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!

  • Gorgeous Fall Swaps from the Flowerbug’s!

    Today I'm sharing a few of the amazing cards my Flowerbug's Team swapped this weekend.  The theme was Fall cards. 

    Annette made this first one using the Rooted in Nature bundle.

    You may not see it well but she used the leaf dies in this set to create a textured White background.  Her colors are Cinnamon Cider & Rich Razzleberry.  A unique, Asian inspired card!

    Paula made this one using the Autumn Goodness bundle.  It's a fun fold too where the front, middle is the card opening! That piece is 3 3/4" X 8 1/2" folded in half. 

    The pretty designer paper is the Gilded Autumn specialty paper.  This bundle includes dies that cut out the flowers and the wheelbarrow.

    Candace made this one with two stamp sets; the Life is Beautiful for the leaves and greeting and the Way to Goat set for the goat who's kicking up the leaves!  Super fun and colorful!

  • Love of Leaves; get two colors on one stamp!

    I was inspired by a card swap I received to create this pretty card.  It features the Love of Leaves bundle; one of my favorites in the new Stampin' Up! 2020 Holiday Catalog.  there's also a 3/4" strip of the beautiful Plaid Tidings designer paper here which is where the color combination came from. 

    We made this colorful card at my Flowerbug's Team gathering on Saturday.  It features a two toned stamping technique you should really try!  The solid images are perfect for it!

    Can you see the two toned effect on the largest leaf?   It's done like this:  

    • Ink the leaf in Pumpkin Pie (the lightest color of the two).
    • Next use a sponge dauber (can use a sponge too, but it's more difficult to control) and add Rich Razzleberry ink (the darker color) to the edges of the leaf image.  
    • Huff and stamp. Then die-cut with the Stitched Leaves dies. 

    I did the same thing on the long leaf with Crushed Curry & Pumpkin Pie but it isn't showing up as well.

    Other details:

    • White CS is 3 1/2" X 4 3/4" and textured with the Stitched Leaves dies
    • Plaid Tidings DSP is 3/4" X 5 1/4" 
    • Rich Razzleberry main card is 5 1/2" X 8 1/2". 
    • Inks are Rich Razzleberry, Pumpkin Pie and Crushed Curry. 
    • The greeting is punched from the Label Me Lovely punch. I started out with a 1" White strip of card stock.  Stamp the greeting and insert into the punch for a unique shape!
