 Hi everybody it's Sam at Mixed Up Craft, thank you for watching my tutorial today. I'm going to be showing you another large kind of display style card so it's evolved from the double display card that I shared for my creative card series and I'll link that one and some others that are similar to that up here but this is a z-fold card but doubled so yeah it's you'll see anyway what I mean but basically it's six by nine, I've made an envelope for it and then it opens up like this. You can see there I'm using my favorite secret garden collection and I will show you all of that, look at the little picket fence, I love all the papers, you've got a little bit of sparkle there from the little daimonte which I've used or the brad and then it stands up, again the profile's lovely on this, it's just such a nice piece to have on the mantle and then on the back you have that there so you've got plenty of room, you could have that all white if you wanted to, there we go and you can also decorate obviously all those other panels as well so it's just yeah absolutely love how this come together, I've used the bunting, I've used so much of the collection and it just works, it just makes decorating so easy and it is an easy card to make, it really is, it is just two z-folds stuck together and then these strips as well so yeah I'll show you the envelope and everything but let's crack on with the tutorial, okay so this is the paper pack that I'm using so it's the secret garden and all of the matching accessories as well so again I'll show you those as I use them, lovely, I've made so many tutorials using this collection and I'll probably do a separate playlist for the secret garden and I'll link that up here for you as well because yeah it's just I love it, I don't want it to end okay so there is lots of mats and there's this just like the display card so what I'm going to do is I'm going to go through the the main ones first and then as I do the mats I'll tell you the sizes to them and then as I do the layers I'll tell you the sizes to those rather than throwing it all at you and everything will be listed in my blog as normal, so to make the actual main card so the double z-fold as they say that you need two pieces that are 12 by 6 again I'm using that lovely heavy weight card stock from Lidl it's just yeah really really nice so on both pieces you want to score at three and then flip it and score at six okay so again three and flip it and score at six and then where you've then scored flip it back over again you're going to fold that one in the six inch one and then the three out creating your z-fold okay so I'm just going to grab so it's kind of like the double gatefold as well but rather than it folding like that it folds in like this so it has got a slightly yeah different look which is why I think double z-fold will work better so make sure you fold it the right way there we go okay so you'll have two pieces that look like this and all you're going to do is we're going to flip one around and we're going to be sticking it over the top like this I'll talk about that in a moment then you want four pieces that are one inch by 12 and these are just the scraps from when I cut that out okay so try to use as much of the card as possible okay so don't need the scoreboard anymore and I'll go through the mats and legs to those in a minute so what you want to do is decide whether you want to put your right over your left or your left over your right I'm going to put the left over the right it just feels right to do it that way and I'm just using my grid here each of these are one inch so I'm just sitting this down here and you just want to mark a pencil mark you don't need to do any scoring or anything like that at three inches so just there and just yeah just there okay and then what I'm going to do is stick this over up to that pencil line okay so then you should have three three and three because imagine there's an imaginary line here um which we'll be doing with our mats and legs and then when that folds in and that folds in in fact when you fold that one down you want it to come up nice and flush with it okay so use that as another gauge as well so although I've done my pencil mark it's just slightly over that and then you'll get a nice kind of finish like so because this is that center panel that you see even when you've closed it so then when we open it up that's how it's going to look okay so what I'm going to do is add my glue all in that section use double-sided tape if you want to okay and just spend some time making sure that that's all lined up this glue will dry nice and clear and that's all going to get covered anyway but now you will have this six by nine card okay now I would say before you add these decorate these panels here it's a bit easier because if I open this card up here trying to get your mats and layers in when these are in place some of you may find harder so actually you want to do so if I bring this down you want to do this one this one your middle this one and this one okay in fact the middle one you can leave so let's just concentrate on these four because you'll see they're the ones with the full mats and layers so they're the ones I'm going to talk you through first okay so you're going to want seven pieces that are two and three quarters by five and three quarters now one of these pieces will be your back one with your message so I've already gone stamped mine so I'll stamp so three are for the back so we're gonna have my stamped message and then one of these either side so stick them in a minute and then you have these ones so you've got five for the front one two three and four okay so we're going to leave that one because that one's going to be easy to decorate so get those all stuck down just make sure that you've got a nice even border on all of your sides when you go to stick this one down because obviously this one here you have this kind of join so that gives you your space there but this one's just a large six by six area focus on the left hand side and just make sure you give it the same border that you've given this piece from that score line so I can see there that all lines up nicely and then I know that when we go to stick our mat in here everything will line up okay so I've got my three on the back and then my four on the front there and just obviously you know keep folding everything in each time you also don't want to see any of that white when I close it you can see everything's hidden okay next we're going to add these pieces so I told a lie you do need to do a bit more scoring so I'm just going to pop that one there you're going to score six and nine okay again six and nine and do that on all of them and also what you should do is flip it and do it six again actually just to make sure you don't get any cracking if you're ever doing any kind of like concertina folds or z-folds flip it or just do what I did then just go over it again okay so we'll do one at a time we'll start with this side so our six score line is here it's going to fold down to form a mountain and then that one there that should be that way we'll form the valley okay and that's going to stick all the way along and this piece is going to stick into that centerpiece and I'm going to line it right up with that join piece so it go right up to that and then you know you've got everything you know staying nice and straight and also if I fold that right over where it's folded it continues to give that real nice frame all around this white piece so that one's going to go like so and then you'll get another one which will do the same so you will have the mountain and then the valley and that one's going to go at the bottom okay and then these ones here you'll do the same you just flip it though so you've got your six inch it's going to go down and then your three like so okay and then again six inch and the three so it's exactly the same you're just flipping them around and they're all going to join like this now before we stick them you need to do your layers for these four otherwise what I said about doing it before we'll go out the window because we didn't do these pieces so you need trying to make sure I don't forget nothing so it's just lots of mats and layers like I said it's not difficult to do so you've got two there and then I'm going to have those ones there and then I've got these two for the back so these are two and a half by five and a half and you will want six pieces okay so again get those all stuck down okay so now we can stick these down so I've got two for the left two for the right all you want to do is pop some glue down roughly obviously covering that one inch area and then stick that right over the top you want to make sure you get it nice and flush right into the corner and keep it nice and straight along the top of the card there that's probably the hardest thing about this card is just getting everything perfectly lined up okay so that's that one there and then I'm going to stick this one along the bottom here so again just covering roughly one inch if you want to mark a pencil mark along there so you know you're sticking your glue in the right area you can just going to spread some of that out okay and then each of these now I'm just going to pop glue actually onto this side and you can either lay it down flat but what I would say about that is you may not get it exactly where you want it to go so I'm just going to try it actually yeah it does if I lay it flat you want it to line up nice and flush with that join so if I bring mine up here's my join here where I overlapped the original you can see once it's flat because that was bowing down then when I lifted it up so it pulled it out a little bit but it will just again make sure the top runs nice and flush so again I'm just going to do that with this one okay and then we want to do the same with this one here so you will end up overlapping on top of that one again so this one here will have two over the top so in the end there's actually going to be one two three four pieces of cardstock so it's a really really strong card so again I'm going to start from this side and then again stick down on here and you want to make sure when you open it up you want to get it up to that fold so you might find it's easy to do this stick it up like that and then you can move it around quite easily if I bring it up there you'll see mine is within this fold here so make sure you fold this up when you stick that piece in place otherwise your card won't fold flat nicely so this one here I'm just going to fold it out put my glue on the back of this one and again keep that in a kind of a right angle position and then that will sit nicely over the top so if you go over that score line when you do it when it's flat it will just all buckle and it just like I said it won't lie nice and flat so I'm just going to let that set for a minute before I fold it all up that's that piece all done now we just need to cover everything else along mats and layers so these pieces here will cover so you'll need three mats that are two and three quarters by three and three quarters and they're going to go one in the middle and it will sit perfectly within the where these pieces are and you'll have that same border that you should have had with all the other pieces that one's going to go there and that one is going to go there and then the mats to go on top I've got that one there and then these two and these are two and a half by three and a half and they're going to go on top so I'm just going to stick all of those ones down okay so that's those all done so again just every time make sure everything goes nice and flat then it's down to these pieces now they're optional you don't have to do them at all as for any of these other ones you know you can decorate this of course anywhere you like but you will need so exactly the same way again so these are three quarters of an inch by five and three quarters and they're going to go there there there and there and then the longer ones some of you probably already guessed it now five and a half by half and they're going to go over there there there and there okay so I'm going to go and get those now stuck down okay so that's that stuck and now you want to do these three here and these three here so these are the mats and these are two and three quarters by three quarters of an inch so three there and three there and it's these that bring the whole card together you can really appreciate all the kind of sections and stuff and then again you want six pieces that are two and a half by half and they're going to go over at the top and all of these papers are all from that paper pack so everything matches together so I'm going to stick those down okay so that's everything now stuck down so it is bulky but like I said that's the style of it so it's meant to be like that but um now it's down to the decoration so I've already gone and created my little bunting there using this is the bunting pack so you get the 16 mini bunting and twine you love these I've used them loads then I've got my message for the centre and this one is going to have with love that one's a little bit crooked so let's get that one there and that's the eight sentiment toppers then I'm using the bird which is here the wooden bird and those are just the six wooden toppers again all these will be linked you also get the Wellington boots you can always use those ones I haven't used many of them yet so I need to then I'm using these paper flowers here which are just the 12 paper flowers then I'm using the picket fence but they're called the ten wooden shades but there's only four of these left so that's those now gone and I'm going to have two there and two there now these do add a lot of bulk to them so again do take that into account mine is much much bulkier than probably yours will be but I love it this is how I like to make my cards so I'm going to get a brad to go there the leaves for this from the 30 paper blossoms and leaves I'm just going to take out three of those and then the stickers that I have here and here are from the sticker set so I'm going to obviously use something different because you only get one of each so I'm probably going to add the Wellington boot instead of the watering can and then there I will have this other bird one probably so I'll pop them on in a moment so I'm going to pop this on high speed now I've got a hot glue gun ready and yeah get this all decorated and make it look really pretty so I've done that little puffy sticker there with the bird and the picket fence the bunting's all stuck down that's the centre part and then this side here I've got the Wellington boot and I also popped one of the puffy stickers that's the fork and there's some others there I might add like the welcome to our garden could maybe go maybe go here actually so you might see them in the photos I might play around the hello I'm not sure about that one but anyway there are obviously lots there that you can choose we've got some glue strings I need to get rid of but yeah there you have it absolutely gorgeous so just make sure like I said it does fold nice and flat the back's all ready to go and then now I'll show you the envelope okay so the measurements of this card it once it's all folded flat is six by nine now on the envelope punch board it goes up to six by eight and a half and it tells you you need a piece of eleven and a half by eleven and a half and score at four and seven eights so I figured that surely if I used a piece of twelve by twelve and scored at five because not any of these score line measurements use the very very last one which is five so I done it and it worked so here's a piece of twelve by twelve it's the paper from the pack it's not cardstock so that's the nice thing I'm able to make really nice envelopes with this collection because it is a nice paper so I'm just going to take my stylus out here so I'm lining it right up with the five punch and score don't worry that you can't score all the way off just go as far as you can rotate the whole thing around so you've got the opposite flat side pop it back in at five punch and score and then rotate it onto the next flat one and just bring it along until this corner meets up this kind of piece here runs nice and flush with the score line you will see it sticking out and then you can punch and score again now I'm going to that last side that's not been punched yet and just slide it all the way along until that lines up with their punch and score okay so don't worry that you haven't been able to score all the way off say for example on this one here and here because now if you fold you can see the score line doesn't go all the way to the end but that's fine if you fold along where it has scored and then just carefully continue it there because it's paper it should be fine fold those all around okay and then like I did with I can't remember what the other bulky card was that I'd done but if you get the card itself and pop it in and then stick the envelope down whilst the card's in the envelope that way you know it's going to fit so I can bring this all up and you'll see it will go in it's got plenty of room it's just mine is bulky so yeah you probably won't have wooden pieces that you're using on them and those picket fences so if you imagine that comes off it will fit in much much easier but yeah so leave that in there actually I need to use this one because I've already done the envelope for that one so this is the one I've got to do and I'm just going to grab some of my red tape okay and I'm going to run that take that out for the minute so this is the bottom so the side pieces I'm just going to run red tape along that one rotate the backing off and then bring this over and you'll see there's plenty of room because there's a score line and there's a score I've got all that space so it's got plenty of room I don't know why they don't put it on there as the final measurement because it clearly makes an envelope so it's the first time I've made an envelope this big with the punch board but I thought it's the size I need so I'm just wrapping it around try not to do it too tight I think that's what I done with the other ones I did kind of really pull it around just kind of let it kind of just bounce a bit and then bring up the bottom and wherever it falls just let it stick like so and then with the top one I'm just going to use some normal double-sided okay and now your envelope is all ready to stick down when you need to like so so it does work and that comes out much easier so I think I yeah I think I done my other one a bit too tight there we go so now you have that real nice kind of dimensional envelope so I do like doing them like this alternatively you can make a box for it but like I said most of mine get hand delivered or if I do post it I put it in like a jiffy bag and stuff anyway so it's protected but I love these I think they are super cute and perfect for those real special birthdays as I always say when you've got like a center part like this you can have the you know special 21st birthday and 50th 60th 100th birthday it's just great for those but also for wedding cards engagements things like that and also if you've got staff cards staff cards cards that you're making for a colleague and lots of the staff need to sign them you have so much space on the back for signatures so I know a couple of you do make a lot of cards for your work colleagues so yeah this is a perfect one for that so bring in the other envelope there and yeah there you have it guys so I hope you like them try and get them both in there there we go I've thoroughly enjoyed these ones any time I use this collection it's just my favorite I'm just I get lost in a world and yeah have fun so I hope you've enjoyed
