Hi everyone, today I’m sharing these striking Star Explosion Pop-Up Cards. This fun card style is easy to make and no specialty dies are needed to create this unusual shape. These fold down…
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...
Hello stamping friends. Welcome to Funky Folds Blog Hop #3. We are a community for like minded paper crafters who love to make cards with funky/fancy/fun folds and to share our ideas. Funky actually means “modern and stylish in an unconventional or striking way”. We are featuring cards that are not your usual rectangle/square portrait of landscape style cards. Each and every month the blog hops will have and 'anything goes' theme as long as your card has some type of 'funky' fold. I've made for you today a Star Explosion Pop-Up card using products from the beautiful Stampin' Up! Country Woods Suite found in the new 2024 - 2025 Annual Catalogue. I've used the tutorial and measurements from Sam Calcott at Mixed Up Craft. When the card is closed it looks fairly inconspicuous but when you take off the belly band and open the card up that is where the magic happens. Here on the front I've layered Basic White, Pool Party and the Country Woods DSP for the front of the card and then I've used Misty Moonlight for the belly band and added DSP, Ribbon, stamped images and die-cuts using products from the Country Woods Suite. On the inside is a scored centre panel that all folds in neatly together when the card is folded closed. When opened the centre circle piece pops up and stands up a little off the card for that added element and dimension. As well as using the Country Woods DSP I've also adde some of the Country Lace DSP to layer on some of the panels and used more of the products from the Country Woods suite to embellish the inside. I coloured the floral images in using Stampin' Blends Alcohol Markers and used the same floral images on the front as what is on the inside to keep that continuity from the outside to the inside. Stampin' Blends Used Flowers - Light Peach Pie, Light & Dark Petal Pink, Light Summer Splash, Light & Dark Pool Party, Light and Dark Boho Blue, Light Balmy Blue, Light Lemon Lolly Leaves - Light & Dark Mossy Meadow Teapot - Light and Dark Gray Granite I've even added some Basic White Panels on the back for you to write your message. This is such a WOW card when you open it. It's one of those cards that you hand deliver to your best crafting friend just so that you can see their reaction to when they open it. I do hope you like my Funky Fold that I've shared with you today. I just love how it turned out especially with the use of the Country Woods Suite products. This is another amazing suite that I've fallen in love with. Next up is Bronwyn Eastley from Tasmania, Australia with her Funky Fold. I can't wait to see what she has made for us.

Hello my crafty peeps! Just stopping by today to share my latest card. My card today features the new Explosion Pop-Up die. Here is the front of my card. I used the Rectangles-Crosshatch to make my card panel. Using the balloon die from the Explosion Pop-Up. I die cut multiple balloons out of various colors of cardstock and used the stencil feature to add the highlight with a white gel pen. I also die cut balloons out of my panel leaving negative space. Once that was done, I adhered the piece to my card base and then placed the balloons back in the negative space. I have also layers the new Celebrate die to the front of my card. Here is the inside of my card. I have used the explosion part of the die set to cut some lightweight confetti paper. I have also die cut the cupcake from the Cupcake Pop-Up and placed it on the base that comes in the Explosion Pop-Up die set. I have added additional balloons and a sentiment from the Word Set 2 and Word Set 7 die sets. I have also layers some die cuts from the Ovals-Crosshatch die set to allow a place for me to write a greeting. Thanks for stopping by!!! Supplies:
