 Hi everybody it's Sam at Mixed Up Craft thank you for watching my tutorial today. So I'm going to be showing you how to make a double building block card. Lots of you have been messaging me after I shared the one where it was just a single one. Some people have already done their own on the group and they've adapted the sizes so I thought seeing as it was popular I would do one on the channel and then you've got something for reference. So this is still a 5x7 size just like the last one that I done and I'll link that up here I'll also link it at the end of the tutorial and then basically when it just opens up you have it on two sides and it's got such a nice I would say nice profile. I've got lots of heat embossing on this we've got the gold mirrored cardstock and I've used the supplies from the new Simply Cards and Papercraft magazine so it's got a real autumnal feel to it and then on the back as always you've got room there to be able to write your message you can see all that detail. So it is a slightly different size because I wanted to keep it so that it's still folded down to that 5x7 size. On the other one that I done I think the squares were one and a quarter squared these are one inch squared so I think you actually get more you've got five squares on these or building blocks whereas on the other one I think there's only four but like I said that'll be linked up so you can check that out if you've not seen this style before it's really nice kind of getting into my big display cards again I just love making them I think they make such an impact so it's really easy to do so let me show you how. Okay so this should be a pretty quick tutorial so this is the stamp set so it's the Simply Card Making and Papercraft and it's the autumn days I just cut mine in half and popped it into my little clear pockets here just so I can see everything better and it fits with all my other stamps and that's the magazine so it's issue 208. This is my card on the front here so I've stuck with those colors for today's tutorial because I think they really work well I also done that gift bag there's loads of inspiration as always but like I said I will and I will share all the links below so I've already done one half I've done all my embossing coloring everything just really want to go through the measurements for those of you that were asking so you want two pieces I'm using this lovely teal color here and this is eight by seven now along the eight inch side you want to score at two three four and five it's a really simple scoring two three four and five you want two pieces and you want to do exactly those same score lines on the other piece as well then all you want to do at this point is just burnish or fold the third score line so you've got one two it's that third one and then you should have an extra one here which will be underneath so make sure you've got the two facing you and then you want to lay that folded side back into your scoreboard you then want to score at one inch down to the first score line then at half an inch again down to that first score line all of these score lines will be up to that first one or down to that first one so you've just done one one and a half then two and a half and three then four four and a half five and a half and six so just bring it up you see now your score lines there and if you open it up they would have gone through to the other side as well but you don't really need to worry about that too much you can now with no we'll keep the scoreboard for a minute so i can give you the other measurements what you want to do is with that folded side now facing you and it's still folded in half is cut down all of those score lines just again up to that first score line so everything you just scored you now want to cut down okay so now if i open it up what you want to now do is this one here this first score line on the left will become a mountain the next one will become a valley you've already got the mountain from that one where we just cut and then you're going to finish with a valley like this and when it's all flat should be four by seven obviously the length is not going to change but it should come at four inches wide and then what i would suggest is when you burnish it burnish each one kind of on its own so that it doesn't leave a mark on each kind of side because you can mark through your cardstocks you see i'm just opening up each kind of score line and that way you don't get any markings on your card here because what could happen is if you scored that one with this over the top you'd get a mark down the middle of this one here and the same if you scored those you'd probably leave a mark on this back piece okay so that's that so you would have done that twice and then what you can do is where you got your half inch pieces just pop them in so that one that one that one and that one and then squeeze it all out and again just kind of burnish those but now you've got that one okay then you will need your mats and layers so i've got this one going on the front and these are this is the same for the backs you see though i've got my front and back so you want two pieces that are two and three quarters by six and three quarters and then two pieces in my case it's the white which are two and a half by six and a half and i've already done my heat embossing on them and these are all sentiments that are in that stamp set you've got shorter days and setting sun set the stage for autumn fun that's on the front and then on the back thank you for grateful and blessed is what i'm sticking there so i've stuck all those down and then i've got these pieces for the sides and again this is the stamp this one here is lovely stump and it's the leaves here the falling leaves and that is again you want two pieces you might want four if you want to decorate the back but these are both for the front side pieces so it's one and three quarters by six and three quarters and then the white that i've embossed is one and a half again by six and a half so those ones then i've got these to go on the inside parts here again optional you might choose to keep yours plain but those are so the orange is three quarters of an inch by six and three quarters and then the white is half an inch by six and a half again two pieces but you may want four you will then want to cut if you want to decorate the squares and you'll see how i've done that on this one here so imagine those are all popped in it's going to be that way see how they look with the squares all covered so you'll want 20 pieces because you'll need 10 on each side that are three quarters of an inch squared because they're one inch squares so i've just dropped it down that quarter of an inch okay so first of all you want to decide whether you want that one to go over that one or that one to go over that one i tend to always do the left over the right i think so i'm going to do that today so i'm just going to add my glue on the back of this piece so and when both of these fold in the whole card will fold down into that five by seven shape so just check that you've got that at this point otherwise you would have possibly scored or cut wrong somewhere along the way so that's that one then i can stick my one there for the middle and then that one's going to go on the back i can stick both of these on here i'm kind of flatten it out at this point you know you don't have to have it all 3d there and then you can see that one there and that one there and then i'm going to stick the rest of those squares on this side here so i'm going to go get that all stuck down okay so that's everything stuck down and then i've stamped and coloured and cut out these images here which again all from that stamp set and i'm just going to do a little arrangement up here so kind of you know i might put a bow at the top of that as well just to cover like the ends of the stamps but i might shrink that down a bit as well just trim that off a bit there we go that fits a bit better something like that and then this one i can probably keep the whole length i feel that space um i've got my hot glue gun just warming up i think we're do kind of something you know i like to just stuff all the bits and pieces together um or maybe we do the green leaf down under that one there we go and then we can have the red all that looks nice like that and i think i'm going to get a little bow just to cover that top piece so like i said i've got my hot glue gun on i tend to always use my hot glue when i'm building little kind of clusters like this so i'm just going to get all this stuck down and they're all stuck down i also just like to just roll the edges just a little bit i know it's going to kind of get flattened again when you close it but you'd be surprised especially with this being well i've stamped on a thick 300 gsm cardstock it will still keep some of that dimension when the card opens up but i do like just to have just that little bit more dimension and it just creates a shadow behind like so so you see i've added my bow there which works quite well because when that folds when the sides fold down the bow can still be kind of seen there but i do want to just finish it off or i need to pop those through they've gone the wrong way but you can see there how that all looks so now i can just finish off i just thought it looked quite nice to put a few drops of glossy accents on the berries because they would be nice and shiny so once that dries clear it'd just be another nice texture for that person to look at there we go i think that looks wonderful just bring it up there there's so much going on with it so much kind of texture and shine and dimension looks great and it stands up really nicely as well so yeah that is my double building block card because again lots of you have been asking the sizes for a double so i hope you like this version it'll fold down into that 5x7 envelope size if you do want to pop it in a box envelope i'll link that if i haven't already linked it at the beginning i will also link up the single building block card and then some other kind of stepper all those kind of you know similar kind of cards i'll pop another one up here as well if you haven't subscribed and you've enjoyed today's tutorial if
