 Hi everybody, it's Sam at Mixed Up Craft. Thank you for watching my tutorial today. So I've made another cube style box. I actually wanted to make one in 5x7. I tend to, if I ever make a card and I've made it first in a 6x6, then I try to, you know, change those measurements to make a 5x7 version and vice versa. They're the two sizes that I really like and they're always well received on the channel. So I wanted to do this one in a 5x7 and then I thought what about adding two more onto the back. So this is what you get and it looks brilliant. It all still folds up. So if you've made the 6x6, which I shared a couple of days ago, and I'll link it up here, then you can just add two more cubes to the back. You've got room there all on the back to stamp your message as well. But by adding those extras, it just looks really cool. And during the live, because I made this show on the Facebook live, I was going down the route of a quad cube card or something like that. And then Mary, who was in the chat, she said, what about a pentacube box card? And that's what we've gone with. Everybody really liked the name. So this is a pentacube box card in the 5x7. So if you don't want to have the two at the back, then if you can see, get rid of them. You just have that really cool effect. And that's just the same as the triple cube, which I shared a couple of days ago. So this one is using the Maker Wish Papers by Dovecraft. And then today's card, I'm going to be using the Craft Consortium Circus. So let me show you how to make it. Okay, so the stamps I've used is this one here. It's gorgeous. It's just such a big, lovely style. And this is by Apple Blossom. And it's the Heartfelt Moments Collection. And I just stamped it and then cut it, just, you know, fussy cut. And the color I used for that one, which works really well, is the Fuchsia. It matched perfectly with this beautiful glitter card, which is from B&M. So I had another look at the packs of the, you know, the card that I had in that pack. And I'm going to use this blue today. So again, if you've got the B&M glitter card, someone said it was £1.99 for 12. I remember I brought it a while ago, but it's lovely. It's non-shared and it's just, this is a really rich, very royal kind of blue. But the ocean blue is the ink color that I've yet chosen there to stamp that one. And then there's another one that goes with it. I just thought I'd show it. It's very long, but it's still beautiful. It's that kind of script or brush writing. Again, that's the birthday stamp set and that one's just the party. For the sentiments, I'm going to use this one for today's card, which says, nothing says happy birthday like a piece of folded card. That's the Woodwear Clear Magic and it's the Little Things. And then on the back of this one, you can just see there, better girls just want to have fun. And that again is by Woodwear and it's this one here and it's the one for the girls. So those are all the stamps. So I've gone ahead, I've done all my mats and layers and I have done all these bits, which I can talk about in more detail. It's very straightforward and, you know, so many people have been sharing this on the group. And it's just, yeah, it's a really, really nice card to do and pretty quick as well. So for the 5x7 version, you want a piece of card stock that is 10.5x7, okay? And along the 10.5 inch side, you're just going to score it 2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10, okay? And then you want two strips of 10.5x2.5, okay? And along the 10.5, you're going to score again. So 2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10. And you want two pieces. And I'll tell you the mats and layers sizes while I'm here, because then you can decide what ones you want. So I've got these two longer pieces because I like the plane inside here, so that when it's displayed, you see this, the tops of it. So these are 2.25x6.75 and I've got the two pieces. Then for the front two here, and then obviously you'll want two for the back. I'm going to have just plain, I'm going to stamp directly onto this card that I'm doing today, because I've got more of the blue, but I didn't want to cut into a nice fresh piece just for this small bit. So you'll want four pieces that are 2.25x4.25, and then you'll want three pieces that are 2x4 in the pattern paper. All these measurements will be in my blog, because one of these will be plain for you to stamp your message, or you might want to do two. I've just got this pattern here. So again, this is all from that circus, and can you see it's got like a coating on the balloons that shine? It looks really nice. And then I've got 16 pieces of 2.25 squared, and then I've just done pattern paper to cover the squares. So in this case, I've only done eight. So 16, yeah, that are 2.25 squared, and they're going to cover all the tops, the inside, the bottom, and the front. But then I only want to do pattern paper on the front and on the inside here, so I only need eight. So I've got four in the balloon, which is 2x2, and four in that same pattern print again, which is 2x2. So I've stuck them already on top of each other. Okay, so now you just want to fold and burnish all of your score lines. Okay, so you'll have two pieces like this and then this piece here. So we'll put this together first. So I'm just going to pop my glue onto the side tab there. Fold this one over, and then fold that on top. And then I like to fold it like so. So the join is now here on the right hand side, and that's the side that it's going to be on when we display it. So I'm going to always keep that join there, so that way you won't see any joins on the back, and you won't have a join on that front piece. It'll be on this side, so it's a lot less noticeable, because that folded piece there, that tab, is facing on this side, so you don't see it. So again, you want to do that with these two here, so just a bit of glue on your tab. Fold it in and fold that one over. Okay, so now we've got all these pieces. Now if you want to put your mat layers, just as I said on the 6x6 version, you might want to stick them in before you stick this together, because if you look on this one here, you've got these stuck inside, and my join is down here. So where's that? So here, I have this join right down at the bottom on the front, so again, you don't see it when you look inside. So before you stick that down, if you want to stick one in here and then one on the bottom, you can. You can do them now, which I'll probably do actually before I stick it onto this piece, but you can see there, you know, it's quite easy to do. So I'm going to grab these ones here. So I'm going to have the balloon on the front. So I'm going to have... Just realised you want four of these. I'm thinking I've got all these pieces. So at the minute, I've just done the triples. You just want to cut two more of them. I'll put a little thing at the top to say you want four, not two. And I'll do that. I'll grab that in a minute. So yeah, you want to do two more of these pieces. And but lots of you will just want to do the triple anyway, which looks really nice. And again, pop that one there. And then these ones, again, patterned. Going to go in the back here. And then I've got these ones, which are going to go on the tops and on the insides there. Okay, like so. So you're going to do that. I'm going to go get two more of these cuts and do have two more of these. But if you just want to do the triple, we're then going to stick those now onto the bottom here. And then we'll put our other mats and layers on here. Okay, okay. So now I've got my four pieces. So these are all ready to connect to this. So whether you've got the four or the two, it will still be the same. So again, I've got that join on the right hand side. So first of all, that one's the last one. That one's still drying a little bit. So you've got your join. You should have your join at the bottom here from. This back one is where you're going to add your glue. And you're just going to stick it to the bottom corner of that panel. And then you'll do the same on that one and on the back. And just fold them up so you can see they sit. You can push them together if you're using a liquid glue. And that way, you know, you're, it's going to fall down nicely, but you're also keeping everything within that size and then flip it over and then just do the same. Okay, so now you can open it up and they all drop down. And you can see that wonderful effect that you get. Then you can just bring in these ones here. So I'm going to stick the two with the balloons on the front panels here. And then this one on the back. And then the other one I'm going to leave blank and just stamp directly onto that in a moment. And then these two pieces will go inside those back sections. Okay, so there is the card with all the mats and layers on it. And I think it looks fantastic. So now it's just down to decoration. So I've cut the party and the happy birthday. And I've got all these little pieces here, which I'm going to decorate on the top. I love this one here with the show. I reckon I thought I had another one now. And there's all the other bits there anyway. So they're all cut. For these, these are just my little kind of like tassels. I made these in one of my display cards. And I'll link it if you want to see how to make them. But literally you just cut a strip, then you cut lots and lots of little, you know, cut lines into it. So you've got this tassel trim and then just roll it up. And then I just kind of pull it apart. And I'm going to stick that to the back. I've got my hot glue gun on there. Once I've stuck this down, it's going to go behind the party. And then that sticks out there. And I think it looks really, really fun. So to attach this, you just want to grab. It's easier for me to do it like this, because everybody's going to have something different. Or you can use little circles and punch those together, which I'll show you as well. Actually, I think the circles might be easier to show. So this could be squares as well, but you want them to be circles that are going to be small enough to go behind your sentiment. I'll do it differently for that one, because obviously that's a lot smaller. But then just fold them in half. Also, you can do the way that I made it on the six by six. Okay, because that's where I was going to do this strip way. But this is another fun way to do it. And you just fold it in half. Okay, and I've just put glue onto one half there. And you're going to put that so that the fold kind of runs through the center of your piece there. Because you're going to attach glue to that part and then stick it so it sits in the middle of your card. So again, if I put a little bit of glue on that one. And then with this one, you're going to stick it next to that one. So it forms a circle shape again. But then you've got these two pieces that lift up that you can then add your glue to and then put each side of that score line. So I'm just going to hold that in place for a second so they grab. Okay, so you can just see what I've done. So now I'm going to add glue in there. And then I can stick that. You can see what I'm doing there. Either side of that score line. You can just lie the whole thing flat. Then you can kind of see how high up you want to. I'm going to keep it about there anyway. And then when you open it up, this will be able to rock and pop out. But it's still attached because of the way that you've done those semicircles. And it's the same way when I make the strip. So yeah, have a look if you're new to this style. Check out the six by six version as well. And it'll show you a slightly different way to do that. And then I'm just going to add some hot glue to the edge there. And then pop that there. Obviously I'm adding a lot of dimension to this so I would recommend one of my box envelopes. So I'll link them as well. If not, they'll be at the end of the tutorial. Because those are just so handy, those box envelopes for when you do add dimension to the cards. But if you're keeping everything pretty flat, then it will fit into just a normal envelope or one of my bouncy envelopes. And then I'm going to stick all these down and then I'm going to stick this one down with the strip. So I'm just cutting a very, very thin strip that's going to fit behind that sentiment. And you don't have to score this. I'm just going to, so you're going to fold, have it, you know, it's about four inches long. So I'm just going to fold like so, like so. And then kind of push them together like this, roughly to the middle, and then fold them back, you know, onto themselves. And then you can just trim, you don't have to trim the edges off, but it would just keep everything tidy, like so. But now we've got that same kind of thing. If I move that, that's the shape you want. Okay. And then I'm going to add glue all to the front of this piece and stick that onto the sentiment. Again, get it in the middle. And then now all you need to do is add glue to these two pieces here and stick them again either side of that score line. And it will give you this very, very similar effect. So, you know, if you just want to do something quick like that, but it has to hide behind, obviously those circles wouldn't hide behind this one. And then I'm just going to go inside here. I can see the score line just about lost it now. And let's just open that up. There we go. Because I'm using the liquid glue, I've got time to kind of wiggle it around. You can do one half at a time. Once you get it in place, it will then pop out. You see there? So you can just see inside where it's stuck either side. But it means that when that comes into its 3D shape, the sentiments, you know, and the party there, they all just pop out in front of you. It looks really nice. So I'm just going to finish sticking these down and then we're done. Okay. And there's the finished card. So I've got our lovely decoration on the top. You can put some Nouveau drops on there as well, if you wanted to. But I love it. It just looks so good. And like I said, you know, you don't have to have the two at the back. So you would just have the triple cube effect. But that's the five by seven size. I really like it. I like it. It's got that like taller tower in the center there. So I'll just bring back that one again. Don't they look great together? Such fun, vibrant cards. So I will link up again the six by six triple cube that will be up here. I'll also link my floating pop box because that is this centerpiece on its own. And I've cut an aperture in it and you can have things popping out just like the sentiments. So again, if you like that style, you might enjoy that card as well. And also if you haven't already, but if you click on my face and then if you hit the notification bell, you'll be notified every time I upload a new tutorial. So thank you for watching and I'll be back again soon. Bye.
