If you order the Paper Shares through me and you are a cardmaker – what is the quickest way to turn those sheets into lovely cards?

This is the template for cutting your 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper. Cut the long narrow strip first.

Then rotate the paper and make the other two cuts.

The two narrowest cuts for for the inside of the card.

The other two go on the front of the card.

Here is another example of the same cards but different Designer Series Paper – just think of all the lovely cards you can make!

Would you like to make an explosion card and never forget how to do it???

Explosion Cards Made Easy with a Story

I came up with this story many years ago- long before I was doing anything online.

Everyone did the folds while I told my story at countless parties.

I have a couple of YouTube videos on this too – I will connect to those at the bottom of this post just for fun!

This card uses a 6″ x 6″ piece of Designer Series Paper. The base card is a 3-1/2″ x 7″ piece of card stock, scored and folded in half. This is a smaller card but will still work well with a regular size envelope. To make a regular full-sized card, use an 8″ x 8″ square of Designer Series Paper.

We were going camping and stopped to eat along the way. I ate a taco. (triangle fold)

but I didn’t stop at one – I ate another taco. (open and re-fold the other way)

and I was still hungry – so I ate a hot dog! (flip the paper and fold this way)

We finally made it to the camp ground and needed to set up our tent. (Open the fold and poke the center to look like this.

Fold into a tent shape.

After three days of camping with no showers or indoor plumbing, we were so glad to get back to our house. (Fold the corner in to meet in the middle to make a house shape (sides & a roof)

Repeat on the other side.

The house is done but it looks a little tacky with the sides flapping around … so we will just tuck each of them inside.

and the explosion fold is finished. Put adhesive on the top and bottom and put it inside of a card.

So that is the five word story:  Taco, taco, hot dog, tent, house

Karen & Tim Live/Three Fun Folds

If it helps to watch me make this card and tell the story – go to 24:55.

Three years ago I made this video:

Have fun making some explosion cards!!!

Do you ever hate to choose just one side of your Designer Series Paper? Show them both on the same card with this quick & easy card layout. First…

The Designer Series Paper piece is scored at 3/4″at the top and turned down. How easy is that?

Add any sentiment and a bit of ribbon and your card is completed. Here are the measurements:

You will get six cards out of one sheet of 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper using the 4″ width.

If you choose a variety of papers from the same paper pack, you will have a nice mix of coordinated cards to package as gifts.

Change up the Designer Series Paper …

Now let’s change up the look by cutting the Designer Series Paper smaller.

Notice how the color of the base card really stands out. (This Designer Series Paper is scored at 1/2″ and folded over.)

Here are a couple more cards using this layout. (Do you like the upside down flowers?)

By cutting the Designer Series Paper into 3″ wide strips, you will get 12 cards from one sheet of 12 x 12 paper.

And how about even smaller?

You can decide what size you want to use. Add layers by increasing those dimensions 1/4″ on top and side for easy layering.

**Beautiful new Designer Series Papers are coming – so use this idea with some of your current stock and make room for more NEW!!!
