Hi friends, today I’m sharing these pretty and VERY easy Explosion Cards

This style has been around for a long time and I have used it on cards in the past, however, I was sent a request by a lady called Cynthia after she saw a lovely version by Julie Davison and wondered if I could make one. Check out Julies version here.

It’s a great way to use your pattern cardstock and hide a message!

You can make this any size, if you would like to see my other ‘Explosion’ style cards, check out my playlist here.

I’ve used a belly band to keep mine closed, however, a ribbon tie would also look lovely.
