Hi all. This week I'm sharing how I made this Exploding Thank You Card featuring Gnome Doctor and the Work Life Sentiments set. This is a cute little card that can be adapted for any occasion and is perfect for holding a gift card or even a small gift.
Supplies:
White card
Designer paper
Scoring board and bone folder
Pencil & ruler
Stitched circle Dies
How to:
Cut white card:
(1x) 10.5" x 10.5"
(1x) 3.5" x 11.5"
(3x) 3.25" x 3.25"
(1x) 2.75" x 2.75"
(1x) 3" stitched circle
Paper:
(6x) 3.25" x 3.25"
(3x) 3" x 3"
(1x) 2.75" stitched circle
How to:
Score the 10.5" x 10.5" at 3.5" and 7". Flip 90 degrees and score at 3.5" and 7" again. You will have 9 3.5" squares.
Using a paper trimmer or craft knife, cut from the top scorelines, diagonally, to the side scorelines - removing the four corners.
In each of the 4 corner sections, mark the centre with a pencil and score from the where the score lines intersect down to the pencil mark
On one of the 3.5" squares, measure and mark at 1.75" on the edge. Score from each of the corners of the score lines down to the 1.75" mark.
Valley fold all the score lines. Pinch in the sides and fold up the back/front to make the explosion mechanism.
Cut two of the 3.25" squares diagonally, both ways, to make eight triangle shapes.
Make three 3.25" panels for the inside. Adhere the 2.75" piece of card to one of them for the sentiment.
Adhere a paper panel between next to the small tab. If you are using directional paper, ensure it is pointing up towards the tab. Turn the piece 180 degrees and adhere paper to the opposite end, also pointing upwards.
Stamp Gnome Doctor onto white card. Colour using your preferred medium, then fussy cut around the outline.
Adhere the card and paper circles together and then adhere them to the front of the card cover.
