 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 another stand and pop card but this is in the six by six size so this has been requested by quite a few of you I usually find that when I post a five by seven card up I then get requests for the six by six or vice versa so I always try within pretty much most of the card designs that I posted you will find you know two of the tutorials of that card but in those two sizes and I will link this one into the five by seven video and I'll link the five by seven into this video and I'll also put in the title five by seven and six by six so for anybody who hasn't seen what the card is yet so I've been calling this the stand and pop so it all folds flat and this will fit into your six by six envelope and then when you open it it all pops out and then you have this page on the back here which is a great place for your sentiment but also acts as a stand it just gives it that support to stay in that right angle I've fallen in love with this these are my favorite kind of cards to make the ones where I color stamped images I just think this is adorable and it's using the brand new Daisy Mae collection which I shared with you all earlier I've added lots of detail I've used like my Posca pen to highlight the little white kind of spots there on the toadstools I've used glossy accents on the bee and in the center of the moth butterfly dragonfly on her wings just think it's a nice touch and also on the windows there on that gorgeous little fairy house I love it I think it's the perfect card and you know depending on the colors you use and when I show you well if you've seen the collection that I shared there's also a little guy that you could have here and you could change a lot of colors to more you know boy colors if we you know you've got to be careful what you say now and you but you know what I mean if you want to go down the route of making it more towards a boy then you can certainly do that and you can change this character here and I just absolutely love this style I really have fallen in love with it it's just got such a nice look to it it stands up perfectly and it you know just the way it all folds flat there you'll notice if you've seen the five by seven I've actually put two white strips here are quite like that I mean you could if you wanted to put pattern paper on the top as well but in the other one that I done the five by seven this was just plain colored cardstock but I just I don't know just breaks it up a bit and you could you could put something like I guess open me or surprise or something but the thing I like about this is it as soon as it comes out the envelope it kind of naturally starts to kind of want to come down so that person who receives it will know what to do with this you know it's pretty even if they pull it like this you know they're going to know that it will stand up because it's got this piece here as well and like I said it's just yeah looks lovely and I also finished it with some Nuvo drops there at the top just for a little bit of dimension so let me show you how to make this one okay I'll pop that one just there so I'm using the dandelion elf stamp set with the matching die which is at the back we've used actually quite a few in here so that one there so those two work together and you can buy them separately don't buy them together then I've used the washing line love that just this one at the back here with the clothes on there it's really cute so I've used the die and there's the stamp to go with that and they also let me know because I received my one had two of these in and apparently that's just something that's happened at the factories so those ones are just going to go out I believe so if you get one of them you're lucky but you should only be getting one so I think they said it's just easier just to do that and then the next batch that comes through we just have the one stamp set in so then I have used this is one of my favorites it's just such a lovely die and stamp and die so there's the tree trunk and it's the treehouse stamp set and then this is the one here it's kind of a bit of a like a coordinate you know it's just like your add-on I guess so I use the bumblebee there and the struck and fly isn't it yeah these two here autumn leaves stamp set and I've got a lovely card coming with more bits of this one so that's all the the items there and as always it's always shared below so I have gone ahead and colored all this but I'm going to link in now while I'm just sorting this out a quick video showing you how I started to color this one here it's so so lovely okay so this one is going to have a pink base card so you want one piece that is 8 by 5 and a half and along the 8 inch side you want to score at 5 inches and 7 inches and then flip it over and score again at 7 on the back flip it back over and you're going to fold in the way that they want you to fold by how you scored them so you will have a valley and then a mountain so you'll have something like that okay then you will want this piece which is going to go on the back and this is 6 by 5 and a half okay so that is going to stick right on there with a 1 inch overhang which will create the feet so again those of you that've just done the 5 by 7 and I've been loving the ones that you've been sharing on the group by the way really really lovely I know many of you are enjoying it so then for that pop-out piece now we're doing this bit here and this is a piece of 5 and a quarter by 4 and a half along 5 and a quarter side you want to score a quarter of an inch 1 and a quarter and 4 and a quarter and again you just want to fold all of those also their mountain fold so they'll all be exactly the same just normal like so that's going to stick like that and then you want a little piece here which is just a little support underneath and this is 3 by 1 inch along the 3 inch side you want to score at half an inch and 2 and a half and just fold and burnish so you've got something like that and then this piece here is for the very front and this is 6 by 2 so this is actually the what gives you your full 6 inch width because I like that that kind of you can see just overhang slightly and I think it just gives the card that shape gives it that kind of tiered look so that's those pieces and then for your mats and layers so for the very front piece okay no sorry yeah this is for this piece here so this is going to cover your main main part and this is a piece of white that is 4 and 3 quarters by 5 and a quarter and then you just drop down by quarter of an inch for the smaller ones so I can't I think 4 and a half by 5 for the pattern there I've already stuck that on and then this is going to go on that very front piece just there and this is a piece of white that's 5 and 3 quarters by 1 and 3 quarters so it will then be 5 and a half by 1 and a half for the pattern that's going to go on there this is for the back I didn't decide because on the 5 by 7 I done two pieces in this side in this size I stuck one down and then folded this other one and stuck it on top but you don't need it that's it you know you can see they're using it without but you can certainly put some pattern paper on here but one of these is going to be a sample so I don't need to worry about stamping and doing all of the back detail because that never gets shown or seen but this is a piece of 5 and a quarter by 5 and 7 eighths of an inch because this is going to go flush with the very bottom so you want a nice border around three sides along the 5 and a quarter you just want to score at 2 and 5 eighths and just fold and burnish and then this one here is going to stick on this one here so this is 4 and a quarter by 2 and 3 quarters so your pattern piece will be 2 and a half by 4 and then these are the two strips that I've got to go underneath so it's optional and that's 3 quarters of an inch by 5 and a quarter so two of those and then this one is to go on the top of this one here so that's 4 and a quarter by 3 quarters and then this one here is to go on the bottom of this piece so they're all optional pieces but I do think they help all of the kind of pop-out pieces pop because you see the blue or the color that I've got against that white I think it just helps it all stand out so this is 5 and a quarter by it's a funny size 1 and 5 eighths but that is a 2 inch piece it should be 1 and 3 quarters maybe that was a bit of scrap but yeah so that's the sizes there so I'm going to get rid of my scoreboard and we can start sticking this all down so once you've got all your bits and pieces you know it's all pretty quick to put together I actually done a lot of coloring I've colored lots of the collection all in kind of one go and I said I was going to use brush pens but I actually ended up going for my Arteza colored pencils and I don't know I'm just really enjoying using the colored pencils at the moment and the one those ones particularly are very creamy and I just I just get a really nice result with them so I thought I used those so I'm sticking it to that top piece there of that folded one and then this one here you just want to stick right over the top it all lines up perfectly like so and then I'm going to stick this one onto the front here like so and then I've got that piece which is going to go in there okay and then I'm going to get this piece here and I'm going to stick that one over the top just a bit easier to stick it down you know whilst it's flat so and then I'm also going to grab that smaller one and stick it on the top so the top is the one where you've got that little quarter inch tab okay and then I'm going to add glue all to the bottom of this one here and you're going to line up this edge here with the score line there so you want to make sure you got it in the middle so you've got even overhang and just bring that up like so if you just fold it right over the whole thing's flat and you can see there I've got a nice even side so I know it's in the middle you just just make sure that you have got it you can you know because I'm using the liquid glue I can push it down you want to make sure it's right in that score line there so I'm just going to keep that like this fold this flap back over and whilst you've got it all laying flat it's quite nice to be able to stick all these other pieces down so you want to lay it down some glue just on this top piece here not on anything else so don't get it touching any of the card underneath and you're going to line up the bottom of this piece with the bottom of this and again make sure you've got an even overhang you should have a quarter of an inch hanging over each side because this is the base so and then I'm going to grab my other pattern piece here and stick this over the top and then I'm going to stick this down first and then you just kind of slide these in so it goes over the top of that if you would rather stick these down now you can do it's you know it's not that much of a deal you're not really going to notice you know whoever you give it to won't notice that that shouldn't have been that done that way but I'm going to stick some glue onto each of my tabs like so and you're going to lay down this one so the folded side runs with the bottom of the card right in the middle again I'll just bring that up so you can see what I've done there stuck that piece down so it runs nice and flush this is the back of the card on the bottom and this is the front and then if you fold it over flat just lift that one up it will lay down perfectly in line with the score line like so and then I'm going to add some glue again like I said these are optional anyway but I just think it broke up all that pink I'm just going to feed that one underneath there stick that one down okay so now you just pull that down and you'll see how everything is falling into place all you then need to do is pop some glue along this one and you want to fold this whole piece so it's flat against itself and then fold the card flat again okay right so while that's all there I'm going to start putting things down so this one it's worked out perfectly as well because it fits nicely within that six inch width so this is going to go right there love that green background so I've already popped some foam tabs just along the towards the bottom part because the top of it is going to overhang so just make sure whatever you're you know sticking down whether you're using your glue or you're using your pads make sure it is all within you know it's on the surface of the cardstock because if you have anything sticky overhanging here or overhanging here when the card lides line lies a flat it's going to all stick and it won't open when you give it to that person so I can sit this one there and I know that the foam pads don't go over the top of this piece here that lovely it's such a great image oh I love it so now oh don't open that yet still gluing we leave that one just for a bit longer just while that's drying I'm just going to stick this piece down so just put some glue on one side and obviously if you want to stamp it beforehand you can and the bottom is going to lie completely flush so you will then have a nice frame around here and if you were to open it right up you get that same border all the way around so you can lie it flat that way in the envelope or you can close it that way it's entirely up to you I like to keep it this way because then I think people naturally go to then open it and see that it you know it also is a stand so and then bring this one back you just fold that one back that way just to make sure it's really secure okay and now that's got a lump there we go need to sort that out okay so it's just sticking down everything else so this is my little clothesline so again I've already positioned all the foam pads so I know none of it's going to overhang so I'm laying this one down first because it's kind of like in the background ish yeah it's just so cute so this one is gonna overhang did I overhang that bit as well yeah I think I did obviously whatever you do have overhanging make sure it doesn't go past this here and this width sorry the six the six inch width because that obviously means it won't fit in your envelope so that's that one and then again with her I've popped the foam on I hope you like the little coloring video as well that I posted up just a lot of people do ask so I kind of film those just you know when I'm watching a movie and something and then I just edit them in so this one I've got a bit of foam just behind her head she's gonna go she's gonna have to go in just a little bit so that wing there we go like so and then I've got believe in magic that one's gonna go there and then I've got my dragonfly and the bumblebee and there you have it isn't it beautiful so if you you know if you're someone that just sometimes just wants to spend a day coloring and stuff if you kind of you know just sit down with all your stamped images one day and just coloring cut them all out and put them in a tray and then you know look at card shapes and styles and then see you know how you can incorporate them into this so what I want to do now is just add a few little extra touches so I've got my glossy accents and I've got the new drops the color I've used is party pink so first of all I'm gonna add little drops over the windows just so it kind of does look like it's glass I love using these they do just really finish off all those little details so just there and also on her wings and I also done a little bit on her eyes just again just to make them look glass like and then on the body of the bumblebee and also the body of the dragonfly that we put it on the wings as well because they're clear aren't they let's do it all on this one this time you can always add it into other things that you may have done as well so there we go and then I'm going to finish with the Nuvo drops again all completely optional you might want to use some sequins whenever I use the Nuvo drops let's grab a bit of scrap just to make sure there's no air bubbles see there is you can hear it and then you start to get the color because the last thing you want is yeah bubbles and it splats everywhere but you just want to always like to do little groups of like three and do some real tiny ones there as well hold up a little bit just so I can see when they're gonna be a couple of bigger ones I don't know just I love all that extra detail I mean I could do some more down here and I think it adds to that kind of whimsical look so I think it's yeah it's just a nice little touch but like I said with a Posca pen if you do have any kind of details like this so for example can you see this tiny little there should be like little dots really on those totes stores there but because the the stamping and the black is probably just filled it in just use one of these give it a really good shake I was like to test it before and just add a few little see look you just see where I've just added those in to see there they're all black right now it's just those extras I think help bring it together when you add white it creates like a highlight and it's just nice little details and that's what I did on those because with the red I kind of pretty much colored over them but as soon as then you go back in with the white but can you see now that white detail just really brings it all to life and yeah I really like it love my Posca pen there you have it I'm not going to stand that one up because those Nuva drops are too big and they will drop down but again just bringing that one in there it's just so pretty so so cute and I just love that it all folds you know nice and flat ready to be given to someone and it's just got such a nice profile it it does stand I always test my cards on the mantle I always put them there stand back think yep do they look good and these I thought did I thought they had a lovely lovely and presence and they would definitely stand out from the other cards from the shops so I hope you enjoy the 6x6 version I'm a little bit in love with this stamp collection Daisy Mae stamps are awesome and they are super cute so I hope you've enjoyed this card inspiration and as always all the links will be shared below and I'll be back very soon with another tutorial see you then
