Share a milkshake gatefold explosion card



cards base is coastal cabana 5 1/2x 8 1/2 scored 2 1/8 on both sides to make a gatefold card.

-sweet talk DSP for the strawberry ice cream scoop
crumbcake was used with the cone die for the waffle cones
expresso ink and real red for the chocolate scoop and cherry  and diecut using the Share the Milkshake dies
I guess I should have added a sentiment tag on the front but I forgot to take a new picture with it

explosion mechanism is 4x8 inches scored at  2 and 6 inches along the 8 inch side -
you can get 4 pieces out of a 12x 12 DSP - 
make a mark at 4 inch and fold diagonals from each corner to make 2 X score marks. 
it is glued down in the back behind the diamond shape and each side  flush with the opening on either side as shown below

here i used Dandy Designs DSP (from sale-a-bration)
stamp hearts with polished pink inkpad and sentiment in black.

Such as simple fold but it makes such a cute impact I think I will make more of these cards using different stampset.  Try it for yourself.
