023

I ran out of thank you cards for online orders and needed some made fast. I reached for our pretty designer papers and made these 11 cards in less than an hour!

Save

Each piece of designer paper is 3" X 5 1/2". I used Dainty Flowers Sale-a-Bration DSP and Awash in Beauty paper from the Annual catalog.

From one sheet of 12 X 12" paper this card design gave me 8 card fronts! They are adhered to the Good Things cards & envelopes. They are unavailable now, but they were an addon product for Paper Pumpkin subscribers in January. *It pays to be a Paper Pumpkin subscriber to get these great add-ons! Get a pre-paid subscription here

I had a bunch of white pre-cut & punched greeting labels and simply stamped the thank you on them (greeting from Thanks a Bunch SAB carrot set). Then I grabbed more 'extra' items I had on my desk and embellished each card. Some have ribbons, punched leaves or flowers and embellishments. It was fun to add on these extras.
