 Hi everybody, it's Sam at Mixed Up Craft and thank you for watching today's tutorial. This week's hobby based card I'm going to be showing you how to make this floating slide and pop or slide and stand card. So it's on acetate which you can see there and it's got a lovely little sentiment happy birthday at the bottom there and then this one says leave a little sparkle wherever you go and it's using the hobby based butterfly dies this week and the Paradise Crush papers from first edition and then on the back I've just put another same size rectangle die cut so you can write your message and then basically what happens was this is how it stands up and then you slide it up like so and it will go in your envelope. So I made one of these last year and I will if I can link in or if not just follow my head on over to my YouTube. This may well end up going up on YouTube as well but it does fit in because I measured this one and this is a seven and a half by six card so there you go it fits in there nicely so it's all perfect to post but the recipient will obviously receive it and I've just bent that one so I need to be a bit more careful when I put it in there you go it's fine we'll receive it like this and they will know I mean they'll look at it and they'll probably put it down like this and it will start to just fall down and as it does it just pushes into place and you have this really really lovely card and I think these are great and it's a bit floppy and wobbly but it does stand up this is a strong acetate you need a strong acetate don't have the the really loose kind of stuff actually this is from packaging I always say will the packaging that my die cuts any stamps come in because that's really solid strong acetate so just clean it up and yeah it's perfect but when you look at it this profile looking on it is completely clear and those butterflies and that sentiment does look like it's floating so it's a really lovely card so let's crack on and make it so we're going to be using all of this here I'm going to make exactly the same because I love it so much so this is the dye it's the hobby base dye and I've gone ahead and cut them all out and you don't need to watch me die cut them and I've used these on many many hobby base tutorials and that is the butterflies so really nice so you need for them or to be honest as many or as few as you want and you might not be using butterflies anyway this is the paper pack so that is the Paradise Crush again I've raved about this one it's really lovely and I've made some really beautiful cards using this pack the ones I'm using today these here and it's the textured ones at the very beginning so these have got a feel like a fabric feel to them so again there's a real kind of so what's the word lots of texture and just quality feel to the card so it's really nice then I've just got some little embellishments and things to decorate I've already done my stamp and I've heat embossed my sentiment there and this is a dovecraft sentiment most of this if not all of it is still available on the hobby base page and to head on over to the website okay so scoring along the 11 inch size is an 11 by six piece of cardstock scoring along the 11 you want to score at one inch two and three quarters three and three quarters five and a half seven and a quarter eight and a quarter and ten okay so straightforward there I'm just gonna get rid of the scoreboard and then do is you're gonna need a cutting knife and a metal ruler and first of all you just want to mark my pencil at one inch so in this central five and a half inch line here the one right in the middle pop it the other way and you want to come in along that a five and a half inch scoreline at one inch and just put a little pencil mark you can rub it out okay then you want to cut now what I would do if you can is try and cut to each side of the score line so you'll have like a couple of millimeter strip that you'll create it just helps with if you've got things like this here that creates extra bulk so by just creating a slightly larger rather than just cutting it and leaving it if you just cut almost a piece out of it it will actually help the overall look for the card and you'll be able to add a little bit more so I'm popping this to the left hand side of the scoreline and from that one inch mark to the other watching your fingers you just want to cut straight down if I just bring that up you can see the scoreline here I've cut to the left hand side of it so now I'm going to cut here to the right hand side and that will give me a nice little strip in the middle so again just like so you can see now I can pull this piece up here just in the middle you can see the width there it's a couple of millimeters and that's that scoreline removed and then I'm not going to use my ruler now but just on that pencil mark just kind of detach that piece that we've just cut and it's easier to just kind of poke it with the very end of your knife rather than go in and try and cut the whole thing and it'll give you a need to finish so you can see now I've taken out a very very small like I said it's a couple of millimeters but you can just cut it but then you wouldn't really be able to put anything else on that acetate you wouldn't be able to put a sentiment on there you just have to leave it all clear and just maybe keep the sentiment down here so that's that then I'm just going to rub out that pencil like so okay so now we can go along and burnish all of those score lines so every single one you just want to score along like so flip it over and basically these two here these one inch outer pieces are going to stick together like so and then you get that effect they're going to stick and stay in like that okay and then that's going to squeeze up and create that pop-up effect so first of all doesn't matter which one you start with I'm going to use this one here and just grab some double-sided tape and run it along the bottom I tell you one thing I forgot to tell you what you need and that's the size of your acetate totally forgot that bit it's the probably the the main part of the card so it's fine we'll go through that in a second so just remove this backing so your acetate it's because I couldn't see it so I've got mine here and like I said it's strong it's a really really tough piece of acetate so this measures four by six so slightly just under four it's three and seven eighths actually we just cut my slit yeah I mean four would probably fit in that yeah just but I'd go for three and seven eighths because it's obviously what it is so what you want to do is the very bottom of your it's hard for you me to show you this the thin the shortest side of your acetate so mine is here it's going to stick down here but you need to thread it through this bit first okay so you can just sit coming out the other side to pop it in there and then line it up with the very bottom of this piece here okay and you've got to make sure it's straight otherwise it won't slide up and down properly okay so I've stuck it on this that shortest side of your acetate is lining up with the bottom piece here and it's already gone through there okay now you want to put tape over that acetate so then this one fold it right over and just fold the whole card in half and it will perfectly line up and sit on top okay so now when we push that down we've got a pop-up but we need to work it a bit so you just need to just kind of push the two together there for a bit so you can see now and that's how it works so when you squeeze it up it slides up to the acetate and that goes in the envelope now also when it's completely flattened like that that is the only area you have to stick anything 3d so the butterflies for example because once it gets past if it doesn't if it so you've got something and it's there it's going to stop it going completely flat and you wouldn't be able to put it in an envelope okay but it also means that the sentiment that I'm putting on because we're going to layer this on that side and that side it's going to create bulk but because we've removed that few millimeters here it will allow it to slide through so that's now all done so just lie it kind of flat down like so and we can decorate it so I've got here four strips so I've got two that are five and three quarters by one and a half and then two that are three quarters of an inch again by five and three quarters so you've got two that are going to go on each of the sides and then two that are going to go on the very tops so I've already popped my tape on them okay so that is now all of those sides covered and it also just makes sure it starts to make your stand much stronger and it will obviously hold itself there so now let me just get rid of all of this rubbish we need to pop on our sentiment so I've got like I said two of them because one is for the back which is going to have where you can write your message so take off all my backing again and it's entirely up to you where you want it to go I just bring this one in here from when it's kind of all in its place in its position this is my sentiment is one and a half inches up so I'm gonna make sure it's nice and even on each side of your acetate there it's really hard for you to see because it's obviously see through and then the other one and that just tidies it up but also is practical because you can obviously use it for your message like so and it's easy to fill out you just like flat and you can go ahead and write on that so that's that piece then I've got my happy birthday which I'd already peeled off and then remembered that I'm filming this so that is gonna go with a nice little frame like so I've got some embellishments here I'm gonna pop because after all the sentiment says leave a little sparkle lots of bling forgot to say as well I added Winkastella on the butterflies so they sparkle as well although I haven't done these ones yet but that was another thing I added okay so now we will have the top I bring that in now I'm wondering whether you can see the acetate a bit better there so now I'm just gonna decorate my butterflies so this time I'm gonna have because I've got the two blue at the top and then the pinks here so this time just to make it a little bit different I'm gonna have two pink ones like so a blue one there and then the blue one down here so what I've done or I did do but not on that one is let me just grab the end of here is put a tiny little bit of red tape just on the back of the body of the butterfly so that then you can lift up the wings and just take off the tiniest piece trying to take off the backing there we go so just bend in the wings a little bit there and then I'm gonna pop this right on the kind of corner there of the acetate bearing in mind that when it lies down completely flat it needs to measure no more than seven and a half no that was wrong it's got to be when it's closed sorry that way so now you can see that slides up when it's closed like that it can't be any more than seven and a half so mine seven and a quarter at the moment so that's fine okay so just keep that in mind so actually keep it flat like that and then you know where you can I mean if you go any bigger you're just gonna have to make a bigger envelope that's all so it's not the end of the world but if you can use your envelope punch board and make it then that's good and then this one here it's gonna go in the middle like so and then I've got this other one here which is going to bend him slightly he's gonna be he's on the on the side piece that's where he's actually stuck on the side piece without going over too much because you need to obviously sit down and then I've got one of these just for some more bling and that's gonna go right up here and you can see it doesn't obstruct the closure I caught it a little bit on that one but it was fine it still didn't make it so now you can see there that there's nothing obstructing that card but when you open and close it you have this gorgeous card and I just think it's so lovely and again when that's sat on the mantle we're bringing both in here and they kind of just move around like that as well with the butterflies on that they look really really lovely but you do need a strong acetate okay so if it's anything very flimsy it will not work as soon as you start putting weight it's just going to start kind of I mean it won't bend all over but it will certainly kind of be more like that so just bear that in mind and have a look but yeah they function really really well just slides completely closed and like I said on your envelope punch board they are the six by seven and a half card size okay so it's on the third column and it's telling you that you need a piece of 10 and three quarters by 10 and three quarters paper your first scoreline is at four and seven eighths of an inch there is a tutorial showing you how to use this as well on my facebook and on my youtube channel so check that out but there you have it two really fun floating slide and stand or slide and pop cards and I hope you enjoyed them so I hope you've liked this week's hobby based card and yeah tune in again next week for more thanks for watching bye
