 Hi everybody, it's Sam at Mixed Up Craft. Thank you for watching my tutorial today. I am back with Nan. She is in the craft room. Say hi Nan! Hi! Hi! I know so many of you really enjoy these videos. This is the third time I think now Nan. I believe it is. We've done a star card. Actually it was a bit similar to this. Do you remember with the Wallace and Gromit? Oh that's right. Yeah. So we've done them and then we done Christmas cards. Uh-huh. Was it Christmas? Yeah. Sure we done some Christmas cards last time and then today we're going to be doing these pinwheel cards. So these ones are interactive ones and they spin around. Looks really cool doesn't it? Oh it's lovely. Really really nice and then you've got the same one again and this time you've got the writing on the front and I like it. It's nice as well. It's nice because the the writing stays straight and this moves. Yeah. See? Yeah. So these are what we're going to make. So it's a design that's been around for a long time. There's lots of tutorials on YouTube. There's a couple as old as like 10 years ago and I actually saw these in a recent card making magazine. So that's what's given me the inspiration for today's tutorials. Plus Nan saw them as well and she thought they looked really really good. So they're top folding cards and these are six by six and what we're using today, let me just bring everything in, is this kit which I did share in my recent what did I get video and it was in Paper Crafts Decentral's magazine and it's called Fresh Florals and you can just make, it's just quick cards it says, it's got all the pre-cut die cuts and the twine and all kinds of bits and pieces and all these lovely bits and bits. It's really pretty colors isn't it? Really is, yes. So Nan chose some colors earlier and these are the colors. Nan you love red don't you? I do. I'm very fond of red. Red coat, red cardigan, red bags. Red bags, especially red bags. You've got lots of red bags haven't you? But not red shoes. I don't wear red shoes. What about red purse? How many red purses have you brought? Two or three of red purses. Two or three or maybe 20 to 30. Oh gosh. You've got loads. So anyway this is Nan's colors she wanted the reds. I'll go through all the sizes and everything will be listed on my blog as normal and then I'm going to go for these ones. I've chosen these colors Nan. Oh they're nice, yes they are. Pinks and the turquoise really soft kind of pastel colors and this is all inside this kit and I will link it below and yeah anybody you know that gets the papercraft essentials anyway then you would have picked this one up. Okay so I've got a six by six card blank then I have these mats and layers to go on top so I've just selected the pattern paper and then that pink it's nice isn't it? Your sizes are exactly the same as well. So this pinky color is a piece of five and three quarters squared and then the pattern paper is five and a half squared and when it's all stuck on top of each other you get a really nice border around. Okay so we're just going for just the nice simple just mats and layers with this card and then for the actual pinwheel we're going to have a white star and then we're going to have the pink and I'll go just there like that and then we're going to layer up all the paper on top so the white pieces here you want two pieces that are three and a half inches squared and then you want the pink pieces you want two pieces that are three and a quarter square and then you just want to choose your patterns that you're going to have for the pinwheel. So you want four of each pattern okay so you see there I've got the stripes with the floral you could have polka dots with something you want kind of like a plainer simpler pattern and then a detailed pattern something busy just so that you can actually see the designs you see there we've got a real kind of plain one and then you can really notice that design and then with this one here again the stripes with the floral you just get to really see the effect of the pinwheel. So just think about the papers and stuff that you want but that's everything you need and then let's get I think this glue will be a nice one for you to use now because it's quite easy to use and I'm going to use the calow glue because I think last time because this is clear it's a little bit harder to see but that's white so you should be able to see that quite well on the the darker cardstocks there and I'll help you. So first of all remove all of these bits because there's all your squares for the pinwheel we just want to work on the keep that one there for you and then so you want to make sure get all my bits up there as well that you have your card blank so that's your one there do you want to grab that one all right and we're going to have it top folding you don't have to have it top folding but um I just think this style looks quite nice when you've got the fold along the top so just make sure yours is in that right orientation so we don't fold them upside down yeah so you've got your fold at the top okay so grab your red piece nun I'm going to grab this pink piece here and pick it up and you just want to pop some glue on the back now that's got a really thin because all right pick it up yeah it's okay um if you just come into the matter bit so people can see you that's it no they can see you there that's okay just come in and then just cover the back of that card there with glue at least yeah it's both the same you see it come out just just squeeze it as you go squeeze it quite hard there we go see it coming out yeah and just go all the way around the size and then you'll be able to stick that one down and then you want to stick this down onto your card blank so you've got a nice border like me you see that white border yeah all right doing going nice yeah oh hang on it dries goes no you had it spot on then yep there we go oh yeah lovely perfect and then you want to do the same with your pattern piece so again you might struggle a little bit to see the glue because it's white on the back but just roughly just go around the edges again like you did before just stick it on there and you want a nice red border this time and you can stick that put it down you can kind of wobble it you know like wiggle it a bit because it's got the the glue is quite wet so if you just kind of you see there you can kind of move it a little bit yeah so you can move it around make sure you're happy I think you've got a nice you're happy with your border yeah I'm happy with that I think yes okay so we've just done all these they look really good so next we're going to move on to our stars so with these pieces here okay so grab the two white ones first of all now all right and you want to sit it on your mat so it's in a diamond shape and we're going to use the lines on our mat any line yeah doesn't matter which one you want choose a line line up the top and make sure the bottom sits there okay let me just move that across a bit for you there we go that one's in place and you just want to move that one across this bottom one here you just want to push it across there we go okay yep and then with your other one you want to grab your glue grab your other white square oh yeah just there there again all right and just put some glue in the middle okay you don't want to go up into those corners or anything and you're just going to sit it down again using your grid make sure that you've got it all lined up pop it on there yeah that's right in a square shape yeah stick it over perfect that's fine you can lift it up now and then hold it up in front of you and you can move it you just want to make sure that the triangles are all kind of the same let me to hold that oh hang on there we go i just what do you reckon there yeah happy there yeah there we go okay lovely then we're going to grab our pink pieces okay and yours are the red ones again put glue on the back of one of them all the way over you want this time you do want to go into all the corners and then we're going to stick that down so we've got a nice yep all of the corners on the sides perfect and then you want to grab your other one and we're going to then use that to cover those other corners yeah all your corners and down all the sides just cover as much as you can and then that one there i'm just going to pop a little bit in the middle oh yeah so it doesn't lift there we go and then this one you want to stick so forget that imagine that's not there just focus on this white square you want to cover that now again you want to have those nice little um edges so come up a little bit higher there we go okay and then just move it a little bit so if you hold this up can you see there where it's not there's no border oh yes yes if you want to just move it like that yes yeah do you want to just wiggle it around until you're happy no it seems fine to me okay yeah right so now when we put that against here you see how nicely it pops oh you hold put yours against your red one you'll really be able to see your white frame of that star and i just think it looks really nice you see once we stick that on there oh definitely yes i can see a point definitely yeah very nice all right okay so back to the star again so now we want to grab our squares all of these here and i may have given the wrong measurement for these at the beginning so i'm just gonna so these are one and a half squared i think i said one and three quarters so you want four that i've got this little yours i've got like a little polka dot on those ones now they look white but they're um they have got a very faint pattern and then there you're four patterned ones all right so first of all grab a patterned one and flip it over and you just want to add glue to just the right hand side so it's in a diamond shape right hand yep that's it and then but come down like a dime you see my diamond shape now i'm here i'm adding glue to that triangle on the right so if i hold yours for you you come up here so you you want to come down as if you've got a triangle oh oh all right yeah it's fine don't worry like that so we've got enough glue i'm going to take a little bit of that off for you because what's going to happen is this side where we've put no glue on we need to be able to tuck something underneath it at the end so this one i'm just going to help start you off but we're going to stick that like this and we want to see that little border that red border you want to aim for that on every one of those corners as we go around and then this last one we'll be able to pop one of these under as we get to it so i'm just going to do the same in mine i'm just going to stick my one right in that corner at the top and just make sure you have i'll just bring it up so everybody's watching can see you just want to get a nice little balanced kind of border there so now you want to grab a different pattern so you want your want your polka dot one next because we're going to do a pattern and then one of these pattern and so on so that's the back that's right yep that's what you and then this time you want to add glue over all of it okay so just cover as much as you can and then you want to work on this corner up here now and just make sure you've got a nice little red border at the top there okay so if i just if you're better off holding it that end oh you can see look i can move that and you can see and then you can just push it with that finger and then you want to push the rest down yep that's it yeah you're happy with that yeah i think so if you always hold it up and look at it that way you want to make sure your borders maybe we can go a little bit that way how about that that's better yeah all right and then if you just turn it each time and then you always want to work on the one that's at the top so now you want a pattern piece again so i'm going to grab this one so me and nan are going to carry on doing this and we're going to just cover our star and then when we get to the last one we'll be back to tuck it underneath this one here okay so nan's gone we've just gone and done all of nan's you really like it don't you i do i do very much you see how that cut the just a cool pattern isn't it when it all comes together yes it's lovely so everybody should be up to here and you will have the one you started with you'll have half of it stuck down so i'm just going to kind of fold that back a little bit and you're just going to stick your last one down exactly the same way just making sure it goes underneath that last piece i'm going to make sure i've got my stripes the right way like so i'm very pleased looks lovely isn't it i really like this and then with this one here you just want to pop some glue just on the back there like so and then i can just fold that one down really pretty pin those oh cool okay so the the spinning part is optional but i do love cards when they move i just think it's a little bit fun i think lisa might like it as well aren't she so if you don't if you're not bothered about having it spinning i would suggest maybe just putting some foam pads on the back or not if you know some people don't like to add too much vocal dimension but you can now just stick this onto your card you know you might want to have the plain pattern as a square or the pattern there in the square or you might want to have it kind of on an angle like that so you've got the two points on each side so just play around with your positioning but because ours are going to move it doesn't matter which way they are because they're always going to move now if you wanted to you could and maybe yeah we should have done that i guess but you would just stick this and the pink one and don't stick the pink to the white until you've hole punched your holes through but it it really doesn't make that much of a difference but i've got this here which is just going to allow me to do a hole punch or you can use the screw punch which is this one here i know many of you have and if you don't have that you can just use a pokey tool which is somewhere but everybody we all have a pokey tool i've got this one here which is not a pokey tool it's my um weeding tool for my cricket but anyway so what i'm going to do is i'm going to punch a hole through there i'm going to do mine festinand and then you can do yours it's quite a fun little gadget but i'm just lining up if you for anybody that's not got this can you see when i squeeze it down there's a light there's a piece here see that moving yeah that's a one eighth of an inch yeah hole punch and then you've got a three sixteenths launch me in my motorbike the shape of it i can what and this is the person sat on it that's a person maneuver yeah i can see that i can see it it's a funny thing actually it's just really good this allows you to punch holes through like a really really thick you know grayboard um you know just very very even some of the bolsa woods like the softer woods you can go through it as well but i'm now gonna it shouldn't be that hard very good but now i've got a hole through there so if i line yours up for you you can push down on it so i'm just going to make sure i've got it there right do you want to push down go on go on go on yeah there we go look at now we've got a hole through there so next what we want to do is open up the card okay so you've got it the top part facing away from you okay because you don't want to just lie down like i've done mine all right so turn it over so you can see your pattern oh just lie it down like mine is oh sorry sorry oh dear sorry down simplest things now no oh no sorry you've just put this really intricate design together but opening up the card was a really hard thing to do wasn't it right what we're gonna do now you crap me up is with a pencil we're gonna lay this down it doesn't matter which way it kind of is but we're just going to sit it down as long as it's within our square and i am i'm going to keep it like that just so i can make sure i've got an even border and then i'm just going to mark a pencil mark in the middle okay so there's the pencil if i sit yours down for you you're happy yes i am where that is yes i don't feel like you need to move it any other way i think it's okay no i don't think so no i'll hold it there for you do you want to then in the middle there that's it go right in that middle hole and just draw a pencil mark perfect that's it and then again i'll pop it in for you and you can push it down because i think it's quite difficult to see it under there because that pencil mark i can just about make it out but that's it there right do you want to push it down see that was a bit easier yeah that's it perfect so now we've got our hole there and that hole will sit perfectly with that one and we're going to put a little split pin through it in a moment for it to spin so i'm just going to do the same with mine then i've got a little tray of brads here or split pins whatever you want to call them it doesn't really matter the color but i'm guessing you're going to want red yes i would like red so we've got a nice red shiny one there oh lovely or if you wanted to you could have that as your decorative because i mean you could either use something that matches the kit which is that flower like i've done there or you could have the brad i mean i thought there's a heart there as well heart oh i'd like there's a heart there's a red heart Lisa likes her see how that looks there's the heart yes that's nice i like that yeah yes okay so i've popped it through there do you want to pop it through that hole do you think you'd be able get that one there so sit in fact sit on sit that on top if i hold it no can you do it manage at all and then it doesn't matter it's going to move isn't it oh it won't matter no and then you want to now i think it's going to be easier for you if i line it up on this one so there okay now you can pop that pin through both it's quite fiddly there we go and then if i hold the back for you now can you see where you split it apart do you remember using these do you want to split that one open i don't remember using you just pull one side oh of course so so now you spin it around look at that good no i am i'm over the moon with that well we haven't finished yet we've got picking my sentiment for the inside and we can use some pattern paper as well so i'm going to just use so i'm going to do it a different way just so that you know people that are watching can see other ways of doing it so i'm going to use a light pink there i'm going to pop that one in there and that one actually before i do it so what i'm going to do is i'm going to i'm going to put a sentiment on mine and we'll keep yours that way at least then people can see two different ways of doing it so on the front of this one i think i'm going to do have the most wonderful birthday in the middle of that one so what i've been doing is i've got my hot glue gun on here i'm going to put a bead of hot glue just on the top of the split pin and then i'm going to put the sentiment in the middle there and just let that dry like so so now that's lovely i can pop that through there i can pop that one through there and then i can open up that good and then to cover this so this is what i mean now if you just put it through this pattern piece and the pink now i would say add glue to the pink piece and stick it onto your card base so you haven't got the hole through here but we've just done it a bit differently so what i would suggest is i've got a couple punch here and i'm just going to grab some here's my scrap card i'm going to just do one for you one for me and then i'm just going to grab the hot glue none and just pop it on there and then i'm going to do it so that you want to get your heart the right way up because this actually won't move we're going to put the hot glue and that over there okay so it still looks fine and it's on that side of the card and we're going to put some nice decoration on there but now this moves but the heart stays the same way up lovely that lovely oh that is i'm so pleased with that she's gonna love it and then what i would suggest is we're just burnish the top there because we've opened it up and stuff but now that stands really nicely lovely isn't it so now i'm just going to do the same with this one now mine moves and my have the most wonderful birthday stays facing the right way up aren't they gorgeous cards really pretty aren't they they are again just give that a good burnish oh wonderful is that so then i've got the twine and it's up to you if you want to but do you like i've just kind of thread it through the top wrapped it around you just got a little bow no you want to add that i'm just wondering whether i get you a different colored twine because it goes with where did i put it here it is kind of goes with mine well because it's got the turquoise but i'm not sure i don't know what do you think i guess it does well it's part of the kit so it's it's got a or would you rather me look for a red red and white i know no if you haven't got no i have i've got red and white okay i'll have after i'll go get my red and white for her where are you going to go is that bear oh i'm just popping to the shop now okay so just pop to the shop to get to get to get now the red twine okay so i'll show you what i'm going to do in mine and then we can do yours okay so all all you do it's a nice way of doing it because it's it's almost like an afterthought because you've done all the car but you can still attach this you just want to wrap it under and then around and then back around again and then i'm just going to pop a little bow in the top corner a nice little bit of detail at the top oh yes pretty isn't it okay so i'm going to do yours okay i'll open it up you grab your twine yeah so you're gonna go underneath that's it and then go with this one go right over and back under again hold this end not this end you want to keep this end and hold that end keep that where it is right that's it and then all the back around again to meet up perfect so now do you want me to do the bow for you yes please okay it's a little bit fiddly because i haven't got a lot left here but it's fine we've got enough but it just gives you a little fun there just a nice little bit of detail and okay so we're going to decorate the inside of nan's i think i'm going to leave mine because i've got the sentiment on the front that's just ready you know for someone to write off to get that off there oh there we go inside there but if you do want to decorate the inside this is a piece of five and a half by five and a half and we're going to stick that in there and then we've got a piece of five by five which we're going to stick there and you've got that nice frame yeah and then we've just got one of our one inch circles and we've got width love there and you can even have it up in the corner like that and then just write a nice message there maybe would you want it in the middle no i like it in the middle okay perfect right so you just want to add your glue to the back of that one stick it down and then that one and then that one and then we are done we nearly finished but we want to add some bling don't we we've got to have a little bit of sparkle yeah so this is my sparkle drawer what would you like i've got everything here really oh god we've got we've got here there's some red um yeah yeah pick out the reds there's some red ones there oh what about red hearts yes they're definitely put a couple of them in the corner she does like hearts okay so you can do those and where do you want to put these do you want to do one in each corner do you want to just do one up the top you could just do one big one yeah one big one because you don't want to interfere too much with no you don't want to stop that moving one big one i do you could do one in the inside as well perhaps in the middle of oh i don't know i can't go there i don't think something it might stop it moving yeah you could do a smaller one up there or you could do a big one up there and then a small a big one down there as well okay yes definitely like you just said okay so peel off the big one there then it's just a sticker oh is it just peel it off and then you can stick it oh wherever you want but just try not to get it near the um the pin we're moving that's it oh that is very good i did think they were sticky like that and then there's another one to do one in the corner at bottom corner as well or do you want to leave it like that it's up to you you hold it i think that's enough we'll just move it up because the bow is going to come do you want to move it down a little bit because the bow the bow drops down over it yes it does yeah do you want me to move it down a little bit for you can you move it down a bit yeah you've got a little bit of wiggle room so what should we have it like that that's it lovely oh smart so it captures the light there pretty yeah it does catch the light okay very nice so that is yours you can just see them they catch the light a little bit of dimension there just to add a little bit of interest to the bottom of the card very pretty really nice very pleased the most enjoyable well there there are lovely cards yes so there's a few there for those that are watching just to see kind of how they all look i think they all look really nice so you can have them with the sentiment or as nan's done there just the really nice design on the front and then we've got the sentiment inside what was the fun part about what was the most fun about making this card then what have you enjoyed well just just being here and you teaching me i feel as
