Instructions for the explosion card

I pulled these instructions from the video at the link posted in the previous post. They are very rough, but if you use them in conjunction with the video they will make more sense.

Supplies:

1~4x12 plain card stock

3~3 5/8x3 5/8 designer paper

1~2 5/8x2 5/8 designer paper

Embellishments

1. Cut 1 of the 3 5/8 pieces into 8 equal sized triangles. This works best if you line them up point to point on your cutting board.

2. Cut a second 3 5/8 piece into half and then half again. You should end with 2 equal sized triangles.

3. Cut the final 3 5/8 piece at 1 3/4 on your cutting board and then again at 1 3/4 so that you have 2 rectangles.

4. Working with the large card stock piece, score it at 6in and then at 2in on each end.

5. Next take the upper corner and fold it over to where the 6in score is. (Use a bone folder to run along this fold so that it is more crisp.)

6. Repeat previous instruction on other side.

7. Turn the page upside down (so that what was your top is now your bottom) and repeat step 5 to each side of the card stock.

8. Open the folds and flip the paper over. Squish the triangles you just made to make a peak fold.

9. The center triangle should now be over the peaks. Fold the paper forward at the 2 in scores, so that the rectangles are visible.

10. Attach the designer paper pieces and the embellishments. Enjoy!
