 Hi everybody it's Sam at Mixed Up Craft thank you for watching my tutorial today. So as promised here is the stand and pop card without using any specific dies so you will all be able to make this and it's a really fun card. So what it does is it folds flat like this and then this little back piece will fold down and it will all fit into your envelope. Now this was my prototype this was the one I was actually making alongside the one that I shared on Monday so if anybody hasn't seen Mondays that was using a beautiful clock die and I'll link that one up here and I was doing thinking of ways to use that and when I started doing it I thought oh let's just try it so like I said I was playing around and this is what I've done so the size of this is a bit bizarre it's six by five which is not really a size that I would do because I had to cut a few bits just to kind of play around with it but you can see when it comes down how this looks and then this back piece I actually really like this one so it's like a little page so when you open it you have a place to write your message but also that now becomes a stand and what it will do is it will keep the card perfectly upright in a 45 degree angle okay and it just I put it on the mantle downstairs just to kind of stand and look at it and I was again I just loved it I'd bring it up closer I've done all this decoration I'll show you the collection that I've used in a moment and I just think it's a really fun happy card and this would work for so many occasions it would make a lovely actual cake tier you could have it as a wedding card any you know masculine theme cards you just have to change the papers but you can certainly go to town with this and I'll talk you through all of that it's nice and easy to make I think it's got a great profile and I'm really pleased with this one so I hope you enjoy the tutorial and let's get straight into it okay so this is the paper pad I'm using it's a old dovecraft one and there was all the you know the embellishments and everything to go with it and it's called make a wish but I know there's still places online where you can get this so I'll share any links below but you can see all the lovely patterns and the things that I love about dovecraft papers is they are they always have elements that you can firstly cut and I love that or you can pop them through your scanner cut and you know they can cut them for you but I've cut the the party hats I've cut the cakes I've cut the presents but then you've also got balloons there you've got you know your sundae and your ice cream and you've got cocktails as well it's a really fun moment and then some great background papers so what I've chosen here is I've actually gone for the same papers but I've gone for a brighter colour and I think a better size because this one will now fit into a five by seven envelope so yeah so I've gone ahead and just fussy cut all these pieces I'm going to show you how to make these tiny little tassels they're super cute and these ones I've used the holographic the dovecraft holographic card and I just think that's going to add some lovely sparkle so we'll talk through all those and we'll talk through the back pieces the mats and layers all of keep all the blue bits I know they're the bits that are the first bits we use so we'll crack on with them first okay so first of all for the back you want a piece of seven by four and a half then for the front you want a piece that is nine by four and a half for the pop-out piece on the front you want a piece that is six and a quarter by three this piece is going to go on the very front and this is five by two so that's the full width of the card and then this little piece is to be honest you may not find you need it but it's just like an extra support here it will I guess it yeah you will need it because it will stop this bit kind of fanning out and maybe sliding so yeah this piece is three by one this piece you want to score along the three inch side at half an inch and two and a half and then this piece should have the scoring before this is the six and a quarter by three along the six and a quarter side you want to score a quarter of an inch five and a quarter that piece is no scoring and then this piece which is that four and a half by nine yeah you want to score at one inch and three in fact I'd flip it over and score the three again because you're going to fold the three so it's a valley and then that first one so it's a mountain so it's like that okay then for the mats and layers I'll talk through those in a bit because we don't need to use the scoreboard anymore and that will make more sense when we stick it all together okay I just started putting glue on that piece and you don't you just want to put your glue on this piece here okay because you don't want to go all the way down to the bottom just like so and then I'm just going to rub this bottom bit away and then I'm just going to stick this one on to the back of this one line it up like so and then that piece will overhang at the bottom and it will line up so you'll have a one inch overhang here which will sit perfectly with this one inch fold there okay then we want this piece here which we're going to sit over the top there so this white mat is a piece of four and a quarter by five and three quarters and then the pattern paper is four by five and a half so again I'm just going to add my glue just to the back of that panel then I've got this piece which is going to go in here this is optional but you can see it there it's just a little bit more detail if you want but again entirely up to you and this is a piece of one and three quarters by four and a quarter that's the white piece and the pattern piece is one and a half by four so again I'm going to stick that one down then we want this piece here so just fold and burnish all the score lines so they're all mountain folds so it will be like that the little quarter inch piece okay and then before you stick it down it's just a little bit easier this piece here I'll give you the measurements for it's just to mat that square you may want to stamp on this you may do a nice coloured stamped image or fussy cut and die cut something but I'm just going to be sticking all of that you know lovely decoration there so I'm just sticking that in the middle and this one was two and three quarters by three and three quarters now we can start sticking this one down so the end where you've just got the one inch piece okay not this one here we'll do that last you just want to add some glue like so and you're going to pop this so it butts right up to that score line but make sure you've got it nice and you know in the middle of this this piece here so I'm just going to lay that down about there we're going to wiggle it around a bit if you just fold the whole thing over you'll be able to also see there if you've got it lined up probably go across to the right just a little bit and just flip the whole thing over and it's just easier for you to be able to just push down on that and make sure you get it all secure so I'm just going to spend a minute doing that okay while that's drying I've just got this piece just fold over the tabs so they're both mounting folds like this and you want to add glue onto both of them okay and then what you're going to do is turn it up so this runs flat with the bottom of it will be flat with the bottom of the card you want to stick it onto this piece so it runs flush with the bottom if you light down keeping that nice folded piece running flat along there again if I just bring it up it's right at the bottom of the card there okay fold the whole thing up and just fold that down it will meet up with it perfectly so you can just sit here now and just push down on everything making sure that's all secure and then again while we're still there you want to add glue onto this whole area just that that one inch section okay and then this piece you want to sit so the bottom of this runs with the bottom of that piece but you will have a quarter of an inch overhanging on each side but you want it to be flat with the top with that bit but it overhangs and we're creating this piece here because you see I've got all that overhanging here above that one inch piece but it is flush with the bottom again just spend a minute now just making sure everything is stuck down okay then I've got this piece which is going to decorate this here and this measures one and three quarters by four and three quarters for the white piece and the pattern is one and a half by four and a half so again I'm just going to stick that one down okay and now you pull down that piece and that's what you should have so this is that bit that overhangs but it's running flush with the bottom there and then all we've got left to do is pop some glue on that quarter inch tab fold it right over so it's flat and fold the card back up again into that position into its flat position and now that whole piece will fit into a five by seven envelope because this is your you know your kind of width the widest part is this piece here but what it also means is when you decorate and have things overhanging they can overhang up to the width of this because if you see on this one when it all folds flat see I've got all these bits overhanging so that's why you cut the that's why you cut the back piece in slightly to the actual width of the envelope that you want and it just then allows you to be able to have that space to decorate so again I'm just going to make sure that all sticks down so I'm going to flip it over and work on the back for a minute so to be honest I was thinking about it and I thought you don't really need to have this piece as well as this but then some of you might because the idea is is that this is going to stick on there and then I'm having this decorative piece like so so it's up to you I don't know whether some of you might want to skip this piece but I'll give you the measurements in a second but this one I'm going to lay down festival it's a very very strong card I'm using heavyweight cardstock and I'm using the cloud so the whole thing is is yeah it's just incredibly strong so this one you want the bottom the white piece to go flat with the bottom okay so the measurement that I've given will you know give you a nice border on three sides but you want it to be flush with the bottom so it's four and a quarter I think it was five and yeah six and seven eighths of an inch and then you want another piece that's the same but along the four and a quarter you want to score it two and one eighth of an inch right down through the middle stamp it on the left hand side fold it up so it's like a book okay and then you're going to add glue all to the back of the side where you've stamped and like I said this is going to be your stand and then this will sit perfectly over that white piece and it will run flush with the bottom okay so it's very neat and I'm just going to fold that right over and then this piece here again nice and decorative this is one and three quarters by six and five eighths and then the pattern paper is one and a half by six and three eighths and again this one you do want it to have a nice border on all four sides that's why it's slightly funny measurements on the back piece just because I just thought it looked odd having the white piece that I laid down first here to have a border on all four sides and then the stand to come down and you have a bit of I just thought it again I'm always looking at things on how they finally finish and I'm very much about the things looking pleasing to the eye and that just didn't work for me so that's why I thought it's best if it goes completely flat with the bottom but now you can see you've got your stand now if you want to decorate that more you can I may well add some more paper to that I've got a few scraps now okay sorry I just had to stop the video so now when I pull up the side you'll see there it looks really cool so then you just position your stand and the thing I like about this is it easy for someone to understand when they get this out of an envelope because that's just going to come down they're going to do that naturally and then they'll see this and and work out that that's obviously part of the stand but now hey so then we need to decorate so I'll just talk you through how you make these little tassels you just want a piece of one and a quarter squared card and then I've just got my snips and I'm just cutting down very thin amounts I do have the vegetable scissors but there is it's too thick the strips I want nice thin ones so I'm just going along here with my snips and just creating lots of little strips tassels like so and then I'm just going to curl it slightly like that and then I'm just going to start rolling it so just like you would they are just little tassels but I think they're so cute just roll and roll and roll and then when you get to the end so just roll it up there I'm just going to pop a little bead of glue and then just roll that around don't burn yourself and then what I started to do is just kind of like fan it out a little bit because you'll find you'll be able to manipulate that card and then I'm just going to cut off that hot glue now that's set just because it was the oozy and then what I done is I just got the end of my bone folded just kind of squashed it because you don't want this to add a huge amount of bulk I mean the card's got a bit of bulk to it anyway but just kind of flatten the the knot but then just kind of spread it out a little bit like so that's what I've done with those so now they're ready to stick on the card so I have gone and cut two of the presents and then one of the cake and the cake I've put them all on foam actually the presents on the cake so I'm just going to take the backing off of those and I'm just going to have it about there nice and centered and then the presents I've already put some foam just on one side because this is going to overhang so I don't want anything sticky so I'm going to pop that one there and then this one on the other side that's got a bit of foam overhang in there I'll have to when you have that see I've got the foam overhanging I'm just going to use some of my anti-static powder and just rub it on the back of that and then it won't stick then these ones here I've got kind of poking out from the top so I'm just going to pop a bit of glue there and just slide that one in where did I have it like like that there we go and then again this one here then the happy birthday is from the new stamp set that I shared in my what did I get I absolutely love it and I've already started using some of the other ones and it's just this one here and then I just went and fussy cut it just kind of following the the flow of the letters and yeah just so it looked quite nice so again I've gone and popped some foam on the back like so and then this one is going to sit in the middle there like so and then I just need to stick these down so I've got two that are going to come out from behind the front piece so I'm just going to pop a little bit of hot glue and I'm going to have one there and once they're completely secure I will found them out a little bit more as well and then I'm going to have another one just there and then just again just kind of pull them you can be a bit more tough with them because they're secure now I don't want to pull on them I'm just prizing them apart and there you have it I am so pleased with this I think it looks absolutely adorable it's such a lovely looking card and I don't think there's going to be anybody that you give that to that won't enjoy this it's just it it doesn't take long to do and I think that's a nice thing because when someone gets this you know you can spend a long time on it by all means you may be doing a lot of coloring and like I said in going you could do a beautiful bouquet you know and lots of detail and flowers but you don't have to do an awful lot for it to still look pretty spectacular and I think this is in it I think it is it's I think it's a bit of a showstopper card I might put it in the showstopper album because if anybody likes those big kind of grand cards then head over I'll pop that up here actually it's a really good playlist with bigger cards so again like I say always for those special birthdays but this would look great with a big number in the center there so I love it oh I am can you be in love with a card I'm in love with a card I love it anyway you know I get really excited so there you have it I hope you've enjoyed this version using no dies and I'll be looking out for your versions over on the mixed up crafters facebook page so thank you for watching and I'll be back again soon with another tutorial bye
