    Where do you get the colored cardboard from? I can’t find anything thicker than cardstock except poster board

    On the second row, there are only 2 squash cards with their corresponding pockets. What do you call the other two? Those look much simplier and adds variety to the explosion box and is there any tutorial video for it? I’d really like to know. Thanks for all the help! 🙂
