 Hi everybody, it's Sam from Mixed Up Craft. Thank you for watching my tutorial today. I'm going to be showing you how to put together the 5x7 version of the slider cards from my new Super Sliders collection. So this is how it will look. You can use the zigzag mats and layers or you can use the plain. You actually get a lot of different mats and layers in this one. And this will create this kind of makeup palette look. So when it folds flat, you've got all your makeup palettes kind of colours there. And then when you open it, it will reveal your message and you could have a gift card on here. You can stamp other sentiments. It's entirely up to you. Now also you do get, there is a stamp set, which is this one here. This is the makeup stamp set. And you have these palettes here, which will stamp for you. So if you would rather have the palette here, which I have on a 6x6 version, which I'll be sharing on the channel, you can stamp and colour them all. Or if you want to use the dies, then you have them in the die set here. So whether you prefer stamping or if you prefer die cutting, you can create a really nice card. You also get the little dropped earrings. You get the eyeshadow little palette there. You've got the blush brush and you've got little perfume bottles, which is what I'm going to do today. So I'm not going to make the actual makeup palette. I'm going to decorate it slightly differently. I just really want to show the mechanism and how it all works. So it can be displayed like this. Or if you just fold it up, if that person maybe doesn't have a lot of room, they can also display it just as a top folding card there. And I've just stamped inside Happy Birthday. So let me show you how to make it. Okay, so the papers I'm using are from the Candy Paper Pads. This is a brand new paper pad within this collection. And I'm using this gorgeous blue here. So you get the blue, plain blue, and then you get the blue foiling, which I've pulled out here. And you can just see just how wonderful that is. I love the gold against that blue. So I'm going to show you exactly what I've diced up, but that's the paper pad. And you get all different other foils. You've got that rose gold, which is beautiful. I've used that on a circle card. And then you've got the turquoise against the rose gold there, which looks really nice. You have, again, there's that blue with the gold. And then I think I used the silver on another card. Yeah, I've used both the silvers on other cards, which again, you'll see featured. And also I've taken lots of photos, which are over on my Facebook group as well. So that's the paper pad. So what you want to do, so I'll show you all the dies you get here. So you get 18 dies in this set. And what you want to do, so I've already got my five by seven card blank. Okay, so that's just a shot brought one. If you want to make up your own, you'll need a piece of 10 by seven. And along the 10 inch side, you just want to score it five inches. Hold it in half and you've got your card there. Then what I've done, so you'll see also you have this large die. So you could cut your card shape from that. If you want to, all you can have that is your first mat layer. But I've actually gone in and I've done this one here. And I have die cut it, you'll see there in that lovely foiled striped paper. And then what I've also done is I've cut a piece in white because I'm using the gold foiling here. I want to do some heat embossing. So you'll see on the glasses and I'll talk you through them in a minute, but they've actually been heat embossed using the stamp. So because if I was just using a normal ink to stamp, I would say you don't need this second piece. If you've got a white card base, you can just stamp directly onto the card base. But because I'm using embossing powder, and when you add your heat to a card stock, it's going to warp, even if it's very hot and you don't keep it on the card stock for long, it will still warp slightly. So if you have it on a separate piece, you can then attach that piece to here with then this piece over the top. It will all make sense when I put it together in a moment. But that way, your main card blank isn't warped. And by sticking it onto that flat piece, it will flatten everything out for you. So again, we'll talk more about that. But if you do want to do heat embossing, then I would suggest that you cut this again for that to sit over the top. Then I've also cut the mechanism part. So this is the pull-out piece. Now what I mentioned in some of the lives when I was doing the demos with this, is it's quite easy to see what part is the mechanism, what part are all your mats and layers. Now you'll see here, all your mats and layers will sit perfectly inside that largest rectangle. These two here, if I take that away, you'll see this one here, this is the mechanism. And it's like this across the three sizes, because we've got the six by six square, the six by six circle, and then the five by seven zigzag. And you'll have these three rectangles. The smallest rectangle will always face you. And again, I'll show you that in a moment. But that looks obscure, you know, it's not just a standard rectangle. And it wouldn't fit correctly in these. Okay, and you'll see that that fits with this one. Again, this is a rectangle, but if I was, they don't sit properly, that one doesn't sit within the zigzag. This one here, it doesn't sit properly. Okay, it wouldn't fit within all of that. So when you get them, if you did ever, you know, kind of mix them up and you were a bit concerned, just lay them all down. And the ones that fit perfectly within the large rectangle, you know, all your mats and layers, and your mechanism are those two there. And you'll see they fit nicely within each other. So what I've gone and done is I've cut this piece here using that mechanism. And this is the pullout tabs. This is the one that you could stick a gift card to. We're going to stamp on and all that kind of stuff. So I'll leave that one there. And then we're going to need that mechanism. So I'll take that one out now. And then what I've also gone and done is I've cut these pieces, which will make a bit more sense when I actually cut the mechanism. But these are these smallest mats and layers here. And that's what I'm going to build up my kind of little pop-up piece. And it's going to have these glasses with the glamour and everything on them there. Okay. So first of all, you want to grab your nice pattern piece that you cut using whatever the die is you chose. Like I said, I've chose this zigzag. And we're going to sit our mechanism inside here. Now you want it to be closer to the bottom part than to the top. But what's going to happen is this will be behind here and then we'll be able to pull that up like so. Okay. And we have a little pull, finger pull actually. Let me take that off. It's this one here. And it's this little kind of arrow shape so that it will fit within these zigzags and it just keeps everything looking nice and neat and tidy. Now when you do lay this down, you want to make sure that you've got a tape that's going to fit. So I've got a couple of sizes here. So if I bring this down, you need to make sure that you can get a tape that runs along the bottom there and then obviously up the sides. And I've just been finding this thin one here, which is not, there was 1 eighth of an inch, works really, really well. But also if you've got any of your kind of precision nibs glue applicators here, you can get a very thin bead and you'd be able to put a thin bead of glue around there as well. But with the liquid glue, just be careful because you don't want to kind of, once it sticks together and it spreads out, you don't want it to interfere with the mechanism. So just a little few kind of little tips there, just things to kind of look out for when you're putting these cards together. So I've got some tape here. I'm just going to take some of the stickiness off because I'm using the foil paper here. You know, anything sticky on it, you peel it away, it might lift it. But what I've also been saying is when you do kind of tack this in place, or you might have a magnetic shim, that will, you know, usually hold the dies. Always stick anything within that middle rectangle. So you've got your bottom, middle and top because this one is the one that you're going to cover. So if you were to kind of lift any of the pattern, or the paper, it's not going to matter because you're going to cover it. So I've just put a little piece there. And then I'm just going to grab another piece of tape, again just remove some of that stickiness. And I'm going to add this piece. Now it will sit within the centre kind of mountain there. So you've got all these valleys and mountains. That middle one is where you want to sit that. Now it's up to you how kind of high up you have it, you can have it overhanging, you can have it really far down. I'm going to have it about there. And you want to make sure, if I turn it over, it's just going to cut. You can see the cut lines there. So you want to sit that so that it's going to cut right within those valleys, either side. And if you're a little bit off you can always snip it so don't, you know, again don't worry too, too much but just try your best to get that in the middle there. And again I'm just going to hold that in place. So now that's all ready for me to run through my die machine and cut. Okay so that cut like butter, the actual finger pull has fallen out completely. And you can see now where that is cut down really nicely within that section there. Okay and then I'm just going to pull this away carefully like so. And because I took a lot of the sticking this off actually it's not lifted any of that cardstock at all. If you've got any low-tack washi tapes as well you know all that kind of stuff works. So now we've got our mechanism. Okay so you'll see it's cut three sides but it stayed attached and then it's left you these score lines. So the one furthest away from you you want to fold so it creates a valley fold. The one closest, the middle one that then becomes a mountain and then the one closest to becomes a valley. So what you will have is this effect and you can see there where we've got that slider. Okay and then that will now, if you want using embossing powder that would go on to here and then you could just move it up and with stump you know within the space. But because I'm going to be doing some heat embossing I'm now going to bring this piece in and I'm going to line this up over the top perfectly. Okay don't worry about the finger pull bit there or anything because you're going to that will be hidden. So lay it down so it does because you're going to match this up when you stick it onto the card as well. Okay like so I've got a pencil and you're just going to move this up about halfway if you want it higher up you can go quite far back with this. So you've got quite a lot of space there to be able to stamp you know do the the little palette if you want to do that it's entirely up to you. But I'm going to have it about halfway I've got a sentiment that I'm going to stamp here and I'm just going to mark the pencil mark very lightly so you can rub it out just the four sides so that when you take it away you can see there where you want to stamp your sentiment. Okay and then I'm going to stamp my message so for this one here I'm going to have the glamour dye which I'll again talk about that in the moment that's going to come out the top so I think I'm just going to have Hello Fabulous or I may have where's the other one that I like. So you don't look a day over Fabulous because there's the glasses so I think I'm going to use that one and then there's the little stars which I've used a lot because they're great little fillers but you've got the XOXO this is the makeup again that stamp set which is where I've used the glasses so what I've done is I stamped the glasses and then heat emboss them and then in the matching dye set here so these two work together you've got the dye there to cut them out or you could just cut them in gold card stock and they would look really nice and then I just cut them again in a gold mirrored card and then paper pieced it so that they've you know the actual kind of the lens there you know they've got that gold on them so I think that sentiment will go quite well but like I said I've got the hearts here so I'm going to pull those out and I've got the stars and you've got the lips let's do that as well so I'm just going to prep the area there to just make sure you get all of the any kind of oils any static little powder pouch there will work really well and then I'm just going to pick up my sentiment lay that one down there perfect and then let's do lips and then maybe I'll leave the hearts for just use the stars just to fill in a couple of little areas let's do there there there I think we'll do okay then I've got some gold embossing powder here there we go that looks perfect I think I'm a little bit crooked with my sentiment but I can live with that I think it'll be fine so now the key to heat embossing is you want to heat this up for a good 30 40 seconds before you apply you want that to be piping hot so that it will instantly melt that embossing powder and it will therefore mean that you're not having the heat on the card for that long you're literally going on instantly melting it and then moving it along the card and then taking it off the less time this has actually on the card stock the less warping you'll get okay so now I've got my heat embossed sentiment and there's a little bit of warping can you see just there but that will easily flatten once we then stick it onto our card blank and I'm going to use the Kalao glue as well because that will really help it so next we can stick this down into the center of the card blank because we've got the zigzag I'm just going to pop it all on there and I'm just going to go in just not really squeezing the glue and just moving the glue I'd already popped down just up into those little kind of points just so that that all sticks down as well a little bit more in the middle there again make sure the cards opening the right way and I can just I'm going to bring it down just a little bit because you want your pull tab to sit at the top there like so and then I'm just going to flip it over and just hold that in place and it will completely flatten out again and it's just a really good way to be able to do that heat embossing but without it you don't want a rocky card especially with anything that's got a mechanism because it's just going to interfere with that and not you know allow it to slide so freely okay so that's now all ready for this to go back over the top and we're going to put our pull tab in between there as well you can see that sentiment will reveal when we lift it so it looks really nice so I also just want to do a little bit of heat embossing on this one now in the sentiment set you have a little die here that's got your pull so I'm going to take that one out and I'm just going to just put a little bit of the powder along the top there and then what you want to do is sit this one now the bottom of this the very edge of this needs to line up with the bottom of that piece you see there just popping it in and you want to make sure that you've got an even amount so it should hit the very first valley see my pull piece is just sitting just in there and you want to make sure that it's nice and flush with the flat part there the bottom and then you can see where you need to stamp your pull so again just touch that so I'm just going to go back over all the powder rubs off so don't worry about that and then I'm just going to pop my pull a little bit of my Versa mark on there and then I'm just going to stamp my pull there we go and I can take that away I'm going to add some that's already on the paper there tap off the excess and now I'm just going to heat set that okay so that's all done I've also cut a white piece stuck it on the back again just to give it that strength and also if you've done any heat embossing it's not going to warp and then I've got this glamour now if you're going to put a gift card in here then on this section then you won't need to do this piece but I'm going to just have mine pop up and it's going to have a glamour so I've just got my glue here and I'm just going to cover this if you've got any double sided sticky sheets and you could die cut it using that so the whole thing's a sticker because obviously these are quite delicate but they give such a nice effect and they suit this collection having these kind of nice joined up script and then I'm just going to pay that one down there so and then we're going to flip this over and you want to add some tape to this bottom one here okay so just that smallest rectangle at the bottom of that mechanism that's where you want to put your tape first and then we're going to take the backing off and you're going to sit it now what you can do is line it up with your pull because you know that that's in place and then line up so if you kind of bring up this and then you can line up the bottom line up your pull tab pull word that's what I mean you can see you want that to run flush at the bottom so if you lift that piece up as you stick that down it'd be easy to do and now you can see how that's going to work okay next flip it over and you can see the space you have for your tape so I know this thin tape will fit around here but like I said if you have got one of these you can get a very thin bead and you can go in all the little zigzags here and you can stick it down that way if you want but I'm just going to use this tape here okay like so and then again just take the backing off and then all you need to do is line this up with that white zigzag piece so I'm just going to pop that side down along the bottom and then just finish along the side there okay and then you've got your pull tab so you just pull it up and it will reveal your lovely message there and that glamour or a gift card which looks really nice as well so now I just want to finish it off and it will all fit into your envelope with some decoration here so I'm going to add some glue to this middle rectangle you don't want to put anything on the bottom one you can use double sided tape here if you want but I'm just going to use this it's a bit quicker plus it's very strong so it will just strengthen the card and then I've cut two of these again just gives it a bit of strength because this is a paper in the paper pad so it works on its own anyway but I'm going to sit that one it will sit perfectly within the width of that mechanism piece so again if I now pull that up so you don't want to make sure you don't stick anything on this piece it's just got to go on that section then you've got that free all right and test it as well because if it goes past that school line it's just going to ruin the whole thing it's just not going to work and then I've got this one here which is going to be my layer to go over the top so I'm just going to lay that one down so and then with the glasses I've already put some foam on the backs there so they can go in the center and then I have cut the earrings I'm actually going to probably add some pearls to these and you can stick all of these little embellishments around the bottom so I'm going to just add a few more bits to them and you'll see that in a moment and I'm also going to just heat emboss the happy birthday sentiment here you've also got hello beautiful fabulous friend life is short by the shoes glamorous friend there are so many in fact I might do the glamorous friend because it says glamour and then it says you don't look a day over and then inside I'm going to have the happy birthday so I'm going to get all of that done and then I'll show you the finished card okay so there is the finished card so you can see I've just heat embossed the glamorous friend sentiment and just stuck that on the side there I've also gone and die cut the kind of just well I die cut it again in the glitter white card but then I just cut each piece out so you still see the gold underneath and it's just a really nice addition I just love those little earrings you can see closer up there your perfume bottles and then again you just pull your tab and it will reveal your lovely sentiment that dye at the top there so it can be as I mentioned before displayed like this or if you slide all that back down you open up the card and then inside I've just embossed the happy birthday use some of that blue paper so it keeps everything matching and then it can display be displayed like so I think it looks lovely and then there's that one again to give you that other look using all of the kind of makeup palette dyes there to create that look and you can see the matte layer is bigger I've added another piece whereas this one I've just used that one there and the smaller ones so there's you know there's lots of ways to build this together and you know create your own styles really so I love them I think they're really really good they're really fun and I like that they fit into that five by seven envelope so thank you for watching I hope that helps you know those that have purchased this dye set how to put it together and I'll be sharing more tutorials in the future so thanks for watching and I'll see you soon bye
