Exploding Card - Teacup Pansies
A vintage image of purple pansies in a pretty teacup with a lilac lace border.
I have left the greeting panel free from text to make the card more versatile.
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.

Fastened the backing paper onto a 3 x 12" lime green card as instructed. Folded the 2 main pictures as described in the tutorial on the CUP site. Stuck them to the reverse of the lime green card then scored & folded. Fastened other side of paper folds to the card using DST. Added an organza ribbon around the card & held it in place with the greeting panel on the back & the 2 smaller pictures on the front. Looks like a normal card when closed but gives a nice surprise when opened.){kind=link}
