Score the 6″ x 6″ DSP at 1 1/2″ on all sides.
Cut the 4 corners out.
Fold the outside point of the edges cut inward towards the score line to create a triangle, do this on each side.
Starting with the bottom edge fold upwards towards the middle and proceeding clockwaise fold at each score line inward until you get to the last and fourth fold and tuck inside the first fold, creating the explosion square.
Stamp on the inside Basic White square piece in Flirty Flamingo for th Stippled Rose and Sweet Sorbet for the sentiment for a little contrast!
Open up the explosion square and adhere the inside layer to the center square.
