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!

Gathering Moments swap; I love creating my own paper!

September 4, 2025

Here’s a pretty card I made for one of the online swaps I joined last month:

Save

I used the new Gathering Moments stamp set with the new Traditional Labels dies.

The card stock colors are Lost Lagoon, Timid Tiger and Very Vanilla. Inks are Timid Tiger, Lost Lagoon, Pretty Peacock and Pecan Pie.

After stamping I used a Blending Brush to add Lost Lagoon ink around the edges and on the greeting die-cut too.

I love creating cards for swaps! I find it very relaxing to make multiples of my creations.

Save

You can see this stamp set here. It has a set of dies as well. See the Traditional Labels dies here.

Save

I’ll be sharing many more cards with this pretty new bundle next week.
