I saw your video a few weeks ago and I really enjoyed your ideas. We always camped during the years we raised my daughter. We still camp and enjoy traveling in our trailer. I am very grateful for your video and sharing in great detail how to decorate the cards and make the folds for different sized papers. I have lots of ideas for fun with this card to decorated and use my stamps. I hope your trip to Arizona is full of warmth and lots of enjoyable things to help get through the last of the cold winter weather. I am a multi crafter and spend a lot of time designing my own patterns and making my own clothing as well as my extensive paper crafting hobby. It is warm genuine people like you and your husband that help me stay focused and find new ways to keep my cards fresh and the projects really fun. I am making a few of these cards and plan to stamp my own images and do my own ideas for Valentine's Day. I am going to fill the card with bits of hearts and little piece to spill out along with a treat for the holiday. Thanks so much for sharing. You make it look easy and truly it is easy.

Love wordle! Play every day, it's addicting. 😜

Made this for a special friend. Going to try a large one. Made a bunch of the origami hearts for Valentine cards. Safe travels.

I made these years ago, but could never remember how to make them!!! Taco, taco, hotdog, tent, house!!! Thanks!!!!! ☺️🎉

Have a safe trip 🚘

Love, absolutely LOVE this card. I watched the video numerous time, repeated the manta and I think I’ve got it!! Thank you both for sharing this. ✌️✌️❤️❤️

I like this card!! The story DOES make it easier!

Wow. You are creative. Bless you all.

I never seen the explosion card before. Thank you for teaching this card. Very pretty

I absolutely love this, I went right to my craft desk and started creating. Typically I write down the directions but your little hint to remember the folds is perfect and I will not forget that taco, taco, hotdog, tent, house. I've already made a bunch of these cards since watching your video. Thanks Karen and Tim, you to are a hoot to watch.

Catching the replay! TFS how to make explosion cards using the Taco, Taco, Hot Dog, Tent, House folds & Upgraded House to tuck in the corners! LOL

The story method is great for teachers!!! I LOVE THIS 😀🙃😃

Hi ! First time ! I saw that you were going to show how to make the explosion card.... it caught my eye, so here I am ! I've just become a demonstrator and am not doing the company thing, just for myself for the discounts ! My husbands birthday is 2/5 and I wanted to make him a special bthday card ! Thanks.... Ginny from Indiana

Watched part of the video live and the rest on replay. I love this technique! The story will really help!

Hi Karen, have been looking for an easy way to make an explosion card and your directions are wonderful and so easy to understand. Thank you From Sydney Australia💕

Had my hubby watch you guys on the big screen, and I tested him today to see if he remembered how to do it. He was successful 👏🏻👏🏻. Now to make card bases for the explosion pieces! 😀

Karen, I absolutely love the explosion card and your story to remember the directions. I shared with my husband, and we both folded the papers. He said it was awesome. Thank you for sharing. 🌺

Thanks so much for reading my sentence !! I have really needed to laugh along wih you, Tim &!Karen !! So much dadness has happenrd lately,

Hi Karen! As I sit here trying the explosion card, I’m telling your story as I do the folds & my GSon is getting such a kick out of it! I love that you’re obviously a team! Too much Fun!

Love, Love this idea! Thank you for making it looks so easy.

Those are awesome. I plan on making these for my daughter to give to her students for their birthday. Thanks for the cool fold.

#replay. I loved the way you explained this one. Very easy if you follow along with Karen. Thank you!

I made three of them with you . What fun and such a cute story to go with it. You should have been an elementary teacher.

Thank you so much for this! I’ve wanted to make this card but thought it would be very hard. Thanks to your story, though, I was able to watch the video once, then successfully make the fold from memory several days later! It works brilliantly thank you!

just made six 5x7 explosion cards and was wondering about smaller sizes...brilliant timing joining your channel! LOL Thank you from France

Love, love this card!! I had never made one and I just made three watching your video! I have to decorate the front and then I will post on Back Porch stamper. Thank you Karen...love it!❤️❤️

Hello Karen & Tim- What a fun story to remember your folds for your cards. Enjoy your trip when you get out. Be safe & enjoy yourselves while traveling... thanks for sharing these cards👏👏👏💞

Love love love your story and the explosion card.

I caught the replay and I love this card. I have never done an explosion card, but now I can’t wait to try it. Thank you for the inspiration.

I love the fun this fold brings to the card. So many things you can do with it.

I caught the replay and I love this card. Thank you for sharing.

I love explosion cards

Love the card! I enjoy your ideas & I love how you & your hubby interact.

Watched replay and made 3 “sample” cards. I first learned this many years (about 25 years ago), at Carol’s Corner, In Universal City, TX. It was the first rubber stamp store I ever went to, and I was there every Saturday, doing classes, or “make and takes”. I learned soooo much from @Carol Wood, over the years. Thank you! I really needed this refresher. I had difficulty getting the “pretty side” on the inside, to show, when exploded. I finally got it, the third time I made the cards with you and Tim Yeah!

Thank you Karen and Tim! I love this fun fold . I made it with you last time. I am going to make Valentine's for my grandkids and use this fun fold. Awesome idea!

This was a fantastic tutorial, the rhyme helped me to remember step by step folds……Thank You I can now experiment with different sizes😊😊 🎉x

Great card i will have to try it. Thank you both. xx

Looking forward to trying this! Never made one before, but it is a wonderful card!!! I agree about the Valentine idea! Cute, cute, cute!!! TFS. 💞🙏🌹

👍 Loved the easy fun story to help fold the neat explosion cards! A great fun way to remember the folds!

Catching the replay- super cool cards! Certainly will try doing these! 👍⭐️✨👍

Very cute! I love that stamp set too!

Love the card! Thanks for sharing all your clever ideas!

thanks Karen - such a cute way to remember this technique. Thanks for sharing!

Saw a different version with the 6 in paper. Of course, that can be made any size, too. Thanks! Might help me to use some of my clearance paper packs from Hobby Lobby even though they are one-sided.

Whenever I'm not feeling inspired all I have to do is watch your video. And here I go again. Thanks for keeping me going.

Oh I love the way you teach this. I’m going to try this and then do Valentines with our 3 grandkids who are staying here Monday and Tues. nights. Thank you.

Oh my goodness! What an easy fun fold card! I’ve made 2 already and can’t stop

Oh wow! Can't wait to learn how to make them!

Love it!! You make it so easy to recreate. Thank you.

I can't wait to try and make some of these..they are wonderful!!

Love it.. I actually wrote that down in my cheat notes. Have made a few in different sizes already. So many options as shown by posts made by viewers.

Explosion cards are so fun! Finally, was able to comment here - love to watch you, Karen & Tim! My favorite Stampin' Up couple!

Love this fold! I'll have to give it a try!

Going to make a 4 yr old gdaughter this for her northeast card. Thanks for the story instructions.

Love this story and fold!!

Love the explosion card 😍 I made one for my grandson's birthday

I LOVE you guys! Taco, taco, flip to Hot Dog, tent, to house, upgrade house! Rather than writing a bunch of things down or doing several screenshots, this is so much more fun! Thank you, Karen and Tim, and I wish you a very happy trip to Iowa, then to Arizona! Safe travels! ❤️

I do have a banana set from paper pumpkin!! Love it!!

I liked the story memory aid

Love it! Was initially intimidated to make an explosion card but your story made it easy to follow along!

Have a wonderful vacation!

Karen and Tim I love the story with directions!! So awesome for my brain🤣. Glad you made several because it took that many for me to get it! I will make these definitely. Safe travels…

I made mine along with the replay! Love it. Thank you for the story. (I used the rainbow paper also.)

awesome fold....I remember doing this fold many years ago.....TFS

Awesome technique!

Very fun!

Watching the replay. Made the card along with you. Used 6x6 paper since I have so much Stampin Up paper. Definitely going to make some to mail.

I like the story that goes with it! I work at a library and have done many “fold and tell” stories with the children. I will have to try this card style, seen the finished card but have never tried it.

These have always been a big hit:) thanks for bringing them back:) they are great birthday cards:) tfs:)

Awesome awesome awesome couple love your videos i believe this one is my fav

When I first saw this I thought it would be too hard, but it is actually so simple. Especially with your story. Thanks so much

I love the story card! It made the fold so easy to remember. I'd love some more story cards *hint hint*, Karen and Tim. :)

Greatings from Belgium Great team 🤗

Wat is het weer een mooi kaart Karen (tim)

I love your technique and your great story! So helpful!! I've practiced with copy paper, saying taco-taco-hot dog-tent-house with each fold. I practiced with 6" snd 7" copy paper. 🤗 such a cute stamp set t-perfect for this story
