How to Make an Explosion Card

We made this Explosion Card at Club last month and everyone couldn’t get over how easy it was to make.  It doesn’t look easy, but trust me, it really is.  We all want to make easy WOW cards, right?  This is one you need to make.  The only special tool you need is a scorer, which is built right into most Paper Cutters.  I particularly like Stampin’ Up!’s Paper Trimmer.  It’s a great cutter & scorer for only $25.  Depending on the pattern paper you choose, this card can celebrate any occasion.  Vary it up with papers, stamps and colors.  This Explosion Card is definitely a card technique to keep in your repertoire.
