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.

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!

  • Framed Florets card in blues; an easy layout idea

    And the blog issues continue….. If you're looking at this from a phone or tablet you may not see any photos.  But as of yesterday they did show up on a computer.  I hope Typepad figures this out soon!  

    This is one of the cards I demonstrated on last week's FB Live video. Each one features the new Fitting Florets collection of products. 

    Fitting Florets Navy Save

    The card was inspired by the colors in the pretty floral designer paper. I chose Night of Navy, Balmy Blue & Soft Succulent with White.  The oval is from the Framed Florets dies; the flower & leaves are from the Framed Florets bundle. I colored them in with Blends markers.  

    The greeting images are so pretty; I love the mixed font.  

    Fitting Florets Navy both Save

    In the video below, I shared three cards featuring the Framed Florets bundle and the Fitting Florets DSP seen here.  This DSP is a limited time products; available through early January or while supplies last.  It's featured in this month's kit to go seen here.

    Each card is a unique fancy fold; showing off the fun patterns in the Sweetest Christmas designer paper. 

    I have a limited supply of this pre-cut kit as the Adhesive-backed sequins are unavailable right now; luckily I ordered some before they ran out. So be sure to order this ASP if you want it. 

    This kit to go includes the PDF tutorial, the 10 card pre-cut cards kit, a share of the Sweetest Christmas designer paper, green 3/8" ribbon and Adhesive-backed sequins plus 10 envelopes. 

    The PDF tutorial is emailed to you immediately after payment.  It includes photos, step by step directions, measurements and a supplies list.  You'll use the measurements in it to cut your new designer paper; everything else is cut, die-cut or punched for you.

    Here's one of my alternative idea for the Ho Ho Ho kit.  I used one of the die-cut pieces in the kit to sponge snowflakes onto the card base.  Almost all of the rest of it is from the kit!  It's so fun to play with the elements and come up with something new.
