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!

  • Life is Beautiful card; made from scraps

    Have you ever made a card from the scraps on your work space?  Or maybe you've been inspired by one as a starting point?  Every piece of this card was a scrap! 

    Life is Beautiful Dec 21 Save

    The stamped & layered main image was leftover from a project I was making but didn't like the shape for it.  So it sat in a pile for weeks. 

    The tree & greeting are stamped in Navy ink.  The snowflakes are stamped in Pool Party & Highland Heather. I added a few Snowflake Sequins too.  You can see them here.  They're 50% off right now; while supplies last.  They are perfect for shaker cards too. 

    The Highland Heather rectangles and the Navy strip were in my bag of scraps and the ribbon was an extra too!  Easy peasy! 

    I will sure miss playing with this stamp set when it retires on January 4th.  I'm so sad it's going away!  If you don't have it yet; I hope you order it before it's gone.  Click here to see it in my store; it's just $17! 

    Measurements:

    • Pool Party card 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
    • White 3" X 3 5/8"
    • Navy 3 1/8" X 3 3/4", 3/4" X 5 1/2" strip
    • Highland Heather 2 1/2" X 3 1/2" pieces

    Tomorrow's Facebook Live will feature 2 fun fold cards using this stamp set. Tune in here at 11 am Central Time.
