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!

Lights of Aurora scenic card with project sheet & video tutorial

October 13, 2025
I shared this pretty card on last week’s Live video:

Save

It features the Lights of Aurora suite seen here. I made sure to cute my designer paper at 3″ wide so I could get 2 pieces from each 6″ piece. We made this pretty card at my September card clubs.

Save

Besides the DSP & colors (Balmy Blue & Pool Party) do you notice another difference? Look at the ribbon; I tried a new technique of rolling the Balmy Blue sheer ribbon on the left card. Something different!

Another time saving tip for this card is that I could die-cut two sets of trees at the same time with the extra long die in the bundle seen here:

Save

These sentiments & die-cut are from the Peace on Earth bundle; the leaves are from the Textured Notes set.

Save

Tip; add balance to your card by placing the main layers off to one side and the greeting on the other.
This suite has been really popular with my customers. It’s something special & unique we’ve never had before. See it here.

The PDF tutorial includes all instructions, photos, measurements and supplies needed. You will need assorted greeting images and a few inks too.

Click here to grab the kit to go with extra product for just $30.
