- It's time to focus on the inside of the card and create a huge wow by adding a squash fold insert that explodes when opened. The versatile squash fold can be used in lots of different ways to create fun projects and I will show you how to use this fold 3 different ways.

I’ve never seen a squash card before. You made it look so easy to make. The “Big” stamp set looks perfect for kids BD cards. I love all your variations. You are someone who likes to “think out of the box” and you do a great job of it! Stampin’ Up has beautiful paper!
Thank you, Pamela! Are you going to try a squash fold? I think you will love it, as will the person who received it. I really appreciate your words of enthusiasm.😊😊😊
Oh my goodness.. I so enjoyed this video. Every card was stunning, this is my new favorite fold. Thank you for the inspiration and your time. Can't wait to see more of your videos. Happy Easter / 2023

Thank you Stephanie! It's quite the surprise inside!😄
Wow!!! Awesome card for your daughter!
Hi Dot and thank you! I can't wait to give it to her. 😁
I sent a book binding explosion card to my Cousin for her Birthday & she was so thrilled, she made a video to share with her GChildren & me! She’s crafty so I just forwarded this video to her & I can see explosions in the near future!
Watching this BTW has reignited my excitement too! THANKS always Robin! 🌺
I’m so glad you gained some renewed energy. Explosion cards are so fun!😁

As a kid I made mud pies. You are fantastic at making beautiful cards from mud.
Mud pies - so did I! Thanks so much!😁
I learned so much from this one! I know it's a little older, but works with all of the suites!! Thank you for your videos.

Oh! Is my mind racing with all the possibilities! Love love love the b & w worth the burst of color inside! You have given me SO MUCH inspiration!!! Tfs
Hi Jean! I'm loving your excitement. I hope you try these squash folds ASAP!😄
I use this fold with my 8th grade math students to make a 16 page review book with a quilted cover. I had no idea it was called a squash fold! I started following you 3 months ago. I love your cards and techniques. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Angie! Your math craft project sounds very cool! I'm so happy you took the time to leave me a message - welcome! 😃
Whow .... it's beautiful!!! The Cards were great!!! I like them all! Thank you very much.😀
I appreciate your feedback, Therese! 😃
Love your variations on the explosion card, especially the father's day card where you added pictures! Your squash fold album is a fantastic keepsake. I learned how to make these explosion cards a while ago and made a bunch of squash folds but haven't made them into cards yet so I went looking for tutorials and came upon yours. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Karla! I'm happy you enjoyed this project and are going to revisit the squash fold!😁
Awesome technic, thank so much for sharing it! I like all of them but my most favorite is the one that's stack several times. I think you said it was for your Daughter. She's going to love it!
Hi Beth! Thank you for you sweet comments! My daughter DID indeed love the squash album. I want to make a Christmas themed one very soon.😁
FABULOUS!!!! Thank you so very much Robin!
You bet! 😆
Adorable card, Robin!!! 💕🌸💕
Thank you very much!😁
@@reallyrobinstamps I’ve made two “squash” cards since I watched your videos.
Wow! Loved everything you made, especially father's day card and the christmas ornament! Great Tutorial so easy to follow. TFS
Hi Elna and thank you for your sweet comment! My husband still has the card sitting up on his dresser so he must have liked it too! I hope you try one of these projects.😄
Robin this has been an amazing video, I tend to always love the WOW FACTOR cards and these really bring that. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much Sherri! I hope you make some exploding cards for your favorite people! 😁
Hey Robin, Lynn from Australia here. I have made these in the past, BUT, as usual you showed me some different creative ideas that I have never seen before, like the christmas decoration - love that and will look forward to that video as I really want to make some of those - what a terrific way to use up Christmas DSP scraps. Also love the card you made for your daughter's shower - what a beautiful keepsake, and really like the masculine version. Great ideas and techniques, as always. Great job Robin. Thank you so much. Lynn
Hi Lynn! I am happy that you liked the projects, and will make the Christmas ornament tutorial as soon as I get some of that new gorgeous DSP from the new mini catalog!
Such great ideas! I really like the flaps with photos in the dad one.
Thank you, Barbara! 😁
Easy to follow directions and so many great samples. Thank you.
Hi Nana and thank you! I hope you give the squash fold a try!😄
Hi Robin. I've been going back thru your older videos. I love your designs. I came across this one and would love to know how to make the size you made for your daughter. I think my daughter would love something like that with my granddaughters on it. Loved what you did with all of them. I really enjoy your videos.
Your cards are absolutely beautiful, love them all! Thanks so much for sharing this video ! 😎🇨🇦
Thank you, Brenda! 😊
My favorites are the Father's Day card & the one of your daughter! But on the first one, I would make the "big" bigger!! These are great! Thanks!!

@@deloresangus7117 sounds like a good plan!

Hi Victoria! I'm so glad you are going to give this squash fold a try!😃
You could add another tag to the back of the sentiment to sandwich the leaves.
Hi Lori! Great idea, thank you!😁
Great ideas! Love the mini albums!! The tiny ornament is so cute, looking forward to that video!!
Hi Sallie! I'm glad you liked the projects and hope you give one or two a try. I'm going to get some new Christmas papers before I put the ornament video together - so exciting!😃
Loved this! ❤
So happy! 🤩
This was fun to watch!!! I love the one that you made into the big album for your husband and daughter’s shower … but my absolute favorite is that little tiny ornament please let me know when you post a video on that one!!!! 😍
Thank you so much Jannie! I will definitely make the ornament video when I get some more Christmas paper!😁
I showed a friend how to do the ornament many years ago and later she taught it on a cruise ship. She said it was amazing going around the ship and seeing them hanging up all over the place!
The explosion card is one of the first fancy folds I saw demonstrated about 30 years ago. Yours are absolutely gorgeous.
Hi Betty! Thank you so much for leaving me a comment. One of my favorite things about the world of stamping is that you can use ideas over and over with different supplies and images and never get bored! What size squares do you use when you make the ornament project?😄
@@reallyrobinstamps Gosh it’s a long time ago that I made ornaments but as usual did get a bit obsessed. Think they were 3” ones. I did stamp and emboss some and used edge punches too. Think my friend made them bigger on the cruise ship.
I added beads and tassels too.
Love them all I am definitely going to have a go thank you
Hi Kirrily! Happy to know you will be trying these projects - makes my day!😄
This is a great SIP card!
Hi Donna! Thank you!! 😁
@@reallyrobinstamps this is a great fun fold for new stampers and no dies needed. I’ve forgotten about them and came upon your video. Thanks so much!
I just love your Father’s Day card--I may make something similar for my husband for Christmas. I just made your 4 pocket album card from a 12x12 piece of retired SU paper (magnolia paper) and WOW! It’s awesome if I do say so myself. Thanks for sharing your creativity
Hi Mary! I hope you DO make a photo card for your husband - he will appreciate the photos and the extra-specialness and personalization. I need to revisit the 4 pocket album card pattern myself as it has been too long and I have all new paper to play with! Thank you for leaving me a comment and sharing how you will use the projects!😁
I love these cards Robin, they are such fun. Thank you for another great video and more fun folds for me to try 😊❤️
Hi Kath! Yay, I'm very glad the projects are ones you want to try. Mission accomplished for me! Thank you for leaving me a comment!😄
Wow!! LOTS of ideas! Thank you!
Thank you, Teresa! Now go get stamping, right?😄
@@reallyrobinstamps yes, im having withdrawals, my husband has been in the hospital for 11 days and i have not had time to make one card! I need to make cards!
