 Hi everybody it's Sam at Mixed Up Craft, thank you for watching my tutorial today. I'm back with this Valentine's project and this is the ultimate Valentine's card so you can see it's a nice 3D one here and on the front I've got rosettes, I've got an origami pocket, I've got these little die cut sentiments beads and then inside I've got this lovely napkin fold card there that opens up so it's the same as the box that I've done but this time I've just done the top there and that all closes with a nice little magnet and then here you've got this little envelope and as you open up this one inside a little card with another little wood veneer on it and on the back it says be my valentine so there's also a box for this which I'm going to do in the tutorial but I'm not showing you how to make everything on this because I've done a tutorial for everything on it so the envelope is using the envelope punch board and it's using the very first measurement for the gift card so it's a piece of five by five card and just follow the gift card instructions for that one. The napkin fold here is exactly the same as the napkin fold that I've done in the tutorial previously so what I'm going to do is I'm going to share a little icon up here with all of the tutorials that I've used all in this one project so you can just revert to those tutorials for the same the sizes everything so this is a four by four napkin fold and it's a four by four napkin fold that I done in the tutorial and like I said that's for the gift card on the front this little origami pouch I done a tutorial for so again I'll share that and the rosettes this particular rosette is scored at every quarter of an inch that's to get this tiny one and it's scored at every quarter of an inch and it is half an inch wide so that's the measurement so that this will all be in my blog anyway but again I've done the rosette tutorial but the size is slightly different but the process everything's the same and then I'm going to talk you through the mat so and this main card itself and the box for it so to make the actual shell so the case for this card this is on a piece of 11 by five and a quarter card and what you want to do is along the 11 inch side you want to score it five and a quarter and at five and three quarters so you will have this half an inch bind okay so that's that piece and then you just want to burnish on each of those score lines and it will give you your shell then I've got the mats that I'm using here so the the top one so the the white mats that I've used they're five by five and then whatever pattern paper you want to use on top they're four and three quarters squared so again I've used a five by five mat there and then this piece of paper on top is four and three quarters squared I also done one on the back just to finish it off there as well just to show you bits that I've used so these are these beads here which I picked up from the range in the UK you get so many and I swear they were no more than a pound and they've got little hearts there as well all sorts but you can thread them on string you could have them hanging on your card um all sorts of stuff so that's those um I've also got these which are great and they're all little hearts there so I've used those um kind of like on the envelope there and just dotted around I grabbed all my heart dies and just die cut so this is just a die cut heart the belly band for this measures at um what have I got there roughly it's nine and a quarter so that's the belly band and again the same mats there on the back all the triangles for this are all in that tutorial so I think I've explained everything there this is purely to give you um kind of inspiration on how to decorate yours use heat embossing die cuts I've got shimmer card there I've got another embellishment that little light cut glass heart which are these which I've used as well before the papers are as I've mentioned in the previous tutorials it's from last year dove crafts um they're beautiful but again I'll share the links to their current package um package their current paper pack um but you can see I've still got loads and I've used a lot of paper from this pack in this so you get you know good value for money that one right so now to make the box for it to present it in you're going to need two pieces of not sorry not two pieces of the same size so you need one piece of seven and three eighths of an inch squared and then one piece of seven and a half inches squared the mats on top of this one is let me just because this mat I've done to cover the whole lid so there's not really even a border yeah it's five and three eighths squared sorry I just put them out there five and three eighth squared and then I finished it quite simply on top so I've not dressed the box up too much because I want the wow to be with this when you open it but I've used this wood veneer which was from the works and I you can't kick it up I don't think but it's got winkestella I've just kind of brushed my winkestella all over that wood veneer you can also heat emboss these and I share the link to the bag that I made where I heat emboss the wood veneers because again that gives a really really nice effect so if you want if you've got coloured heat embossing powders and you want it to match then you can do that as well okay so I'm going to grab my base first so the base is the seven and three eighths of an inch squared and you want to just score at yeah if you want to score it one inch on all four sides okay so just rotate and score it one inch on all four sides okay burnish all of those score lines go over mine again actually and then grab your lid and this one again this should be your seven and a half inch side you want to score a half an inch and then at one inch and you want to do that again on all four sides half an inch and one inch half an inch and one inch okay and this is going to be reinforced that's why we've got the half and one inch so that it doesn't cover the whole side of your box so if you imagine that's the side that's the top of the box it will cover halfway down like so because it's easy to lift on and off okay so get it dressed as in decorated I don't know why I say dress so we say that get your stuff dressed um I just find it easier to do these things when it's flat um and then we can start putting it together so again I'll grab the base and you just want to pick a side any side it doesn't matter and just cut up here and then rotate the whole thing so you've got the opposite end now and do the same okay and then also if you just shear a little bit off the ends there and that will just stop those bits sticking out the top of your box so I'll take a little bit off the other one the bottom as well so you're just making these little taps now I love using the craft card and I thought the craft card worked really well with this Valentine's idea it's got a bit of a shabby chic feel to it plus this is so strong and durable it does make it a really nice little keepsake because I like to keep special cards and projects so I don't keep everything and I don't expect people to keep everything but when I'm doing something that's reinforced it's on really strong card then I do kind of keep them and also it's good to you know for inspiration and reference and stuff in the future so just put some glue there on the outer parts there are those tabs because it's um the craft card it's really fibrous it takes the glue really well so you just want to pull in each side making sure that glue gets all nicely spread out and you get a really nice right angle there doesn't take long to stick this glue it's pretty instant before it absorbs in okay so that's the box so pretty straightforward and then that will sit in there nicely okay so we've got our lovely gift box coming together there get that glue off me then grab your lid and just as I do all the reinforced ones so you've got this little square in the bottom right here with four squares inside you want to cut up each of those like so okay then just rotate it cut that one completely out and cut the top of that one off so you're just leaving that one square so again this one here cut down remove the two on the side and then just cut off the top one okay rotate the whole thing again so you've got the opposite ends facing you cut down ignore those score lines I done there I made a mistake when I was prepping it but I managed to save it so it's okay so and then just go around and just again take off a little bit of the edges there on those and I'll take it on that top one as well it's just kind of tidying up all these edges and it just gives you a much much nicer finish didn't cut that one off okay so that is what you should have if I just hold that up there you can see you just got this little tab on each corner and I've just taken out little bits from all those edges okay and grab the glue again and you're just going to pop your glue on the little tags so on the tags facing up tabs even not tags sorry right and then again bring that one around just like you did your base and just do that on all those four little tabs stuck down on my corners and then with these extra bits here that are the reinforced parts turn it on its side you just want to put glue just along this outer one you don't need to put it inside as well just literally you see what I'm doing there just splodge your glue along that outer bit and then you're going to fold that one in side pop it back up on its side and with your bone tool just go along burnishing that back inside and spreading out all of that glue and it will give you a really nice finish and that glue will harden the edges as well so this becomes a really tough box sorry it's really dark there but you can see now what I've just done there okay so again just pop your glue on the outer part like so and fold it in and just repeat that on the other side that's now my lid all done see that really nice strong lid and then just grab your box and it will sit nicely on top if you wanted to wrap ribbon around that as well you can do but that's a really nice slide you know that's got a nice tight closure to it so it gives it a really nice finish and there you go so that box is lovely for other things as well you can put chocolates in this you can put nice necklace in there all sorts but so it's quite standard in terms of the way it looks from the outside and then you open it and it reveals this gorgeous over-the-top Valentine's card so there you have it I hope I've explained everything I've given you all the measurements and like I said all these extra tutorials to do all these elements I will share in this tutorial in the information and also in my blog which you'll find below so there you have it that's
