 Hi everybody it's Sam at Mixed Up Craft thank you for watching my tutorial today. I'm going to be showing you how to make the slide and pop cards. Now the 5x7 size here I actually made for my Christmas series 2017 so I was going back through some of my old cards and I'm trying to, if I've made a card in 6x6 I'm trying to revisit it and make it in 5x7 or vice versa. So this is a really nice and popular style and because I've made it in the 5x7 I thought it would be nice to revisit it and make it in a 6x6. So how these cards work and if you want to know how to make the 5x7 size I will share the link here so if you click on that it'll give you the tutorial and all the measurements for this size card. Basically you just pull the little tab here and this happens it's really nice it's got lots of room for sentiments and I'm going to show you the stamp set I use in a moment because it's become my favorite it's just worked perfectly with this Happy You collection but I've got here it just reveals for the beauty girl here it says a girl can never have too many handbags and it says love to shop so it's just really really cute and then that just slides down there so it's nice and flat and fit in an envelope and then also you can open it up and write your message so it will stand up like so or they can have it displayed like that. So they are really really fun cards I've enjoyed making these especially with this lovely new collection so that's that one there and then this is the 6x6 version so I've made it as a top folding card and this time you pull the little pieces here if you do have something that says pull here by all means you can use that or you can have more of a I guess a tab that you know it looks like a tab so someone would know to pull it but again I like to give my cards most of them I give by hand so I kind of tell the person what they need to do anyway but you just pull this one up here and again it reveals these three sentiments so you've got for the beautiful graphic girl again kept the same one this one that says shoes are a girl's best friend and it says have a gorgeous day and again I've used washi tape I've used little faceted gemstones I've got this bow I've done heat embossing lots and lots this going on on this card and it just looks beautiful I really really love them and again this one inside I've just used the dies there from the collection and it stands up so I like that they stand up like a normal card and also they look really nice when they're flat and just look at all that rose gold sparkle and I know there's loads of you that have this collection and you are just gonna yeah well I know what you do because you show me on mixed up crafters so you're going to go mad for it okay so for this card or for these cards that I've been making I actually use for the card blank this is a 6x6 card blank and if you see the pattern there it worked really well with this collection and it's actually from this paper pack here this is the cross sensations light textures and it's a beautiful paper pack of just backgrounds but it's all different close-ups of fabric and different wood grains and it's just yeah really really lovely so I used this one here might know which one oh I've used that one again because I cut it in half so I've got two cards out of it but that's a nice one as well okay again I'll share as many links as I can over on my blog and then this is that new stamp set that I'm kind of raving about this by craft work cards I was sent this from craft stash and I got to choose it myself and I'm so glad I did because not only are all the sentiments nice and big I mean you've seen how lovely you know especially that one there it's just it's really really great but you've also got these perfume bottles here and just to quickly show you how they work I've made some cards already and these were coloured using my artesa everblends and you've got the stamps that you can then stamp inside the bag so although that's plain I then used the bow and I used to have a beautiful day which is that one there and stamped it inside so and there's that one there as well so just it's a really really handy stamp set to have and I think if you've got those people in your life that love to shop and love shoes and handbags and perfume and stuff it's going to be brilliant this one I'm going to use soon I think you are oh so glam but yeah brilliant so again all the links will be shared for that one and then this is the happy you collection so I've got all the card pieces there this is just the stuff I've been using so I'm just going to put it all to one side because I will need it again for the card or when I show you what I've done but that's how it looks that's your eight by eight pad size and that's the 12 by 12 and if you do have the happy you collection or you're thinking of getting it I'd highly recommend that you get the rose gold wow embossing powder it just really does add to it and just compliments that collection really well okay so for this card you're going to need a six by six card blank or cut a piece of 12 by six and along the 12 inch side to score it six fold it in half and then I've got my card blank then we need our layer to mat on top so I've just got this it's actually a scrap piece of watercolor card but it worked really well that's five and three quarters by five okay so my standard kind of mats and layers here and then this is my decorative piece and this is five and a half by five and a half and that one is going to go on top there then to kind of have as my pop-up piece I've done this little piece here and this is using the eight you get these eight photo frames so they're a little like polaroid shaped frames and I just thought it looked it worked really well to create this kind of little topper so I've heat embossed a girl can never have too many and then I actually this stamp is one long one I actually cut it there so the shoes were separate anyway you obviously I'm not telling you to do that but I wanted it I didn't want it long for this one because it was a square card so I've cut mine down anyway then I just fussy cut the shoes and you can see that it's just really really sweet so yeah I just backed the back of it with some of the it was like the marble effect card that comes in the pack so that's my topper then you need this piece here which is your pull piece and this is three and a quarter by four and five eighths okay so first of all we're going to start off with our five and a half by five and a half patterned piece and you want to flip it over and what you're going to do is you're going to come in at one inch from each side and just mark a pencil mark there and come in at one inch and mark a pencil mark okay and I'm going to use my grid so if I line my cardstock up here I know that each of these squares is one inch so I can just get my ruler line it up with the one and the one and also then it just kind of lines up with that pencil mark you just want to do a pencil line so that bits one inch and you want to do the same on that side so you've got a one inch section there as well okay and these are all guides for us it just makes it much easier for me to teach you guys how to make it then these lines here you're coming at one and a half so again just line your ruler up and just put a marker at one and a half and again here put a little marker at one and a half and again I'm just going to use my grid here so the dots on mine mean half an inch so again I can just line it up there just do my pencil mark and this one here I just need to shift a little bit I think I might cut my cardstock slightly shy of five and a half but it doesn't matter as long as you stick with those equal measurements on each side you'll be fine okay and then from the top you're coming down one inch so again pencil mark at one inch and down at the bottom pencil mark at one inch and again do the pencil lines okay so this is where we're going to be cutting so what's going to happen is is we're going to come going to well to make it easier for you guys if you scribble as I scribble then you'll know what's going to happen so we are going to cut down from these points here so if you put top and bottom so starting from the top you want to put a little cross here in here and you're going to cut all the way down here all the way across here and all the way down here okay then what this section is here is this is where we're going to glue okay so it's where you can add your glue and again you can add your glue there and glue glue glue glue and all along here will be glue as well this is the only section you're going to cut just this bit here don't cut from the top you've got to start cutting from there now recently I was kindly asked again if I'd like to choose some stuff from our taser and I always get really nervous when I have to use my cutting knife I hate usually I use this ruler here and I hate pushing down on it and I'm just so my fingers are so close to the knife it's always I've never liked it so they had the metal triangle ruler and I just thought this is going to be really good because I can hold it at the top and the knife isn't going to you know I'm not going to risk cutting my fingers so again I'll share the links to all this but and with that I picked up and got to choose this little well not little it's quite substantial knife set so I've got the smaller blade here I have changed I swapped it I think so I've got the nice fine precision one I like that it's all contained as well so now what I'm going to do is just with my ruler is I'm going to line my ruler up and I'm going to start cutting from here down to here okay so just going to line my ruler up like so and you want to push the knife into the metal ruler I'm also using a self-healing mat so I've got no risk of me ruining any nice table underneath so now this cuts like butter but it's just cut right through there from that point to that point I'm going to do both the sides and then do that bottom one then I'm going to again pop my ruler right up on that line like so okay and now we just need to join up those two and now it just comes away perfectly and I've just got really nice points it's just made a big difference using that so I'm really pleased I picked that up okay so now we need to do a couple of score lines and all the scoring we're doing is only going to be within this flap okay so we want to do a score line at four inches but you want to hover your stylus all the way over until you get into that piece that you've just cut and just score it four okay okay next we need to score halfway between that score line that you've just made and this line here where we first started cutting now that section is three inches long so we need to score it one and a half from there which will be the two and a half marker but again hover your stylus and then when you get to that piece that you've cut score and that will be a two and a half which will be halfway and then you want to do the last score line will be that one inch marker between the two crosses okay like so flip it over and you want to fold that one back the middle score line as a mountain and then that last score line as a valley okay so you'll have a valley mountain and valley fold and that will give you this mechanism okay so it's very easy to do as long as you just follow that system there okay next we want our mat layer and that piece we just cut and this will sit over the top of it so make sure you centre it okay so you've got a nice even border and you just want to imagine that you've pulled this piece up okay so have it about halfway your triangle if I just bring it to the side you can see there how I've got it okay so again lie that down roughly bring that up and what you want to do is you want to mark with a pencil just a line roughly there and on each side you don't need to do the whole thing you make sure you do it lightly so you can rub it out so now I'm going to take it away I've got this section here and that's where I can stamp my image now the one I'm going to do is for the birthday girl because I've got have a beautiful day I've got a girl can never have too many shoes so then I thought I'd have for the birthday girl so I've already had it in here I'm just going to pop that one in there and then because I'm going to be doing some heating bossing I just want to prep my surface first so I've got my embossing body here and the key is to really rub that over so although you can't see it a very faint powder is coming out and it's just removing any grease marks and any kind of stickiness that might be there that you any oils anything that you can't really see it will remove and because I've used this already I'm going to bring this down and it should fit see at the also you can pull that up even more so if I just quickly show you for example here although I pull up to there I can go even further so for this stamped image that I've got I'll probably end up pulling it up a little bit higher but it will be fine so I'm going to lay that one down within that space that looks about right pick that one up and then I've got some of the Versa mark here this is your watermark stamp pad and I'm just going to look that up lay that down and these have been stamping really nicely and if you look to the side I mean I don't know how well that's picking up you can just see it there but I know I can go over that another so I'm just going to again ink that up and yeah I've got a nice impression now so just pop all that away okay so just got a piece of copy paper here just to catch all of my powder and I'm just going to sprinkle over this wow I don't usually show this but lots of people ask to see how I obviously do my heat embossing so I thought I would keep this piece in so you can always fast forward this section and then I've just got this brush here very fine small one these are from Arteza as well and they are perfect for just going in and just you want to remove although I've got a perfect impression I've got a few little extras and I'm just brushing them away because they will set if you do get the odd one you can also pick them off with a sharp pokey tool but this is great because I can get in to any tiny little bits which you probably can't see at all on camera but they are there and they're bug me if they're there when I've heat set it okay so I'm happy with that so I'm just going to clear all this up and now I'm going to heat set it now the key to this as well is making sure your heat gun gets nice and warm so give it 30 seconds or so and then heat set it so I'm going to put this on high speed now so you don't have to hear all this okay so that has now beautifully melted and whenever you heat emboss you will get some warping now because this is going to be stuck down it's fine but I would never recommend that you kind of heat emboss directly onto your card front because it's just going to that's what your card's going to look like even if you've got really thick card you're going to get warping so I try and kind of just mold it slightly back into shape you can also put that in between a book if you want to kind of leave it there overnight or something but like I said we're going to add a d-sip to the back of this and it's all going to get stuck down don't rub it straight away because sometimes they do take a few minutes not even that but just you know 30 seconds or so to just completely set but I'm just going to now rub away my pencil mark okay next I'm going to add some double sided tape onto the back okay and then you just want to carefully lay that down on top of your card blank okay next you want this piece here and we're going to attach this onto this piece here so what we're going to do is we're going to add a glue along this tab here okay and we're going to be sticking this on what you want to do before that is you want to stamp your little message that you're going to have that pops up and I would say if you mark with a pencil one and three quarters down everything above that is where you can stamp your message okay so if you do that first and then I'm going to flip this piece over here and I'm going to add just find it a bit easier with the double sided tape you don't have to but I've got this half inch double sided tape so I'm going to stick that right in that section there okay make sure that's all stuck down take the backing off in fact before I take the backing off I'm going to show you what you need to do this is going to stick turn it over this is going to stick and run right the bottom of this is going to run along the bottom of this piece and you want to make sure you've got an equal overhang and it should sit perfectly within those two one inch pencil lines okay so I've left a little bit maybe one eighth of an inch and then you add your glue because I didn't want to have it so that you had you added the glue right up to it because the likelihood is it's going to catch and stick but with that one eighth of an inch little gap it should run and you know move freely okay so I'm going to take the backing off now again I always like to use my grid and line things up because it does kind of keep everything in line and then I'm going to try and get my hand out of the way trying to keep this piece flat there we go I'm going to sit my ruler down and then I can hover that over so it doesn't bounce up and the pencil marks will help you keep everything straight okay so that is all that's going to be stuck down it's just that piece and now when that slides up you can see it gives us that mechanism okay and it should obviously there's another thing as well you want to make sure that whatever you stamp doesn't kind of poke out because otherwise you could have like that poking out for example but I've done it just so that everything is just concealed and you've got about a quarter of an inch overhang there with the tab then we're going to be sticking this now onto the card like that and again everything should be lined up you should have a nice equal border and then we're going to add glue so I'm going to use my wet glue because it'll give you that wiggle room and you want to add it all within that one inch section around the three sides okay I'm going to start from the bottom there we go and I love this paper and that's why I chose this one for this particular style because I like that it's got all the stripes facing that way so that you almost can't seal see that there's something concealed there I'm going to add another tab there so it's easy to pull out and then it will slide up like so isn't that cute it almost looks like one of those little shutters you know and like a imagine like a ice cream van or something it's got that kind of look about it I'm sure some of you know what I mean okay so now that's that's the card done so it will stand up like so but now we need to decorate it and add all those little extras so I am going to grab my top up I've got to stick it above that half inch score line so that will actually stay on show so if you put it in its kind of upright position okay it's easier to stick that way so I'm going to add glue all over this part here now I've got glitter on here but this glue should still be fine I can always replace it with the red tape if I find that it's not going to work so this way you can see that it overhangs equally you know and then I can just put my fingers inside there make sure that's all stuck and then I'm going to push it back down again I can just push down on there like so then I'm just going to grab some scrappy I like to keep all mine together any collection I have I always have a plastic file with the scraps in I keep that with it and I just you're fine that you end up going to this more than breaking into more kind of four pieces of paper because you know everything you've got in the the bag so I'm going to cut a little tab there and I'm going to stick this just behind there like so so it just makes that really easy to pull out so again just going to put some glue on just half to make sure that's in the middle okay and now I'm going to decorate it some more so I'm going to just speed the video up you can just watch me stick all these bits down okay so there is my finished card I have stuck down the little bow and then I run some washi tape there but I've also die cut this die here which comes in the die set I need to say that heart doesn't come in it just the small heart this is one that I already had but it goes well with this collection so I put it in there so I remember to use it but when this one die cuts it die cuts out this frame and then the three hearts so I've just die cut it a few times and I've put the hearts they fit perfectly over the hearts on the washi tape so I just thought it added some more sparkle and obviously we've got a little tab there now and that pulls up so you see what I mean it can come up much higher so if you do have a bigger message you have got the room but I mean that's it mine will kind of sit there but I just love it I love all the sparkle I love all the different areas you've got you don't have to put as many sentiments on it as I have but I actually quite like it it's a great card if you want to send someone something really motivational because they can just see all these different you know lovely kind of quotes and stuff so there's that one again show you the five by seven version which again I really love just think it's super fun and that's the other style and how I decorated the other six by six and again just pulls up there and this one I've done secular as well which of course you would have known and seen but I didn't talk about it but yeah you can add different shapes and if you do look at the Santa one that I done last year that's not even a shape there's just little images that I fussy cut so yeah I really really like this it was nice to revisit an old card style I hope you enjoy it I hope you give it a go as always share over on the mix.craft as Facebook group and yeah give this video a thumbs up if you've enjoyed it and subscribe to my channel so you get to see more thanks for watching bye
