If you are wanting to make an awesome explosion card, and keep it simple to make, this is the tutorial for you. The stamping is simple, but the explosion card insert makes it amazing!
It’s quite a surprise when you open this card and see the inside. This explosion card tutorial will teach you how easy it is to make. You can use any products you have; you basically create a card and then add the explosion part to the inside!
The video tutorial teaches you all that you need; you will be an explosion card expert in no time!
Explosion Card Video Tutorial:
You can stamp the front of the card any way that you want. Create a regular card, and then for the inside, add the “explosion mechanism” for something different. The video contains all the instruction you need!
Will you try making this explosion card yourself? Share your thoughts because I love reading them!
Explosion Card Details
Design the front like any other card…
- Crumb Cake – 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″
- Basic White – 4 1/2″ x 3 1/4″
- Black – 4 5/8″ x 3 3/8″
For the inside, explosion card mechanism you will need a 6″ x 6″ piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) or lightweight paper. Cardstock is a bit too thick and heavy.
The video will show you step-by-step how to fold the paper for the inside.
I added (2) squares to the inside that are 2 3/4″ x 2 3/4″
You could step this card up in any way that you want, but I wanted to focus on showing you the explosion fold, so I kept mine simple; plus-I prefer making simple cards!

Jackie,
Is there any chance that Stampin Up would bring back the whale tail punch? There are hundreds of happy crafters who would be over the moon to purchase it.
Thanks so much for your card tutorials. I love them!!!

We currently have a whale punch. You can find it here
Thanks for another great card! Both of those stamp sets you used are on my wish list. I absolutely love your SIP cards! And the DSP paper you chose works with so many stamp sets. ❤️
Thanks for watching, Phyllis! I love creating the SIP cards–great for beginners and those looking for quick and simple cards.
I’ve been looking for a unique idea for a Coffee and Cards class. This is perfect. That you Jackie.
