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. 

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! 

Join me here on the 2nd & 4th Mondays at 7:30 pm Central Time.  You can either watch or prep your pieces to create right along with me!  

Here's the video:

  • 3 techniques for the Delicate Dahlia’s stamp set with video


    I featured the Delicate Dahlia's stamp set on Tuesday's FB Live.  This stamp set is free with a $100 order during our Sale-a-Bration promotion happening now.  See it here. There are three pretty cards using different techniques on each. 


    This first technique is called Watercolor Ink Spread. The colors are Magenta Madness & Mango Melody.  I was going for bright & happy colors,

    This technique involves heat embossing an outline image and adding water & ink.  It is recommended to use watercolor paper but it worked fairly well on our Basic White.  However for larger petals or leaves I suggest you use our watercolor paper. Check out the video below for tips. 

     

    This next set of cards is basic 2-step stamping.  In the video I share a helpful tip on lining up two step stamps.  The Stamparatus can be best for most applications but I was stamping all over the panels and did not use it. 

    All of the images are in this beautiful stamp set. The colors on the left card are Coastal Cabana, Black, White & Vellum.  The right is Basic Bray, White, Bumblebee & Vellum. 

    I did use our Black glittered ribbon on both.  I did heat emboss a flower on vellum and fussy cut it. It's colored with Blends markers. 

    And here is the video; I hope you enjoy watching it to get tips on these two sets of cards plus one more on Poppin' Pastels!

  • Beauty of the Earth in Fall colors


    Jacki made this gorgeous fall card for our Team Swap in August. She featured the Beauty of the Earth designer series paper, Banner Year stamp set & the stunning Be Dazzling specialty paper from the Sale-a-Bration catalog. 

    She created a window for the cute pumpkin using Layering Circle dies.  It's popped up on Dimensionals for added effect.  

    I love how she added two thin banners of the Be Dazzling paper under her greeting.  This paper is absolutely amazing.  There is no glitter released and it has so much glitz & shine a little goes a long way!  

    *Tip: this Be Dazzling paper is expected to run out before Sale-a-Bration is over.  So get it now here while you can!  It's FREE with any $50 order. 


    Measurements:

    • Early Espresso 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
    • White 3 3/4" X 5", greeting strip 1/2" X 2 1/4"
    • Pumpkin Pie 3 1/4" x 4 1/2"
    • Beauty of the Earth DSP 3" X 4 1/4"

  • Look at these fabulous swap cards!


    We're continuing the Sale-a-Bration card swap theme. My Flowerbug gals are so talented!  

    This first card is made by Karen and she used a fun 'Floating' technique with the Penguin Playmates designer paper.  You cut strips of paper and adhere them to a window sheet.  Then you pop the whole thing up. The strips look like their floating! 

    This designer paper is one of our Sale-a-Bration choices; it's free with any $50 order through September 30th.  See it here. 

    And here's another cute card made by Candace with the Penguin Playmates DSP and the Penguin Place stamp set. It's a corner latch fold!  These cute penguins are easy to make with this punch bundle.  See it here. 

    Did you notice that even though these cards feature penguins they are not holiday cards?  Love the versatility of both the Sale-a-Bration designer paper and this stamp & punch bundle! 

    Next is Lori's card featuring the Textures & Frames stamp set & Hand-Penned designer paper.  What a fun background she stamped on the upper panel!  She used the colors in the DSP – Daffodil Delight, Soft Succulent & Highland Heather.
