Exploding Card - Red Cabbage Roses
Beautiful roses which can be used for so many occasions!
With an exploding card, the card itself gets tied with ribbon and when you untie the ribbon the pictures inside "explode" out because of the way they have been folded. Full instructions are on this website - they are very easy to make and once you've made one or two you won't need the instructions. Once made you can then either leave the card "as is" or attach it to the front of a larger card as a 3D topper.

This is an unusual design, but instructions to make this exploding card are on the CUP forum. After printing the design, I folded the two large squares according to the instructions. I attached the front sections using double sided tape, and used a red ribbon to tie the card. There is a place on the back of the card to write a sentiment. When the ribbons are untied there is a pleasant surprise inside the completed card. I will use this design often, and could not resist printing the design again to make a more traditional card. I attached it to a 6 inch square scalloped edge card and added a sentiment.
