 Hey everybody it's Sam at Mixed Up Craft, thank you for watching my tutorial today. I'm going to be showing you how I've made these, I guess they're just the same as a pop-up box card but they're just not having all of the elements popping up the top. I've kept everything inside here, so if you've made any of the pop-up boxes I've got a massive playlist, I've got about, I think about 15 different ones, I will link that there so you can check out that for some more inspiration. But I made these two, well kind of made them, this one was kind of ready during my Facebook live, so I thought I would do it for YouTube as well. They will fold flat and fit into a 5x7 envelope. Now this one here I've got one more element which I'm going to add to that which I'm going to show you and this is the one that is finished. I didn't get round to doing the glossy accents and this little cluster here during the live, so for anybody that did watch that you can just see this now finished. And I've also added in three of the silhouette birds here from the fabulous flight stamp set, my one. I just thought they worked really well with this set and then on the back you've got room there to be able to write your message and these ones are both thinking of you cards. So let me show you how to make them. Okay so I've already gone ahead and done all of the bits that I'm going to do for the one I'm showing you today but I am going to stamp another one of the lady and kind of explain all that to you so that you can use any stamps that you want. You don't have to use the set that I have but I will go through that one in a moment. So for the main card and this is easy to adapt and change to other sizes if you want to but this is for a five by seven. So this is a piece of 10 by five cardstock and along the 10 inch side you want to score it half an inch, two and a half, seven and a half and nine and a half. Okay that's it and then you just want another piece of cardstock that's five by five. Now you're also going to want a piece of card stock that is six inches wide. Now you know I'm just going to cut this piece of A4 in half so you don't have to worry too much of the length I mean this is eight and a quarter but once you see you know why then you know you can cut more if you want to but along the six inch side you just want to score it half an inch and five and a half and we're now actually going to stamp you know what we want onto this but you just want to make sure that you keep it to that width of six and it's within the two score lines that that is you know where you're going to stamp your images and cut around them and that's what these bits are here they're all five inches wide and then the half inch tabs either side are what you use to actually stick it into this you know square here. Okay so I'm just going to lay down the ones that I have stamped here already just again so you kind of get an understanding so here you can see the score lines at half an inch and at five and a half there so if you imagine this was on here you can see I've stamped my image there and then I've just cut around it and then coloured it as normal. You can then stamp that one right above the lighthouse because you're always cutting around the top part and then if I wanted to I can bring in the stamp set here this is the one that I've used this actually was given as a freebie with any purchase that you made with craft stash a couple of weeks ago so you had to purchase on that day to get it but also if you subscribe or you've been a long-term subscriber to Creative Stamping magazine this was from Issue 72 and that's where I got my one from but I just thought it was a great one for this kind of you know style card and you have all these long kind of images so you can see the lighthouse one here which I've used you've also got the horizon with the sunset there and then on the backside here you've got the deck chairs which I've used you've got the lady sunbathing and then you have your beach huts which I haven't used at all but you do have this one I think I'm going to do this one as well which is again the kind of horizon line with the boats and I'm going to stamp the lady again for that other card now this one that I'm doing today I've coloured it slightly differently which some of you may notice and I've actually done it that she's just sunbathing on the grass just wanted to see how it looked because the idea with this one is that she's going to be like sat on the coast kind of like the cliff edge and well not the cliff edge you know what I mean we've got parts of this near where I live and it's quite nice to just sit out quite high up and look out to sea so that's what she's you know her view is going to be and then the next one I stamp is going to have I think this one here so the idea is is that those I'm going to probably have the boats a little bit over to that side so you can see them within this area and she will be looking out at that okay so that's the idea so I'm just going to stamp these just to show you how it works like I said it can be whatever you want as long if you're doing the size I'm doing as long as you've scored at half and at five and a half there between so I'm just going to pop this one into my platform and I'm going to stamp the girl now you can stamp her you know to the left or more to the right if you want to because on this one here I stamped her to the left and then on for this one today I'm actually going to have her more to the right because I want her to be here filling this kind of area so you know you can move your stamps across but I guess the key part for this kind of card with the stamped images is to think about your placement think about how they're going to kind of roughly look together you know and yeah then you'll be able to kind of make sure everything you're going to see all the elements like I said I want this here to be there so I'm not actually going to really stamp any of that so with this one here I'm actually going to come quite high up because the card the bottom of it is going to be hidden behind all of this here once I start building it hopefully it'll make more sense but I just wanted to show you different ways to use your stamps so I'm just going to pick that up and I've been using the Harmony by Spectrum Noir quick dry in the noir black because I'm just coloring with colored pencils but it's perfect because it is an instant you know it dries instantly whereas even like you're versifying I love versifying use it all the time but you you do have to wait you know just a couple of minutes until it's completely dry whereas with this it is instant so you can see the lovely images don't worry if you go over because you're going to be gluing those in so you're not going to see any of that but I am just going to just stamp it one more time like so there we go just get a bit more of a darker image now you would continue to stamp some more if that's what you wanted you know depending on how many you need and stuff I've also gone ahead and done these because I'm going to add them to the one that I've partially finished and also to today's one as well now I need to decide how tall I want that to be so if I imagine that's going to be like that she's going to be down here like so so I need to cut this about here I'm going to pop it in my trimmer and just cut it there now what I'm going to do is just you can cut it first if you want but I'm just going to kind of pretend that where I can see that the rest of the horizon you know I could just can draw the rest of that in with some black pen if I wanted to but the lighthouse is probably going to cover some of that but I'm just going to cut just along here and then start cutting around it with a bit of a white border I do like the white border you don't have to but whenever I fussy cut I do tend to leave that in there yes that's ready for me to color and then with her what I've been doing she has got this well I guess it's more the sound than it is grass but you can see it here and then this here is the horizon line of the sea that she's looking out to but I've actually been cutting that away and I've been cutting in from down here so you know you can change your stamps you don't have to have them exactly you know how they've kind of intended again just sniff away all the excess so it makes it easier to cut and then when you get to here you just kind of you know just I'm going to do a few little waves in my cuts there just so it's not completely straight and just kind of cut it off there and then I can kind of continue that black if I want to but now I know where to color but now that one once I've colored it in is going to slide just inside here just to finish this card off and I'll show you how to do it from scratch with the other one but you can see now you know she's looking out to the boats there in the in the distance I just think it's a really fun way to use the stamps and then on that one there she's over to the left and she's looking out that way so I just wanted to I cut a lot of them and prepared a lot of them you know for the live so I had these kind of leftover and then again this one now you can kind of you know pretend to kind of place it all down so you're going to have that one with that one and then that one something like that and they will all have a half inch gap in between each one when we stick them in okay so before I color those in so I'll pop that on high speed you want to get this piece and you need to cut your aperture now depending on your scene your theme all that kind of stuff you can have it any shape you want I'm just going to lay down this die here which is four and one eighths of an inch squared it's just from my nest of square dies four by four will be fine I wouldn't go any bigger because you can see the size of the frame that you get with that size you know if you start to go too thin it's going to be very flimsy but I have reinforced it with the frame here again I will show you that in a moment but I'm just going to sit this down in the center there and I'm just going to run that through my machine okay so just take that one away save that and now we've got our opening there and then you just want to very carefully just fold and burnish your score lines and then that five by five piece you'll actually want two pieces of five by five not the one because this one is going to go inside and we're going to stick those pieces like that and then you'll want another piece to cover that up now you could also stamp directly onto this ink it up all that great stuff and you could also use your pattern paper with this you may not want to do any stamping this is all pattern paper you might have lots of flowers all kinds of things inside there's you know loads of ways to make this work for your style but now I'm going to pop it on high speed and I'm just going to get these colored in okay so I've finished all of that and I've colored this one here I think it looks really nice so I'm just going to pop some glue on the tab here and I'm just going to add this to the card that I've almost finished this is just the last bit so I'm just going to pop it in and I'm going to line her up with the bottom of the card and I'm just I want it that same distance so the width of the tab you just butt it right up to that one there and then you can just stick them in and that way you get them equally distanced you know that half inches apart see each one there and there's that one now finished I think it looks really nice I love that one and then this one here so I mean if you want if you know where you're going to have them all then you know you could stick one in here on this side like so and then I can lay in fact we'll do that because I think I did say in the live that I do this one this way just because it might be a bit easier for people so I'm going to have now I do have a sentiment that I also want to stick onto the back of this which is going to be this one here and it's going to be there so you kind of need to like I said play around with your positioning because you want everything to obviously be seen so I can bring it down about there so I'm going to pop some glue onto this one side here so it's a bit of a funny one in terms of measurements and things because everybody's going to have a different image that they use but when you stick it in you want this to butt right up to the score line here and I think I'm going to stick it about there I think that'd be okay for my sentiment yeah that'd be fine so I'm just going to stick that one there so it lines up with that fold there okay then the next one again is going to sit half an inch in front of that one because that's how wide the tab is and I think that's about right there because you can see the the boats really nicely so again grab my glue this one in here and again it's really easy to do because you're just you're using the last one you stuck down as your guide and it keeps everything straight like so so now I've got those two in place okay and then we've just got to pop her in so I'm going to add my glue and you've still got time to trim if you need to I know I'm not going to need to trim her but she is now going to go in fact I'm going to line her up with the very bottom of the card still that half inch apart but the bottom is flush with the bottom of the card there like so I mean you could have these all the same you know length so they all line up with the bottom but you can see there once they all go over each other it really doesn't make any difference because you don't see any of that but I'm really pleased that I think it looks lovely it's a really nice seam and then all you need to do with this side is lie it all down flat if one looks like it's kind of going over into that area it shouldn't but I think I might have just maybe I don't know scored it a little bit wrong but just trim it but you want them to lie down like that so they all sit in front of each other add your glue to each half inch tab so it's just the same way that I make the pop-up box cards and I show that in many of the videos this is how I do it like so bring that over and that half just lie that on top and it because of the measurements and just how we've done it that will all sit perfectly within that section and that way it's a good indication that it's all going to fold flat as well and fit into your envelope so add that there and you can see that it literally falls perfectly in line with that score line there so now I can just bring it all over to the other side as well and now we've got our card isn't that cool I want to be her so now I want to stamp my sentiment so I think I'm actually going to use my stamping platform just so I can get a nice crisp image so this one here it's really nice this one says nothing soothes the soul like a walk on the beach so she's had a walk on the beach and she's now looking down over the beach because I'm going to put this little sign in here which you know indicates the beaches that way kind of thing so kind of sit it down here you're going to put the tabs on the back of it but it does just give me an idea of where I want that to go so just about there I think will be perfect and I'm just going to get that inked up okay I have to go over that side because there was a little hair stuck to the stamp and it got ink on it but I'm going to cover the other side anyway so you won't see it so rather than waste the card I'll just flip it over there we go now I'm just going to open up the sides here and I'm just going to add glue and then you're going to pop this one in make sure it's the right way obviously I've got my sentiment on that side as well we and just make sure it all lines up like so and now we've got that lovely sentiment inside and again just make sure the whole thing folds flat like so and then I've got this one here to get this I just die cut this smaller frame with the larger frame so you just get that inner frame again I'm just going to add my glue very carefully you don't have to do this but I do think it just helps just frame that whole scene like so and then it's just the details so I've got this one here as well okay so those are my finished box scene cards that's what I'm going to call this and I just love them I think they've turned out really really cool and I just like that you can do this with any stamp sets that you have you know have a look at what you've got and just build your scene it's entirely up to you what you do this could just be lots of flowers and leaves and things like that but um I do love these these stamps they work really well with it and I know some of the people that were watching the live had some other creative stamping magazine stamps and they're going to use them in this kind of style card so I look forward to seeing those over on the group so yeah that's it and what I've thought with this is what I'm going to do is cut another piece of the five by five to go on the back and that's where you'll write your message and then I'm going to pop the kite just up in the corner there so you know you can stamp on the back you can obviously do a lot more with it if you want but um yeah and I'll finish it off with some glossy accents like I did there you can see where it catches the light and I think it looks really nice there we go I love that so hope you've enjoyed it if you have please give me a thumbs up and um consider subscribing to my channel and I'll be back very soon with another video bye
