Valentine with a pop up / explosion design. 

This is not and original idea it  was inspired by Srushi Patil video on you tube 

This is  her video link    Srushti Patil is Indian an uses metric 

There are other ladies who use our inches and feet.  Just search explosion card.

My twist is I am using it as a Valentine.  

First I gathered together my papers and tape and things:

You will need a cardstock paper 6" x 12"

 also inside of card (plain color) card 4" x 9.5" 

Thin paper for the wings  2 pieces 6" x 10"

Also for decor Some cut apart or ephemera 

Washi tape 

String 

ribbon 

Gems 

Lace 

Flowers

What ever you like to use.

Glue , Tape runner and scissors. 

You also need a closure mechanism like Velcro or magnets. 

 This card doesn't like to stay closed.

Part one of Valentine how to get it all together and how to score papers.

Score and fold paper:

6" X 12" on 12" side score at 5', 10 1/8", 10 1/4" 10 3/8" and 11 1/4" 

4"X 9 1/2 "  score long side at 4 3/4" 

Thin Paper fold in half then fold top on 45 degree angle to fold.
