 Hey everybody it's Sam at Mixed Up Craft, thank you for watching my tutorial today. I've got this really fun card to share with you. It's actually evolved from the double diamond card that I've done. Now I've done that in a six by six and I was looking back at my old tutorials and thought that would be nice to do in a five by seven and then as I started doing it I just started to cut things a bit differently and this is what I've got. So when it falls flat this is what it looks like and yes I've got the holographic card there because I just think the holographic card I love with everything but with my own papers and collection I just think it works really really well. So I have used the papers from my made to surprise party pack and the embossing folder is my celebration sorry the confetti and then I've used some balloons and the yay and stuff and I'll talk you through that in a moment but look at the balloons with the glossy accents over the top doesn't that look cool. So the card will open up and then it can be displayed like so so it stands up really nicely bring up a bit closer there just so you can see all the different texture and layers and then on the back you have your space to be able to write your message. So the whole thing will fold flat obviously I do have the dimension with the rosette so I would pop this into one of my five by seven box envelopes and I'll link them or you can just use it in one of like the bouncy envelopes and that would work fine but again if you're not adding all that dimension then it will fit into a standard five by seven envelope but I just think it's so much fun so yeah let me show you how to make this. Okay so I use that lovely turquoise color and that is the I want to say tonic studio one I'll link it if I can find it and today's is going to be this pink one here so I've done the balloons I've done lots of stuff because it's pretty easy I'll just talk you through what I've done the supplies I've used I use the woodware one-liners it's a great stamp set again I'll try and share if it's still available but I just use the happy birthday to you there at the top then that's my confetti embossing folder really nice especially against that mirrored cardstock or the holography you can just really see it does show up pretty well and then the balloons it's this one here it's a facetition balloon dies and I use the yay I just cut off the the bottoms there just so it literally just says the yay in the middle of the rosette so that's what I use for that and that comes with these four balloons you know these three big balloons there's four all together this one here is an old dovecraft one along with this little one here but any balloons will work but that if you've got the dovecraft one that's the one that I've used there and then my paper pad is this one I love it I've used it so much it's just such a fun happy cut and paper pattern I think because of all the colors it has it goes with so many different card you know playing card colors and this is the party paper pad so again I will link that one okay so card size you want here is 9 by 7 along the 9 inch side you want to score at one and a half three six and seven and a half okay so that's all the scoring with your scoreboard keep this well I'm gonna use a stylus I'll use my metal one and a ruler okay so what we want to do next when I open this up we've got score lines from the top here down to the bottom and then the top here down to the bottom and again so that's what we want to work on next so you've got your hold it up you've got this large area here in the center but you just want to score from the top left across this one and a half score line down to this one here and then from this bottom left for example up to that one so you do in the crosses just within the two kind of sections here and then the two sections here so I'm gonna lay my ruler down I like to use the smaller end of my stylus lay the stylus down first on the corner there and then move the ruler until you get it lined up with this bottom score line so you're going across that one and a half one down to the three okay and then again I'm gonna go from this side what I'll do is I'll pop a template on my blog with a picture of this because I know a lot of you do like the templates just so you can you know you're definitely sure on where you're scoring so again hold this one up for you so I hold that up and it catches the light there we go so you can see that's a good one you can see all the score lines there's the one and a half in the three I've just done my cross within the first two panels there and then down here you can see so all of that middle section that large bit is all empty and then just go down go across those other two okay so that now is all of our scoring done now we want to do some it's folding so what you're gonna do is just create valley folds make sure you get nice points on the two diagonal score lines that you've just done so both of those score lines I've just done and now valley folds so again so and then the one and a half will become mountain as you do it you kind of pop it like so and again with that one just kind of get it right down into the corner there so you can see valley valley but mountain folds for these pieces here okay and then these this one here needs to become a mountain so that then folds behind like so and then you can push all that down and these kind of pop out they look like a wing it reminded me a bit of a spaceship I haven't yet decided what I'm gonna call it obviously you would have seen already now so it would go into the title but as I'm doing it still I'm not sure it did remind me of something out of Star Wars just make sure everything's burnished well okay so now you can see it stays in its shape and then you can just open it up slightly and it will stand up really nicely so now we just need to do some decoration and our mats and layers so I have already stuck down this one here so that's going to go in the center like so and this one measures so the holographic is two and three quarters by six and three quarters and then you'll have two and a half by six and a half with the pattern paper and that's going to stick on there like so then I've got this piece which is going to go on the other side for you to be able to write on and that's two and three quarters by six and three quarters again if you want to do mats and layers you can but I'm just going to keep that plain white and then those are going to be for the sides but we'd go through these little pieces you can see there where I've embossed them and then I've got my white mat layer okay so you want four pieces that are one and a quarter by three I'm using the white and then you want four pieces for your layer which is one by two and five eighths okay these pieces for the sides are one and a quarter by six and a quarter and they're going to be these larger triangles here so first of all get my trimmer and lay this out just so you can make sense of it all so I'm going to cut one of these from one corner top corner down to the bottom so I'm doing top left down to bottom right okay like so and now one of them will go down here it's going to go with the white which I'll do in a minute and one will go up there so you see now how that works so then this next one I would have to do well I could do the same again and then it go on that side so I'm going to do top left to bottom right so now that one can go over that side and then down here so they were top left to bottom right these ones are going to have to be top right to bottom left that one can go there and that one can go there so again top right bottom left and then that one can go just there and that one can go there and then with the white it doesn't matter because it's plain and it's you know double-sided it's the same I can just cut them all top left and I can just flip them over so it's you know it really doesn't matter but that will now have one of those like so you see there that one and then I can have that one there so I'm going to cut all of those but if you're again if you've got a pattern then you'll have to do two one way and two another way but I can just again flip all those over so they're going to go there okay and then that's all that ready with these two pieces here you just want to mark halfway I'm just going to use my stylus to put a little indent in the mirrored card so you want to do at one and three eighths because that's halfway so one and three eighths and one and three eighths and then you're just going to trim again if it's plain like mine then it won't matter you can have two the same so you can just flip them around but if it's pattern or directional you'll need to make sure you check in it all when you you know on the card for the areas that you want make sure you check in that it's all going to be in the right direction now that one is going to go in there and then that one can go in there so you've got these pieces all left over as well which I didn't check actually would they become the same yes they would so there you go if you want to use them as your mat letter so they're going to be too big for me so I'm using the white anyway but I didn't think about that but you do have two so you could use them to fill those spaces so I know lots of you watch the tutorials first so they go that might save you some card stop I'm now going to go and get all of this stuck down okay so that's everything stuck down also you do have that panel but I just decided I don't personally I don't think it's needed because you never really going to see it you know when it's open and it's displayed it's just not really well I guess it's up to you I haven't but if you do want to then you can and then by all then I would imagine you're going to have you know another four corners so they would become matte layers so it's up to you there is a way if you don't want to do that white I think if I hadn't done the white and I done holographic as the mat layer then maybe I would have realized that and then done it that way but I like the white and I wanted the embossed layer to be in the holographic which I think looks really nice with the confetti there but anyway that's all done so now it's just to finish off so the rose there is just a piece of one inch by 12 you can have it slightly shorter 11 you know a for length and then I just scored at every quarter of an inch concertina fold and then just stick it together I always use hot glue I just use the circle punches there but I'm going to pop that one same I'm literally just going to copy that I love it I think the balloon positioning everything so all the balloons I've already gone and done I've put a little bit of hot glue and some of this lovely string here it's gold which obviously I would have I guess preferred silver but actually gold and silver does look great mixed together and I think just because there's so much shine and you know sparkle with this card I think it looks really nice it's just so tactile it's great so I'm now going to position all this down I am using my hot glue gun there so that's warming up nicely and yeah I'm going to pop it on high speed get this all stuck down and then I'll finish it off with the glossy accents okay so I've stuck all that down so I've got my sentiment here and I've popped it on two lots of foam so it's quite dimensional because I want to kind of bring all these together I'm just going to pop this flat just so it's a bit easier pull them nice and taut and then you'll see where I put my foam I've put just one I've left this gap basically when my finger is so that can go over this piece here so what I want to do is decide where I want it so it's going to go there and then with my hot glue I'm just going to just lay a little bead of glue just over all of them and just hold that there and then with my other hand I'm just going to take the backing off of this very carefully make sure that's straight which it is still dry and so I'm not going to move it away yet I want to keep it up nice and taut still while that glue dries so and then I can just trim off the ends those are a little bit longer should have gone a bit higher but it it still looks great I still love it you can see now they're all full flat so then the glossy accent so those of you that have never seen this before this is the glossy accents it's an adhesive but lots people use it to create shine on their cards so you will often see me use it just to add a little bit extra and also on lots of the underwater cards it's great if you want to create like bubble effect I always keep a pin in mind just because it does kind of clog up sometimes and the trick with this is when you lay it down keep it down if you keep lifting it up you're going to create air bubbles in it and if you do get any air bubbles if you lightly blast it with your heat tool it will get rid of them but now I'm just going to get it going it comes out cloudy in areas don't worry it's just where it's thicker it will all dry clear and you don't always have to squeeze it just kind of move it around but I'm keeping the nozzle within the liquid so as not to get air caught up in there and just going to move it around elf leveling as well so it will kind of find its place leave that all around once you've got a load down there I'm not squeezing it anymore so there's no air coming out so I can just move it around you can see I've covered that whole balloon now you need to keep it nice and straight or flat because it will you know kind of drop but I'm now going to just do all the rest you could do them before you pop them down if you want but I find it easier to do these things when they're all in place okay so that is the card finished I just pop my pin back in that and then I'll just bring that one up so you can see there we go it's still leveling out a little bit probably join it up there actually you can always just come in it needs to be joined there we go sometimes when you hit it in the light there we go started to smooth out a bit more but I just love love the finish especially on balloons I think it looks really really good so that is the finished card so you can see just how fun that is I love all the color careful not to touch it there but it all folds flat like I said it would fit in my box envelope so they would have popped up along the tutorial link them at the end as well but I think it's lots and lots of fun so that's the pink and then there is the turquoise so thank you for watching as always I will say it but everything will be linked below please check out these tutorials that come up here as well if I remember I'll put the double diamond so you can see the other version
