Glue the pop-up design to the inside of the folded card. The flower pot on the front of our 'get well' card is attached with an adhesive foam mounting dot creating a 3D effect.

A through N on practice sheet, as shown in Ill. 4, to help you follow the directions below.
Explosion folds do take a little practice.
Design card using graphics, scanned photos and text as desired. Referring to the illustration and photo of the completed explosion card, make required folds. With explosion laying flat on table, design side up, bring left edge to exact vertical center of paper. Hold in place, and create a sharp crease from the top left down to the diagonal A-D crease. Next create a sharp crease from the bottom left up to the diagonal B-C crease.
