Exploding Card - Vintage Pink Rose
With an exploding card, the card itself gets tied with ribbon and when you untie the ribbon the pictures inside "explode" out because of the way they have been folded. Full instructions are on this website - they are very easy to make and once you've made one or two you won't need the instructions. Once made you can then either leave the card "as is" or attach it to the front of a larger card as a 3D topper.
There is no text in the greeting panel to make the card more versatile.

Printed onto 160gsm photo paper. Fastened the backing paper onto a 3 x 12" lime green card as instructed. Folded the 2 main pictures as described in the tutorial on the CUP site. Stuck them to the reverse of the lime green card then scored & folded.
Fastened other side of paper folds to the card using DST. Added an organza ribbon around the card & held it in place with the greeting panel on the back & the 2 smaller pictures on the front.
Looks like a normal card when closed but gives a nice surprise when opened.
I printed out twice onto 160 gram smooth thin card and followed the easy instructions that I printed off. I used the matching backing paper to make my base card.
Once you have done one of these and got used to the folds they are so easy to do, but look so complicated.
This is a great little card that has the WOW factor when opened and will amaze all who recieve it
