 Hey everybody it's Sam at Mixed Up Craft, thank you for watching my tutorial today. So I'm striking while the iron is hot and the impossible card that I shared for five days ago is just doing amazingly and you are loving it and I cannot believe the amount of messages I have received with you showing me your versions and I have loved it. I've had quite a giggle with some of you and it's just been really really lovely so thank you for that, I appreciate you sending them and keep them coming because I do, I love it. So what I've done, there are so many cool ways to adapt this card and one of the things that I've played around with is this and I'm calling it the triple twist impossible card. Now I've mounted it on this base piece here but it's optional and I'll talk you through that through the tutorial it's just because this has been cut into more times than the original one which is this one here, this is the one that I shared okay, this one's quite strong you know you even with that gap there it holds itself really well but I just found when I done this one that it's just a little bit more flimsy however once you add this kind of banner piece that I've put on the back and this sentiment here it does start to become a bit stronger so yeah that's that one here I'm using all of the a lot of you will know that I subscribe to Making Cards Magazine and this April's edition you've got a CD-ROM or a free download with 161 different images and backgrounds all sorts it's amazing I've made so many of them I've done Facebook live with them and stuff so I thought I the other night I sat down and I fussy cut all of these little bottles and I thought it would work really well on this particular style because you have these three pieces that stick up as opposed to the one on the one that I showed you and then I just cut them down to the height that I needed them you could put something over the back of that if you didn't want it but you don't see it the idea is that's what they see obviously um and yeah and I just thought it worked really well as a masculine card it's really fun it's interactive and guys like those kind of things so that's why I've done it so yeah so this one here I'll share all the links to their magazine because they do do an online digital version as well and I yeah I do believe they do stock in some of the American stores Barnes and Noble I think one of them is and stuff but anyway have a look have a look online and you'll be able to find it all out there but like I said you can get it online and you can print off the downloads so this one it fits perfectly it comes in on the envelope punch board as the A8 size so it's five and a half by eight total so here I've just made an envelope if you flip it over I plan to write my sentiment on the back so I'll probably put happy birthday on that piece there and then slide it in that way that way it will just then um hide um sorry not hide it will stop all of your lovely decoration getting caught on the envelope okay so again then they'd open it up they'd obviously see the message first if that's the case and then there they have this cool card I love them they are just so much fun to make and you guys are enjoying them so much as well so leave that to one side okay so this time you're going to need a base piece that is seven and a half by five inches so it's just a little bit bigger in terms of length to the other one that we've done but you need that extra bit of length to create the three pieces that are going to pop up so I've got my template here okay and I've just gone along here this I will take a picture of and put on my blog as well because I know a lot of you do like a template and you like the other template that I done so um starting with this side here with your ruler and your pencil you basically want to mark at every one and a half inch okay so just a little pencil mark just lightly because you'll rub this out so one and a half three four and a half and six okay so you can't really see that there there you go you can just see the little markers that I've done then on the side just like before you just want to do halfway marks this is two and a half because it's a five inch piece and again rotate the whole bit round and again so we've marked on this side here and here so now on the side we haven't marked turn it so it's facing you and then you are going to mark I'm just turning this one around here you're going to do every three quarter sorry first of all you're going to do three quarters okay so just a little mark there then from that you're going to mark every one and a half again so you'll be marking at I'll do it that way then I know where I am so yeah three quarters then at two and a quarter then at three and three quarters five and a quarter and six and three quarters so you will have a three quarter piece on each edge there and that is what gives you gives you this piece here and this three quarter piece here okay so that's how it's going to look so don't knock that over so now we've done that what you want to do is just join up that middle so the halfway the two and a half and the two and a half just join again lightly with your pencil I'm using black card so I can see it even when I do it very lightly I just put a pencil mark through the middle there then I'm using my grid underneath here that three quarter inch mark I'm going to line it up with the line on my mat here and then if you've got a T ruler you wouldn't need to do it like this but basically you would just want to do a nice pencil mark so I'm just lining up my ruler so it's in line with the same line under my grid so that one matches up with this line here so just put my ruler against those two lines and that way I know I'm getting a nice straight line and all you want to do is just do it from the middle line down to that pencil mark exactly the same way that I've done the other one okay so then I'm going across to the next line because now it's all lined up with my grid and I can just again join that one up that one I'm going to get a T ruler because it's only now since doing this particular style card but it would come in very handy and the last one there okay so you can see that I've just done those like so then rotate it and do exactly the same thing so this time we've got that first one and a half one there I'm just lining that up with my grid underneath and again making sure your ruler is nice and straight just do all those pencil marks there okay okay so now we can cut up all of those lines just the same way that I did before so very neatly because this is all on show you just want to cut up each one just to that middle pencil mark okay make sure you get right up to the pencil mark okay so that's that side all done and then rotate it around and just go along and cut up all of those other marks okay so now that's all done now again exactly the same way you just want to grab your ruler and just score the score line not from the very end you just want to start from that three-quarter inch one and go to the other three-quarter inch one so just like so and this will just help when you go to fold it so all I've just done there is I've just scored starting from here so come in where that three-quarter inch one is here and just score all the way just to that one so just that middle bit there now we can just go and rub out all of those pencil marks so very carefully just go around and get rid of all of any pencil mark that you can see okay so now you should have it all ready like this so now we're going to do the three kind of twists to create that twisted look so first of all this one here you're going to twist and fold it under like so okay so it should be coming out this side now fold this one up towards you and that one will lie down flat okay so that's the first twist then the next one is going to be miss that one go to this one and again twist it under and then you've created your next one and then the last one again twist under and you will have that one and there is your three twist impossible god so as you feel it now you see what I mean it's very flimsy so we decorate it all up and then you can decide whether or not you want to add it onto this base panel so I have pre-cut one I'm not sure if I'm going to or not again see how it goes and this one measures eight by five and a half yeah eight by five and a half of course that's your envelope size okay so now decoration so I am again decorating it slightly differently I've gone and cut from a sheet of one of the download downloads from the making cards magazine all these little pieces here and these measure if I remember I think it was one and a quarter by two and a quarter I'll put my other ruler okay so yeah one and a quarter by two and a quarter I was right so they are going to go in the three in the six sorry areas like this okay and then I've cut two smaller ones which are half an inch by two and a quarter and they will go perfectly in those ones giving you this nice black little border there okay so I'm going to go ahead and get those all stuck down okay so there we have that all so already it's starting to get stronger now because it's got that second layer so then I have fussy cut more of those little bottles of different bottles of alcohol and this is an oh yeah sentiment which again is from that or from the printables and it comes with the cats so if you get it I just see here I know my mum's going to be really pleased about this as well because she subscribes to the same magazine so straight away I know she'll do this yeah it was the oh yeah which was above him but I really liked the oh yeah it's your birthday so I've cut that mounted it on some card and just fussy cut that or you can print it onto card as well so that one is going to go in the middle now I said I cut these down so that's they're basically now just there for you to kind of attach anything you want to so I'm now trimming these so there's about three quarters of an inch from the two outer ones again depends how you're decorating it and then this middle one here I can't remember how far down I came with that yeah it's about half an inch just a little bit higher like so so just hacked right into that card but it's still going to look great okay so this one I'm just going to put a little bit of glue just on the bottom there and just attach that just so you can't see any of that black behind is all in place then to keep it within its shape before I attach them I've got this piece here so these are three pieces I've made this up myself and put my wooden ruler somewhere it's my favorite one I don't mind the metal one but I tend to not grab that one all the time okay so the black piece measures seven then the white piece is six and a quarter and then the pattern piece on top is five and a half that's the length of each the bottom black one in width is one and a half the white one is one and a quarter and the pattern one is one all those measurements to be in my blog basically you just stack them on top I've put some foam in between the white and the black and just put some little flag cuts on the end there and that is going to go on the back here and as soon as you attach that it does then start to make the the card stronger so that piece is going to go on the back like so then I've just grabbed a stamp from my stash it's your birthday die cut it and then matted it with a black frame that one is going to go here and then I have die cut this little star and again die cut the star in the same pattern paper that's going to go here and then I've just got some of these little embellishments and they're going to go here now obviously they can't go there if you don't have the backing but they can easily go on that piece then there but the weight of it then might drop it down so that's why I think this is going to be a good shout for when you start to cut into these cards a bit more than just the one or two times so I'm going to get all these bits stuck down so you can see how that now does hold itself but it still to me just has a little bit more of a flimsier feel even though I'm using 280 gsm black card so it's very very strong card but play around with it see how you you know you feel making yours so now I've just got to add all my little bottles so I just basically done a little cluster of three on each side so I've got the rum the liquor and let's do the gin on that side so they will go on that one there and then on this side here I think I'm going to have the tequila the scotch whiskey and the cognac because I've used those two then already so again I'm just going to get those ones all stuck down there you go so you don't want to go too high because otherwise it won't fit in that envelope size because obviously now when those lie flat they don't come above this top line here okay so um yeah I absolutely love it the like I said the designs for this are endless there are literally so many fantastic um creations being made at the moment that I've seen so yeah you can make them perfect for any occasion but I think they are really good for for guide cards as well so I'm now going to attach mine onto this piece here like so and I just think that really makes it pop as well but it's entirely up to you okay so like I said this piece measures eight by um five and a half my measurements uh eight by yeah eight by five and a half okay so I'm just going to get that all stuck down so all you need to do is just put glue on the bottoms of obviously those pieces how cool is that so I'm going to put my message on the back I might put another white piece of paper there again put happy beth in and I've got room to write it but you might want to not put pattern paper there or do something and write your sentiment on that bit but I thought I like the thought of that being quite decorative and not seeing people's messages and stuff so um but with this one that I made that one for example you can write your message on the back because obviously it's a you know a larger area and you won't see that so like I said loads and loads of different variations so I've got my envelope already that I made up earlier and I'm just going to flip it over like I said because that way you won't damage any of that lovely decoration and there you have it so I hope you enjoyed it I hope you like the triple twist in um impossible card um I can't lie there might be another style again I seem to be uh really loving it and you guys do too so please give me a thumbs up if you enjoyed today and subscribe to my channel to see more
