12 Days of Crafting Easy Explosion Card Tutorial

Hi everyone! Welcome to Lauren’s Scrap Lot 💕
Today’s Show Me How It’s Done is a special sneak-peek project using items from the 12 Days of Crafting Advent Calendar from Stampin’ Up!
⚠️ Spoiler Alert ⚠️
If you are still opening your advent calendar day by day, I recommend bookmarking this video and coming back once you’ve opened all the windows. This project uses several elements from the kit, and I don’t want to spoil the surprise!

In this video, I’ll show you how to create a fun and easy explosion card that “pops” open with layers, dimension, and lots of beautiful details. You can recreate this card using the Advent Calendar or substitute supplies you already have at home.
