 Hey everybody it's Sam at Mixed Up Crowd, thank you for watching my tutorial today I'm going to be showing you how I've made this really fun pop-up box card with Santa falling down the chimney. This isn't my idea I actually saw this on Pinterest and I'll link the person or the the picture that I saw I'll link it on my blog. I don't believe there was a YouTube video or at least I didn't actually look for one because I know how to make the box cards and the Santa's feet are using my new stamp set that I have released and all of these pieces here are from Props and other stamp sets which I will be sharing with you along with the stencil and the papers it's all part of my new release so I hope you enjoy the video. I also show you how to make an envelope because the size of this is slightly larger than I usually do but hopefully you'll pick up lots of tips along the way so let me show you how to make it. Okay so first of all you're going to want your cardstock to make the base so this is eleven and a half by eight so just slightly cut down a piece of A4 so along the long side you want to score at two and three quarters five and a half eight and a quarter and eleven inches and then along this short side you're just going to score it halfway so at four inches all the way down okay so there's all the scoring so you should have four rectangles at the top and then this thin tab here four along the bottom and again that thin tab that's now already so that's all the scoring you need to do now it's up to you you may want to fold and burnish now if you're not going to be doing any decoration on here I'm now going to stencil this otherwise just leave it flat which I'm going to do so okay so I'm going to be doing a little bit of stenciling on mine first of all so with the half inch tab on my right hand side this one here the second rectangle in from the left will become the one that's on the very front so that's the one that I want to start my stenciling on so this stencil here's my new stencil and you get the brickwork and you get this roof detail or it could be mermaid's scale you know fish scales mermaid's tail so you can use it for underwater themes as well but you can turn it out this way give me a nice pattern it's also a repeat pattern so you can move it along which you'll see in a moment so but I'm going to start in this one and I'm going to overlap the stencil over each of the score lines now I'm going to have a bit of snow at the top because this is all going to get cut away as well we're only going to keep one of these pieces so I'm not too worried for the minute but I want to get this nice and straight and I just want to come up a little bit now I can see through the stencil so I can see the bottom of the cardstock here so I'm just going to have a little bit of the original color showing through along the bottom there and I've got roughly an equal amount overhanging into each of those other rectangles so tack it down if you want but I'm going to be moving this along so I'm going to just hold it but I'm using the vintage photo to stress oxide I have used mine a lot so possibly is a little bit dry but we should still be able to make it work so I'm just going to hold this in place and just start inking over that okay I think I'm happy with that so now when I lift it off you get that really cool brickwork but now this is what I mean by it being a repeat pattern so I can move it along and these will slot in to these sections here should just need to line up again I'm going to use the bottom I'm just going to wipe that off just so I can see see through it there because if I line it up again the same before then I know that the brickwork is all going to line up but I think that's about right and that brings me right up to the very end of the card there so now I'm just going to go and continue really pleased with that I'm not worried about this joining that piece up because that's actually sat perfectly on that half inch tab so that's all going to be hidden but I'm really pleased with that it hasn't gone right to the top but that doesn't matter because I'm going to be putting white over it okay so now we want to fold and burnish all of those score lines okay so it's going to come together and we want our fold to be mine's going to be at the back left hand side so there's that one that I said the second one in that's going to be the front so when you bring it round my join is going to be on the back left so what we now want to do is cut we want to keep this one here we want to cut all this out okay so I'm going to cut away the score line so I'm cutting to the right hand side a bit all along here and then we'll look at the side okay and then you also want to remove the tab on this side here okay and you'll see there that joins up perfectly now what I probably should have said is don't score all the way through there so when I do score that last one I will just edit in only score down to the third score line it will just weaken it slightly it's going to be okay because I'm actually putting pat and paper over this so mine will end up you know being strong again anyway but just to stop you actually want that to stay completely upright like so okay then I've got this piece here which is three and three quarters by one inch and along the three and three quarter side you want to score out half an inch and at three and a quarter so you've got a half inch tab on each side just fold and burnish now you could have more of these if you want I would say you could have probably up to three of them in this one but I'm just having the one because the only thing I've got popping out is Santa's feet but if you've made these kind of pop-up box cards before then you know that you can have quite a lot of things in here okay so what we want to do is attach this one so first of all because it's only the one I'm going to put the whole thing together but I'll link in my other box cards because if you've got a few I've got a good way of doing it whilst it's flat like kind of open like this you attach them all on one side and then you lie them flat add the glue and then just fold it over and then when you open it they're all perfectly lined up but because it is just that one it's just easier to do it this way so I'm just going to add my glue so like so fold one off over with that tab and then the other one and I've done pretty well lining up my brickwork because you can see it pretty much joins there so I'm pleased with that and I'm just going to fold it back that way so now that's all done okay then all you need to do is add your glue onto each of these and then I'm just going to pop it roughly in the middle you could bow it out slightly like that just so it goes in I'm going to keep it right up to the top and then if you just focus on one side and just really stick that down and then when you go to fold it flat the other one will you know stick just make sure you fold in that way you know it's perfectly lined up but just roughly in the middle there and then we've got our box shape now if you want to reduce this you can if you feel that's going to be too big for maybe with the the design you're doing then do trim it down but because I've got all of these elements coming in the ho ho ho and then by the time his feet stick up I think it's quite a nice size like I said it is a taller card something a little bit different but you can easily change this you can certainly shrink all of this down if you want to so now we can start putting everything together now I've got my decorative paper to go over the top here but I'd already cut it to the exact size which was two and three quarters by four so you can see how that's going to go there but because I do just want to reinforce this I've got this piece here which is two and three quarters by eight and I'm actually going to slot that in there just to keep it upright so if you have done what I've done like I've done and just scored all the way through that's just a quick and easy way to put some strength back into it again but like I said I will edit in to just score down to the third score line you may want to do this even if you're maybe doing it using a lighter weight cardstock so you know it's entirely up to you okay so now with this piece like I said two and three quarters by four or you could do two and three quarters by eight if you want it to go all the way down and now I'm going to stick that one onto here that's the exact size I don't want to border with mine I want it to completely cover that top there and this is using the new paper pad that I have and it's the perfect pop-ups one and it's this beautiful scene here it's so nice I think it goes perfectly with the craft card okay so that's that then I have gone ahead and I've cut and coloured all of these pieces I have lots of them all in a tray ready to go when I do my videos and just when I've been making my own Christmas cards so these are all I've got all the party props there's the Christmas props which I've been using so this all comes from these two stamp sets here along with this one here so this is the Christmas party props so I'm using the ho ho ho which is that one there and then the gingerbread the parcel the candy cane Rudolph's treats from another one the naughty but nice and my favourites so all of those there are all from this stamp set then I'm using obviously the Santa one because we need his boots so that's them here and I'm using Santa's here and then on the back I'm going to be stamping Santa Claus is coming to town and there's the Santa's here and then these ones here the sack and Rudolph's treats and then this is from the actually I have used another stamp set how many stamp sets can I use it's this one here and it's the snowman and Elsa and it's just the holly but I'm not sure if I might use it on the back with the sentiment anyway so that's everything that I'm using so now I want to attach actually I do the boots last so let's do the bottom area here oh actually no what I want to do first is the snow so I have a sheet of copy paper and what I'm going to do is if you tear towards yourself with your right hand so I'm going to do like that and just kind of let it go I'm just going to add a little bit of shape I've done about an inch here I don't matter if it goes a bit thinner in places and I won't be having all of this because I only need to cover three sides because the back well if you want to cover the back you can but it's going to be something like that but with that raw edge that you get it gives it a really nice snow effect and I might add some sparkle on here but I only need it to go in fact what I will do is probably start from there and then work my way around because that's still yeah that still looks nice so I'm going to add my glue and just do it bit by bit and I'm just going to continue to wrap it around just hugging the top like so it's just copy paper so you don't need to worry about putting score lines into it you can just fold it and then I'm just going to come off the edge there and then I can just trim that off now I think that looks really really effective like that a lot so now I'm going to bring in some foam pads and I'm going to attach Santa's sack first of all I'm going to fold probably fold it that way so then I could have the sack that side yeah so whatever side you decide to fold it you can have it over kind of going over the edge if you do it that side and then fold it this way it's going to come out even more it won't fit in your envelope so I'm going to over hang it slightly on that side and then I can start adding in a few other bits so we'll pop the present here and then we'll put the Santa's treats there and then I can kind of position these just in between those because of the foam tape that I've got there's the naughty and nice I've also got the little gingerbread man I've got the candy cane I'm just wondering whether actually to have the naughty and nice kind of sticking up here because I think that could look quite good so let's get Santa's feet down everybody knows how long that was already how long this kind of stuff takes me it's always the decoration always takes me ages but you've got them like so so they want to just attach just the very tops so that's how it will look so I'm going to pop a little bit of my quick grab glue here and I just realized I stamped these onto obviously that looks like the penguin there so ideally you wouldn't want that but never mind slightly angled out there yeah there's the penguins face oh well and then I'm going to have it so so now we've got his feet and then yeah let's have a little look I'm just wondering well the ho ho ho so again it's going to go that way so I need to keep that really within just wondering now whether I go that way because then I can over hang it all that way instead yeah I'm going to go that way instead because I do want it coming off that side but I haven't gone over that much there so I can still change that over this is what happens you see but hopefully it's helping you when you go to do yours so we're going to have that one just like so okay before I stick any more of that down I'm going to add some glitter okay so I'm using the Arteza Snow White and it's really nice so it's got like a bluey kind of like back colour to it so it gives it that cold snowy look so I'm just going to cover this you can see it there looks really cool anyway just you know with that effect but I am just going to spread it out a little bit just so it gets a nice covering I've got this all over now look at all that sparkle from the snow it looks so good can you see the blue there I'm not sure how well possibly not but it is there okay so now I'm going to stick this one down on the back so this was two and three quarters by three and three quarters so it will give me just a little border of that brickwork that I've done like so and then I guess I could pop that there maybe that one there if I write small whoever I end up sending this one to but I just think it adds some nice detail to the back there as well and you could put the white piece all the way up there if you wanted to you know you might be this could be going to a work colleague and you might have a few people signing on the back of it there I'm just going to trim a little bit off the back of that one as well okay so I'm taking off the Santas here because it's pretty obvious that Santa's here and I've got the ho ho ho on the front and then I've got that nice sentiment on the back but I really want to use these in here so I'm just going to add oh I'd usually use hot glue but this will be fine I'm just going to pop that one in there I know there'll be lots of you watching going no you should have put that one there you should have put that one there but but it is what it is I'm going to go for this look now that is the card all finished I think it's turned out really nice so now I want to make my envelope so because when this folds flat it will be a six by eight size card so slightly different but it is on the envelope punch board so the six by eight is the card size so it's the second to last one there it's telling me I need a piece of card stock that's 11 by 11 and you want to do your first score line of four and seven eights now if you don't have an envelope punch board there are tutorials on YouTube showing you how you can make envelopes without them but it's a really useful tool I've had this for years and it's just one of those if I was to say to someone starting off what you know kind of court tools do you need this is definitely one that I would recommend so four and seven eights is the first score line so I'm going to pop this in and I'm going to line up the end here to the four and seven eighths I'm going to punch and score okay now mine doesn't go right off the end because I don't have the extender arm because this is an old one but it's fine I can join it in a moment I then also then like to do that same score line on the opposite side so again four and seven eighths punch and I find I always get perfect results by doing it that way now all I want to do is on the other two sides pop it in and I'm going to ignore all of this now I'm going to slide this along until this score line hits the corner of this notch here and then punch and now that will join up perfectly in the corner and then again this one here pop it in slide it along that notch there until it joins up here and that score line hits the corner score punch and now you will have those notches all perfectly placed so that's everything there and then you just want to fold and burnish papers this is from an old scrapbooking pad that I had so it's this inside kind of distressed look but now when I fold in those you've got your envelope if you want to make it a bouncy envelope which this probably would be because there's quite a lot of bulk to it I always sit the card in first so you'll see now I can sit that in there and it sits perfectly I then bring in the sides and add my tape and then close it and it will give you the room that that card needs rather than you trying to make it first and then squeezing it into that area so I'm just going to run my tape I'm just going to take the backing off this had no bulk to it you wouldn't have to keep the card in here and you don't have to keep it in here while you stick these bits on I'm just doing it this way but now I can bring over the sides and then bring the envelope up there to close it now if I take that out this is what I mean by bouncy oh I've still got glue on my snow there okay it seems some of this was still a little bit wet so I've just left it for a minute but it will now slide in obviously just be careful whatever you have with your embellishments but that will now close up and you have that ready to post so I'll just pop a little white sticker on there I tend to put my envelopes inside a padded envelope as well if I'm posting them but I think a lot of these cards I'll be posting by hand anyway but now when I take that out close that one up and this is what I mean by bouncy can you see it bounces because it gives you that room that you need now we have a very fun pop-up ox card with Santa falling down at the chimney I think it's turned out really well so I hope you've enjoyed this one I hope you picked up some tips along the way and yeah thank you for watching I'll link everything that I've used in the description box below I'll pop up here some more pop-up box cards so you may be interested to check those ones out and I'll be back very soon with another video thanks for watching bye
