VIDEO: Stained Glass Technique + Beautiful Day Butterfly Card

I have an amazing team of over 100 demonstrators across the United States. I recently starting doing Virtual Meetings each month and it's been a great way to connect with everyone on my team even through we are hundreds and thousands of miles apart. My card today was inspired by one of my team members, Barb Hopper Preiss, who demonstrated this technique at our last Virtual Meeting. You'll need window sheets, Staz-On Ink, Stampin' Blends, Adhesive Sheets, and Aluminum Foil to do this technique. Make sure to watch the video below to learn how to combine all of these supplies to make this gorgeous card.

Control Freaks Blog Tour: Masculine Fun Fold Cards with Classic Garage

Whether you are coming from the creative and talented Wendy Weixler's blog or just joining us -- welcome to the April 2019 Control Freaks Blog Tour! Our theme this month is For the Men -- Masculine cards for all the men in your life! 

I am excited to share two fun folds with you today! The cards are very similar. The first one is an explosion card and the second one includes a miniature version of the first one INSIDE the card! I'm calling it an Exploding Pop-Up Card.

Here's the Explosion Card closed. I tied a ribbon around the entire card to keep it closed.

 You can see the unique fold as you start to open the card.

 It opens up to the full 8" x 8" square. The scoring measurements are very simple. Score at 4" on each side. Then score on one diagonal. Start by folding the diagonal in half away from you. Open it back up. Then fold on a straight score line toward you. Open it back up and fold on the other straight line toward you. Now the card is primed and ready to fold back on to itself. Use a bone folder to get good creases.

 Check out the inside panel! I used the Embossing Mats with the Garage Gears Thinlit Dies to create this embossed look. The Embossing Mats are retiring, so be sure to get this Big Shot accessory before it's gone!

 Once you've made the Explosion Card, the Exploding Pop Up Card is a piece of cake! Here is the outside of my card. I used the same color scheme as the first card: Tranquil Tide, Basic Black, and Crushed Curry. I love this Classic Garage Designer Paper! It's so easy to make masculine cards with colors that pop!

The inside is just a mini Explosion Card! The inside piece is 4" x 4", scored at 2" from either side and then one diagonal. Use the same folding instructions as above. Collapse the insider piece and glue one side at a time so that the point of the diamond is just inside the center score line.

I am working on a video tutorial to showcase this fun fold card featuring a two more samples, so be sure to come back and visit again!  In the meantime, keep hopping along our blog tour! Your next stop is the incredible Melissa Davies! You'll love what she has created for you!
