Dee Gruenig's fabulous cards do more than just pop out at you...they really explode! These fun and easy-to-make cards are sure to be remembered long after you've sent them.

Materials:

glossy paper, 8-1/2" x 8-1/2"
glue or double-sided tape
double sided glossy card stock folded to 4-1/2" by 6"

Steps:
  1. Using rubber stamps, color copies, drawings, etc., create a design on 8-1/2" x 8-1/2" glossy paper.
  2. Place glossy paper on tabletop, right side up, and fold it in half diagonally. Crease well along the fold.
  3. Unfold the paper and re-fold it diagonally in the opposite direction. Crease well and unfold.
  4. Turn paper over and fold it in half vertically.
  5. Turn the card over again and let the paper collapse into a triangle-shaped base.
  6. Fold all four corners at the base of the triangle into the center.
  7. Unfold these corner folds, then reverse-fold, pushing the fourcorners inside.
  8. Double-check your folded paper to make sure the design is going the right way, and then use glue or double-stick tape to attach your folded design to the inside of the card.
