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!

  • Thoughtful Blooms; punch art vase & flowers!


    I made this cute, springy card on Facebook Live yesterday.  It features the Thoughtful Blooms stamp set and Small Bloom punch.  Both are free right now with an order during our Sale-a-Bration promotion.  

    That cute vase is made with the Tailored Tag punch.  Punch from patterned paper and cut it in half!

    You can see all of our free products here on the Sale-a-Bration page.  The Thoughtful Blooms stamp set is full of cute floral images and sweet greetings. 

    It coordinates with the Small Bloom punch seen here.  *This punch may return in the annual catalog this summer but you can get it free now! 

    I used a bit of the Brights 6 X 6" designer series paper.  That's where the cute gingham designs come from.  Did you know we have gingham paper in every single color right now?  Each of our 6 color families have an assorted package with every color in the pack!  So cool!  The photo only shows one color but includes them all. See them all here. 

    Details:

    • White stitched rectangle is from the Stitched So Sweetly dies
    • Daffodil layer is 4 1/4" X 3 1/4"
    • main card is White thick card stock 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" 
    • Vase is made with the Tailored Tag punch
    • The greeting is punched with the Classic Label punch
    • the gingham paper is 1" X 2" – 2 pieces; one for the top and one for the bottom.  No waste underneath the layers!

  • Golden Honey Birthday Candles! So cute!


    I saw a card like this online and HAD to make one! I believe the original designer is Libby Fens. Look at this colorful, clever card!

    I wish I'd come up with the idea myself but I cased it.  Sometimes I feel a bit guilty casing from others. But when people case me I take it as a huge compliment. So I get over my guilt pretty quickly! 😉

    The candles are made from the Golden Honey specialty designer paper that was available as part of our Sale-a-Bration offering.  It is now sold out but I know many of you own it already so I thought I'd share the card for you.  Or maybe you own some similar patterned paper you could use instead.

    The candles are about 3/8" wide and 3" tall.  The paper is originally white with gold diagonal dashes.  I colored them in with Blends markers in light and dark of each color.  The colors are Real Red, Flirty Flamingo, Mango Melody, Granny Apple Green, Balmy Blue and Highland Heather.  

    For the flames I punched out a daisy from the Medium Daisy punch in Gold Glimmer paper.  I cut off the petals and adhered them under the top of each candle.  Then I popped up each candle with mini dimensionals.  

    Other Details

    • The Let's Celebrate You greeting is from Bonanza Buddies set on page 34 of the 2020 January-June mini catalog. 
    • The stitched rectangle is from the Stitched so Sweetly dies
    • Granny Apple Green

    Here's a view of the Stitched So Sweetly bundle; it includes a fabulous stamp set and amazing dies.  If you buy it this month you'll earn a free Sale-a-Bration choice!  See it here.
