April 22- Flowers With Watercolors
April 23-Stand By Your Man Explosion Card
April 24-Holidays Candy Holder

Today's Tutorial is by Sue. You can find it here.
You can find the square Explosion Card Tutorial here.

I created three explosion cards for today's hop!
The first one is a simplified square explosion card with no outer layering; I used only the "explosion" as the card base.
 




For this Oldies But Goodies masculine explosion card, I used the 2012 set called Be Wild and Free!  The designer paper is from DCWV Safari 6x4 paper stack.  I used a map from the paper stack for the front of my card and stamped the solid stamps from the set over the map.  For the inside images, I stamped on white cardstock and cut the squares in half on the diagonal to add to the folds of the explosion card.

The second square explosion card follows Sue's square explosion card tutorial using the bottom and top layers to "sandwich" the explosion between.  I again used the Be Wild and Free stamp set.

 
 
My third explosion card uses the A2 sized card base and explosion fold found in Sue's first tutorial link.
 
 
 
For explosion card #3 I used the 2012 Island Life stamp set.

    All three look amazing. I love how well that paper stack works with the MFP stamp set. Well done on the third one too. A guy will certainly enjoy receiving any of these cards.
