 Hi everybody it's Sam at Mixed Up Craft thank you for watching my tutorial today. I'm really excited because I'm sharing my first tutorial using products from my new collection which is super sliders. So I'm going to be showing you how to construct and put together the circle six by six. So that's this one here. Now this is at the moment proving to be the most popular. So I have the six by six square and also the zigzag or it can be you don't have to have the zigzags but that's the five by seven and you'll see them in future tutorials that I'll be sharing very soon. If you haven't seen them and you haven't seen the new collection I'll link up the kind of closer look video that I've got and that will show you the whole collection and you'll be able to see the other two dies there as well that create those other sizes. But this is the one I'm going to show you today and I'm actually going to show you how to have it as a gift card holder. You actually just make it the same way but we're going to add some foam to give it a little bit of dimension which will allow for the gift card to be able to slide in and out. But it's a really lovely set so these are the samples that I've already created. Some of you will have seen me do these either when I launched on Hochanda or during my Facebook live with craft stash. So the kind of the I guess what the die was kind of made to create is this kind of theatre mirror here so you have all these little circles that are like little light bulbs and depending on what kind of cardstocks you use I've used this mirror card here to create the look of a mirror and then I've just filled it with all of these perfume bottles and you've got you know your makeup and you've got earrings and then you just pull the pull tab and you have your makeup kind of compact or palette that's revealed there you can obviously have a sentiment which you'll see on the other samples here in a moment and then it just says there hello beautiful and the whole thing folds down and that will fit into your envelope but it's also you know they can be a top folding card as well so if they want to be displayed that way they can do and then the other version was this one here that I've made and this is using you know the same thing so this is behind these kind of little circles these light bulbs is this lovely die here so it's got a really nice pattern and shape to it and again pull this one up and this is all heat embossed and this one here says girls just want to have fun and I've stamped the lips there as well and use lots of glitter and sparkle the papers are also from the collection which I'll show you in a moment and then this is now the gift card version so it looks exactly the same but actually there's a there's a thin piece of foam running under here and it just gives you that space for the gift card to then slide really comfortably you know in and out so that's the one that I want to show you because all you have to do is just you know swap out the foam and you'll just have these normal styles and there's another one here as well so you just pull this and you can see that you have the happy birthday glamorous friend use lots of glossy accents on all of the embellishments there love the earrings I just think there's such a nice addition and I love this as well you can see there you've got all that space and you just want to use a little glue dot these ones here I've got a by stick to anything and you can just pop them behind the gift card and then just pop it in there I just think it's a great way of you know sending a gift so the papers I'll quickly show you them then we can get straight into making the card so these are the two pads I've got so you have your geodes and you have your candy and they're beautiful this one again is proving very popular as well just because of this these lovely two here but I use this one on here and I just love those two colors together that soft pink and that teal color turquoise I just think it looks really really nice so let's start making the six by six circle card okay so these are all the dyes right and what I've gone ahead and done so I've got my six by six card blank here I've actually just cut this from a piece of 12 by 6 and then just scored through the middle there at 6 inches but you can use shot bra and I've just put them that layer in there which is five and three quarters squared and just stamped a sentiment from my stash so that's all ready to go then what I've actually done as well is I've cut this piece here which is five and three quarters squared now if you were working on a white card blank to start with for example here you wouldn't need this piece because you would stamp your your messages and sentiment directly onto your card blank but because I'm using this teal color I want to have this white so I can stamp onto this so that's what that one's there for then I have cut this piece here which is that beautiful geodeffects there using this die here so that's your main matte layer okay so you just need to cut that one once or twice depending if you want to stamp you might not want the white frame so you could stamp and you could cut another one in white and then have that behind to stamp on so you don't have the frame you know there's there's lots of ways to put this together so once you you know you have yours and you start playing around with them you'll be able to decide what it is you want to do but you can see that that fits nicely over the top you want this one here and we just want this pattern piece and with all the mechanisms across the three you will have these three rectangles you got this small one at the bottom it's always the smallest one you want facing you and if you flip it over the top is actually a score line and then the three sides are cut lines so it will always stay attached at the top and then there's a score line in the middle here and a score line here and then you're back to that cut line but you just always remember you want that smallest one facing you now depending on how much of the tab you want hanging out the top you do have the pull stamp which is in the sentiment stamp set which is just here you've got the pull there okay so we're going to cut our little finger pull here as well we'll stick this down in a minute at the same time so you'll stamp your pull there but you'll have your pull tab sticking out the top so you want to bring this down as far down to the bottom as you can get it really as long as you've got a tape that's going to fit within that space well I've got this one here which is a really thin red tape it's very strong and it's perfect for this and this measures you're coming in at one eighth of an inch okay but you can go a little bit thicker I've been using this one as well okay but obviously the higher up you have it the more of that tab you're going to have hanging out but you can trim that as well so you know if you do get to it and you think I've got too much overhanging and I want it to fit in a shop-bought envelope you can just trim the top of it because you're still going to have that finger pull where you can stamp the word pull so the person's going to know still what to do with them anyway but I'm going to keep mine about here okay and then I've got some of my tape here you can use washi tapes as well this is just the one that she Helen from hand-made at Helen she very kindly sent me these so I've been using them a lot but they are still very sticky though the crafters companion one so I've just been taking some of the stickiness off just rubbing it on my clothes there but whenever you're sticking this down just attack the dye in place always make sure you stick your you know your washi tape whatever within this middle rectangle because this is the one that you're going to cover so if you do peel off any of the paper the pattern it won't matter because you're going to cover it up but you will see the back and you'll see this very front piece here so just lightly down just pop in that one in place and then I'm just going to cut another little piece of tape there again just take some of that stickiness away and then this one is going to sit in the center along the top here and what I've been doing is just using my ruler and it's two inches in from each side five centimeters so I can see they're two and two and then you just want to clip it so that the top kind of sits on that top score line and then it will just cut that semi-circle so I'm just going to tack that in place there so that now is all ready for me to run through my dye machine okay so take that one off that's cut really nicely and you've got that perfect little finger pull and then this one here I'm just gonna carefully just roll that tape back towards me and you'll see that just peels off and it won't damage oh I've got a little bit there but again you know this is quite sticky if you've got any of your washi tapes they're generally quite low-tax so it should be fine but it's going to be covered so I'm not worried so there now you can see that we've got this piece still attached at the top there so you want to fold that one away from you so it creates a valley fold then there's a middle score line here just fold that towards you okay and then so you now got a mountain fold and then this little score line at the front here you want to make it into a valley okay and then if I bring that down you can see how we've got that mechanism now okay now I've already gone ahead and prepared these pieces so I've cut using the same pattern paper this circle using the circle die just using this one here now you can cut that into this and it gives you a nice frame so you can use that in other ways as well and then I've also cut that nice one here and these are great on their own if you just want to have them as a nice topper you can have that as a gift tag you can have it as a topper on a card with the shoe you know that's actually a nice gift tag with the shoe and everything on it on a plain gift bag so you know there's lots of ways to use it but you can see there how I've already gone ahead and I cut that one as well okay so what I've gone ahead and done is I've also gone and died cut this piece here which is that rectangle piece which is this one here okay so that's now going to be our pullout piece now I've gone and stuck that tape on because I know it's going to fit on this card but if you with this piece here basically what's going to happen is you can see I've put my tape just on that small rectangle there this is going to attach to this but you want to make sure you've got an equal amount overhanging this mechanism piece and then you can see exactly how much space you've got to add your glue so if you have got a tape that's wider you can see the space that you have here but you don't want to come in anywhere into this bit here because this won't be a slide up and down this needs that clearance space so if you do want to use a liquid glue you know I would say you can do you want to make sure it's a very thin bead that's really on the outer side so that when you do stick this to the card blank if the glue does spread out it's not going to spread out into this area here okay so prepare that piece so it's like that you've got the tape there and then on those three sides and then what I'm going to do first of all is just take the backing off of this one if you do want to stamp on this one do that all well you can do it after and I shared that in the demos actually you know done a lot of the stamping when it was all put together because it does all lay flat but I'm just going to kind of sit it at the top here and then slide it down just making sure that you've got a nice equal amount and then you're just lining it up with the bottom there and then stick that one down flip it over and pull it up now if you did have anything hanging hanging out here just trim it off you just flip it over and you can very easily go in there and just trim it away so don't worry if it did you know come down and you started to see it but you can see now we've got a really nice movement there with our mechanism now back to the card blank so I've got that white piece so I'm going to sit this over the top so I've got a nice equal frame like so and then I'm going to pull this up as if I was opening it now it's up to you how high up you go I mean well on the circle one you can only go up to where that starts to curve if it was the square you can go even further but you want it why it's up to you depending on how much you're stamping but I'm going to have it about there so it's about halfway and then just grab a pencil and just very lightly mark a pencil mark on all four sides now you could stick this all together do this and stamp and not do the pencil it's entirely up to you once you again you start using them you'll find a way that's you know you're happy doing that is comfortable for you but for the minute I would just say just mark that off so when you take this away you can see now where we can you know the area we've got to stamp our message so I'm going to use the same one that I've done before which is happy birthday glamorous friend and again these are all the sentiments within this set here and I love the change of the font there so the glamorous friend with the happy birthday I think they look really nice together and also I was looking through my inks and if you like to have your inks match in your papers the harmony quick dry in the lagoon color matches this paper in the turquoise with the turquoise there really nicely all that teal color so again you know lots people you know liked that some I'd found a color that worked really well with the papers so if that's something you like and you have that one that then yeah it works really well so I've got my happy birthday so I'm going to sit that one just there so I'm working within those little pencil marks I just popped down like so and then I'm just going to pop the glamorous friend you could put them both at the same time but I kind of like doing them both separately and then I can kind of position it exactly how I want I like it quite close to the happy birthday like so now I also added some stars on the other one but I done that when I put everything together so I'm going to leave it for the minute and then come back to that now you want to rub out those pencil marks because it's a quick dry I can carry on straight away I don't have to wait now we're going to stick this over here so we want to take off so what I've just gone ahead and done is I've actually done it as if it was a normal card so you carry on and do this and stick it down but I want to have a gift card in this one so on these three sides you will actually add your foam tape this is the silicone foam that I use it's really good it's by the dot and dab range and it's available from craft stash and lots of other stores online I'll share the links below it's by trim craft and you get this kind of packaging that you want to keep it in because I am accidentally just kind of flung it off to one side you can see where I've caught it on some paper and it will stick to anything so just take you know bear that in mind but I'm actually now going to go over this area and you can see it's still it's that width that will still fit nicely in these you know kind of sections anyway but like I said if you don't want to have a gift card in this then just leave it as I had before so just add just means it's going to stick really well to the paper don't worry if it curves up that's what will happen when you use foam because it's got the release paper on the top once you take that off then the whole card will flatten so don't worry at all there okay so now that's all ready so now I'm going to take the backing off that okay and then flip it over so I want to make sure I keep a white border if this was the same size as this piece then you would just you know line it all up what I'm actually going to do is do it this way here so I can just focus on the bottom make sure that's all lined up and just push that up like so I've got my nice border and this moves up nicely but it's got that area here now for that gift card if that's what you choose to put in there we were saying as well you probably put a scratch card on there or something else you can also have those like friendship cards that have nice nice little quotes and notes on them that could sit in there quite well as well so now I'm just going to stamp my little pull so I'm just going to ink that one up and then lay that one down like so and then I'm just going to glue onto the back of this piece here and then make sure that my cards opening the right way and then stick this on here with that nice border okay so now like I said if you if you don't like that that's overhanging because I could go down a little bit further still then even at this point and I'll show you I'll do it now just in case anybody's a bit unsure but you can still trim that so I can open that up pop it in my trimmer and if I wanted to I need to keep everything straight I can just take some off there and you can see there it will still you know work perfectly all right and then I've got these pieces now so I'm going to use my foam tape on the circle just for some extra dimension that one and then I've gone ahead and I've die cut all of these pieces here which are all come within that same die set there's the earrings so I die cut them first of all in gold then I die cut them in the teal color and then just cut off the little kind of the stud part there so then you just all that the the actual piercing and then you're just left with the stud and then I've just used a flat back pearl on the top there put some foam on the back to attach them again with the lipstick there I just die cut it in the teal color and in the gold and then just cut the top off the gold and stuck them on top so you have a teal colored lipstick and again with this one here I just cut it in gold and then in teal and then just backed it it just looks really nice and it just keeps everything matching and I've died cut the shoe quite a few times about three or four layers stuck together there with the cloud glue that becomes a really nice embellishment you know you can have that as a dangle on a mini album or something so it looks really nice as well so I just want to start building that all up so I'm just going to take my backing off and just stick that all down on here okay so there's my little top already and then what I was doing with the other card you can see here if I just bring them back in because I've used little pearls all around the circle there I just think they look really nice so I did put a little bit of glue on each one and then added the just I think sometimes the adhesive on these isn't always the best and they do tend to fall off so I'm just you know put a tiny little dot there just do a few at a time and then I can just lift these off and just sit them over there and you just know that way that they're definitely going to stick down and they're not going to end up you know falling off by the time that person receives it so I'm just going to go around and stick those all down okay so there's my top I think it just finishes it off so nicely with those pearls on there so next we can just stick this down so along the bottom half just about that much about a quarter of the way you can see the area that you need to fill so basically this is going to sit within that middle rectangle only don't make sure it doesn't go past if I pull this up it can't go past that score line so it's just going to bend and it won't lift like it does there you can see now how nice that looks so I'm going to keep it flat I can see everything straight you can see a pull tab there as well but if it does go over that isn't you know it doesn't matter the person will still notice it when you give it to them anyway now that's all stuck down and then I'm just going to add let's do this one here first and the earrings just going to decorate the front if you add anything here so I put my phone pad to the the right hand side so when it flips over it's on the left and it will stick on this bit but not on your mechanism but it will overhang into that corner but because it's lifted it's not going to affect the way that that works it will slide under nicely but it's it's a nice way to be able to decorate the front there so again if I just take off the backing on the earrings and you can kind of just you know have them just overhanging a little bit into that area I just think it looks quite nice okay so you can see all that decoration there it looks lovely and then you can just pull it up get your lovely message and then if you've got your gift card just pop a couple of little dots on the back there and then you can just sit that one just kind of pop it under there slightly so it's just under the pull and it's in the center there like so you'll see that it just sits in there really easily it's just such a nice gift you know and surprise for that person to see when they they open up the card but I did say about adding the little stars which I have been doing so you know you can still like I said stamp on this card but even when you put it together because it is flat so I've put the star towards the top corner there so it allows me to be able to get in so I'm going to pop one in the middle and I think it just finishes off the card really nicely like said you've got all that space inside so they can display it like this or pop that ink back away there pop that back down and it will display really nicely even when it's like so so that is the way that you construct the circle slider card okay so there is the finished card I think it looks lovely really like these I love that you can have the gift card in them so just think it's always nice sometimes especially if you're posting maybe to someone you know who you don't always see so you want something that's going to fit easily in the in the post or in a nice little box then you know that's a nice way to gift them but yeah I really have enjoyed these I just think there's such fun cards to do and the you know to have the mechanism do all of that kind of measuring and cutting for you and then you can just kind of spend your time doing all that fun decoration I just really enjoyed it so I will link the kind of close-look one here somewhere as well and I'll link some other cards that you may like and I'll also picture of my face will be just there if you haven't subscribed to my channel and you like the cards that I've shared today then just click on that and you'll get notified when I do post another tutorial so thanks for watching and I'll be back again very soon bye
