Hello Friends,
Today it’s an explosion Card. If you like fun fold you will love this one. This one fit in A-2 envelops so a regular size envelop.
I was inspired by Shelby daughter of Sara CEO of Stampin’Up!. Sara hosted a fun afternoon of crafting last month of so live on Facebook with her family. It was so much fun watching the entire family working on different crafting projects. Plus I learn many tips and such.
I have all the measurements, supplies, and the video below. Also after I was done and looking at the card I thought I done that before well I sure did. If you want to see the one I did back in 2016 CLICK HERE. That one it is all layered.
About Shelby Explosion Fold
Shelby shared how to make this fun fold and she added pictures inside. So you could always add pictures instead of the card stock. This would be awesome to send to someone for a special occasion and adding pictures. Like after a wedding and including pictures of the wedding, graduation, retirement party and so on.
Measurements
- Magnolia Lane designer paper 8 x 8 score at 2, 4 and 6 on both sides. Then it is more fold, see the video to do all the folds. The 2, 4 and 6 I did on the scoreboard. Hand cut a few magnolias for decoration.
- Petal Pink 5½ x 4¼, 2-5/8 x 2-5/8 cut diagonal.
- Mossy Meadow 3-7/8 x 1¾ emboss with the Parisian Flourish folder, 4¼ x 1-1/8, 2-5/8 x 2-5/8 cut diagonal.
- Whisper White or Petal Pink 3-7/8 x 3-7/8 inside, 1 x 4-1/8 white fro the greeting upfront.
The beautiful Magnolia Lane designer paper is only available while supplies last, don’t miss out.
In the picture above you can see I added a piece of embossed card stock. This is to keep all the points stay close. If using a wide ribbon then no need for the extra piece of cardstock.
Explosion card open
When you open the card this is how it looks. Very interesting that is for sure. Look so complicated but with the video, I am sure you will see it is not that complicated. Give a try. I suggest doing your first one with just copy paper then you will get the hang of it and dig out your designer paper.
From the past
This is the one that I did way back in 2016. Back then we called it Pee A Boo triangle fold. Click here to view the video and all measurements for this one.
