 Hi everybody it's Sam at Mixed Up Craft thank you for watching my tutorial today. I'm going to be showing you how to make this really lovely card which has got lots of shine to it because I've been using the Dovecraft mirrored cardstock which I'll share with you in a moment. Basically this one opens up it's a panel fold card so I don't know I guess maybe like I don't know I just played around with cutting which is what I always seem to do you can see how it looks from the back there um so yeah some form of panel fold some form of a panel fold card and it just stands like so and you can have it even further out you can have it like that you can just play around with it but you can see the profile that's how you get if it's like that it looks really nice or if you have it slightly further out then you start to see all of the panels you can have it that far out so yeah you can really play around with it and again it's so easy for whoever you give it to as soon as they get it out they know that that's you know how it's going to stand up so you've got plenty of room to write on the back um these are always a good style card if you've got maybe um not very thick cardstock as your card base because there are so many layers to all of this there's one with the cardstock and then you've got another three layers on top of that so it becomes a real solid card and it stands up really really well so this is using the first edition forever free papers the dovecraft mirrored cardstock and these are dovecraft pegs and then the flowers are just from my own stash just from a punch that I've got but I really love how it comes out and like I said this one fits into a five by seven envelope so again mine's got a bit of bulk with the peg but obviously if you haven't got that on there it will post easily so that's that one this is what we're going to use this is all the supplies this is going to hit against my camera now no it's not too bad so these are the pegs so the metallic pegs there's the gold the rose gold and the silver is somewhere I can't find the pack but those are those ones they're really handy nice few cards then this is the rose gold that I used for the card I've just shared with you there and then this is the silver which I'm using today and these are the April premium mirrored cardstock you get 10 sheets and again all of the um links to that will be in my blog that's the paper pack forever free and I've used the cutouts here as well so again it's you know I like those paper packs when you've got everything together so I've already gone ahead and done it loads and loads of prep because you don't need to see me do all of this but this one here is you're the best on the front of it and this is using the silver and just look how great that looks that's the silver peg and with the silver flowers there's just so much shine to it I hope this picks up well in the photos so like I said I've gone ahead that's the sizes of everything that I'm going to go through with you and that's all ready done so to make the main card base you need a piece of 12 by 7 okay we'll go through the scoring in a second I'll just go through all these bits then the mirrored cardstock you're going to need two pieces that are two and three quarters by six and three quarters now this is also the same size yeah the same size cardstock for the two white pieces on the back so you would then need another two pieces in white to go on the back of the card for your message okay so four pieces of that size two in if you're using mirrored or whatever you're using and then two in the white then two layer on top of that mirrored card mat this is then going down I'm dropping down in quarter of an inch increments so that was two and three quarters this is now two and a half by six and a half and that will sit perfectly on top there giving yourself a nice even border and then drop down again and you've got six and um sorry two and a quarter by six and a quarter and that's going to go on top of there both of those sizes you'll need two again of each one okay so that's that then to decorate all of those little square panels that we've got you're going to need six pieces of one and three quartered squared then six pieces of one and a half squared and then six pieces of one and a quarter squared so again each are dropping down in quarter of an inch increments so it's all pretty straightforward cutting there then to decorate the centerpiece it's entirely up to you how you want to do this I've actually covered you'll see when I do it but I've covered this rose gold mirrored card here the very back piece is the whole back piece of that turquoise bit there you see so you may not want to you may want to have a frame like this so once we get to that you'll see what I mean but I've cut mine so that it is the full size so this is three by five if you want to drop it down then you'll want to do it would be the size to keep it all with the same board so it'd be two and three quarters by four and three quarters and then do your kind of mat or your layers you know coming down the same but that's what I've done there and then the one on top of that was would be the one that I said to do before so four and three quarters by two and three quarters is that pink polka dot and then this is just one of the pieces that I cut from the paper pack and again like I said with my own flowers I've also popped it on some foam adhesive so this one in here is lifted and to the same width of the peg and again it just gave it some nice dimension I've done the same with that piece there you can see it's just got some foam dimensions again just just gives it a little something okay so that's everything there so now let's go back to the main piece here now first of all so with your card facing upright because even you know all cardstocks have a front and a back if you're not too sure and they look the same then it doesn't matter but what you want to do is flip it over first and you want to score at three and nine along the 12 inch side okay then flip it back rotate it and with a ruler you want to do a score line at two inches between those two score lines that we just done so just line it up at two inches and make sure that it hits two inches down the very bottom here okay your ruler's got to be completely lined up and then just find the kind of track and you'll be able to just score I've already done it so I just want to make sure I'm falling yeah there we go and you're just scoring within that three and nine inch score line that you done before and then you're going to come along and score it five again in between that three and nine inch score line like so I just bring it up so you can see there there's those two score lines that I've just done between they get a bit better between this is my three inch and that's my nine and then there's that score line it just runs in between okay then flip it back round again so you're back along the 12 inch side and you then want to score it five just down to the first score line seven just down to the first score line and then rotate the card stock all the way around so those two little score lines you've just done are at the bottom and do again five down to the first score line and seven down to the first score line okay so all of your scoring should be done on the top apart from when we flipped over at the beginning your three and nine should be done the other way and that will just help you prevent any cracking so we're going to be folding it two different ways but now you can kind of see how the card's coming together so this is our left panel if I lie this one down here in front you can see what we've got so this panel is there and that panel and then our three squares are these three squares and then this piece here is this larger panel but we're actually going to trim it down a little bit and that's so that we allow it to fit in this size envelope otherwise you may like it bigger and if you're happy to make your own envelopes then that's fine I'm just whacking something over there okay so get rid of the scoreboard and then you want to grab a cutting knife and we're going to cut some bits inside so first of all what you want to do is we're going to cut here we've got our large rectangle in the middle we want to cut from the corner of the rectangle down to the bottom okay so just from here down to here and then here down to here do not cut all the way down this line otherwise the card will just fall apart so just with my ruler I'm going to try and cut out the score line as such because then we're going to be trimming this away even more in a minute but I'm now just going along there just cutting if I just bring that up you can see where I've just cut through there okay so again I'm going to go along that I'm going to rotate it around because I can see the score line better when I've got the ruler on my left and then again very neatly just cut that down okay then what you want to do is from the top left so where we've already now got a cut we're going to continue that cut along to the bottom of the middle square so there's your three squares the middle square the bottom left of that is where you're cutting to just to there then we're going to start our cutting again from the bottom right of that middle square to join that cut that we've done there before so let me go ahead and do it because once you see what you're then creating it will make obviously a lot more sense to you so again I'm kind of keeping above the score line just so it joins up with that cut before I may need to see to help it along a little bit okay so you can see now what I've done cut that piece out and then again I'm just going to join up and there's that piece there okay so again if I just bring that up so you can see I've gone from the top of the rectangle where we'd cut anyway and I've just gone to the bottom left and the bottom right of that inside square so I've not touched this piece here and rotate the whole thing around and you're going to do exactly the same again so again I'm going to cut this one so and then this one here now we've got this whole piece removed now we're going to start doing some folding and then we're going to go and trim this because I'll explain why because like I said some of you may want to choose to keep it there now because of the way that we folded this these first score lines here you're going to fold up okay like so then these ones are going to go down so your first score lines were valleys the next score lines are going to be mountains then a mountain again and then the last one will be a valley okay so there's your valley mountain mountain valley all right now when I fold this down so that one will go behind and then that one over the top all the other way around it doesn't matter you can see you have this style now if you measure that the width of this at the minute is six by seven you would have to make your own envelope because in the UK we don't have six by seven envelopes we have five by seven so what I've done to make that work for me is I've just taken half an inch off of each side of this piece here so for example I'm just going to come in here and I'm just going to pop a little cut line there and again at the bottom a little cut line and then I'm just going to join that up with my ruler and cut it now if you don't want to and you actually want it nice and big and you're happy to make your own envelope using the punch board or just by hand then by all means go for it it you know it still looks great but I'm just going to cut my down a little bit just so that I can use all of my pre-made envelopes again just do that one okay so that is the card I think it looks so nice now when I bring it out can you see where we've removed those half inch kind of little tabs but hopefully now all makes sense and that was pretty straightforward to do I try and you know break it down keep it as simple as I can so now it's just the fun part of decorating it with all of those pieces that I told you to cut out so that one's going to go on last so for example you are going to have one of these here and then I've got my ones here which I haven't done yet because I kept these so I could go through the measurements but I'm going to add those ones to that side then I've got my six squares again if I just lie this down I can kind of then see how it's all going to come together I love this cerise pink it looks just so vibrant against that silver and then this is the one again that I just need to build up because that was the one I gave earlier for the measurements and then this piece covers that whole middle square may need to trim it a little bit because I've got a little bit of score line showing there but I can trim that down but that's how the card is going to finally look and then I just need to stick those two on the reverse of here so I'm going to go and get that all stuck down okay so I've stuck down all my mats and layers there it just looks so and I love the way that that mirrored card to stop just shines it really does change your look of your cards um so yeah so remember I said when I popped that bit on the the cerise pink was kind of showing from underneath all I've done is I've just gone in from the sides here and see I've just taken very small little wedges off so I've just popped my ruler down at an angle wherever such a slight so there it is straight just bring it at a little angle and just with your cutting knife just you know meet up again with the same you know with that score line there just make sure you don't cut over if I just bring it up can you just see where it's just ever so slightly as little wedges taken out and that just means now when that sits over the top none of the pink underneath kind of you know shows through so I'm now going to just pop the last of my glue on this bit here and then just pop that one over the top and there you have it bring this one up so now you just fold that in look at that isn't that gorgeous against just so it stands up however you want whether you want it like that like that like that I just absolutely love this style and then depends you want to fold that one over or that one it really doesn't matter but even when it folds down flat I think it just looks really lovely to that person when they open up the card um open the envelope and again there's my five by seven envelope already for that to fit in and I just love them so that's using the silver with the forever free and this is using the rose gold with again the forever free and um yeah I think they both look stunning I love them love love love so there you have it two really beautiful in my opinion I think very beautiful cards so I hope you've enjoyed it too if you have please give me a thumbs up and subscribe to my channel so you get to see more thanks for watching bye
