 Hi everybody it's Sam at Mixed Up Craft thank you for watching my tutorial today I've got this really cute little kind of note card envelope holder I thought it would be really nice for any craft fairs that you might have and they also make nice little gifts as well so I'm using the paper boutique papers I'll show you all that in a moment but I love that image it's my favorite one I've got this lovely big ribbon here I've used some mirrored cardstock to create these faux metal kind of edges I guess but you just open it up undo this bow and I've done this all from one piece of card so I quite like the way this all comes together so you open it up and you can obviously put some more stuff on here if you want but then you have this little kind of pocket and inside there are I've probably put maybe one maybe even two too many but I have used foam you can see the foam on there just to give them dimension but if I pull them out you can see there just how it's made so it's all from one piece of card stock and it is very straightforward to make but look you have all these really cute plain note cards using the toppers that come with these little card kits so I love them and these are the matching envelopes they're so cute and I just think how nice though if you just want to send a little send any friend mail I've just left them blank because then you can just write across the whole thing which is what you know I would use them for but these ones I'm going to be sending out to some friends anyway and then you just sit in your envelopes all in there like I said this is holding one two three yes six and it holds them perfectly but I would say maybe don't use the foam I guess but it does work all it does is it's just got a slight little bulge just very very slight just there but hey I like that kind of look to my craft sometimes I don't know just it feels nice so yeah that's what we're going to make really easy so I hope you enjoy it okay so that was the template that's what I first created and that's what I've worked off so you can see kind of how it looks this will all fold up and fold in to form the pocket and then that's the closure so I made a few adjustments to it I've got this lovely ribbon which I've had for ages which works really well now I've gone and done all of the cards and all but one envelope because the cards are very very easy I will tell you the measurements but you're just sticking a topper on the top so there isn't really much for me to tell you there I've got all these little bits which were talked through through the course of the video so there's my five envelopes for each envelope you need a piece of six by six so these paper packs are eight by eight so I just had to cut a little bit off each side but if you've got any six by six paper packs then that's perfect you can just use those straight away so I've gone and created the topper for the very front and this is my little bit of shimmer cardstock there that's what I'm using for the actual base and then the supplies I've used for the little behind all of these is a little doily and it's these ones here these are the nature's grace ones so I've had I think I'm on my second pack of these now and I picked the second lot up from every cross of pound I think it was but I will share links because I'm sure there's quite a few sellers that have that one and this is the beautiful paper so it's the magical forest by the paper boutique 36 sheets of six designs and these are the topper sheets are like this but I've nearly I've popped them all out but that's how they come so you get the square and the circle and you just pop out and you get all these lovely images and they're just gorgeous and their their range is brilliant so I know so many of you've been sharing your recent purchases from the paper boutique and I'll link everything below because like I said they do some absolutely gorgeous pictures and scenes and everything and they do so much within the paper range so for one of these cards you want a piece that is seven okay by three and a half so they're three and a half by three and a half note cards and then along that seven inch side you just want to score it three and a half fold it in half I've done them as top folding and there is your note card and then the toppers are already that's the size they are and it just so much well just it just so well happened that the doily just gave it that perfect little frame so yeah there are my six okay that's the cardstock I've used for this one it's the centura pearl I picked this up from the works they are currently as of this video which is I don't know the day anyway I think they'll still be there I'll link them below if they are but it's they're 249 a pack and this is the pacific beautiful shimmer to it so yeah you can probably see it a bit better there it's lovely okay so with this piece here this is a piece of nine and three eighths of an inch by six and a quarter and along the longer side first of all you want to score at one quarter of an inch okay then at one inch then at four and three quarters then at five and a half miss this one I've done for the minute go then to five and three quarters okay we'll do that one in a minute then rotate and you're going to score at one and three quarters pass the first score line second score line third and fourth and you're going to score down so that last one which should be your fifth score line okay then you're going to score at two and a half all the way down okay then go back again and you want to score at five and five eighths of an inch down to that first score line which would have been that long one that you just done okay so hopefully that makes sense just yeah slow the video down and just do it step by step if you need to but I will go through it one more time actually so one quarter of an inch along the long side one inch okay I'll talk it I don't want to go over again then four and three quarters then five and a half then miss one and do five and three quarters then onto the small side and again do one and three quarters down to the last score line here which should be the fifth score line one two three four five then at two and a half all the way down then rotate back again and score at five and five eighths of an inch down to that first score line the reason I've got those three together is that's going to be where the lid kind of closes around and it just gives you a bit more of a nicer finish okay so that's all of that done you don't need any more scoring so I'm going to put all this away okay so first of all you just want to fold and burnish all of these score lines you should be able to do that on every score line apart from the one where you only scored it partially because obviously you don't want to score that all the way through so I'm just going to do that okay so the only score lines I haven't been able to burnish is along the long side you would have had that last one you done just down to there and then also that one where you just scored down to the fifth score line you won't be able to burnish that because they're actually going to be our cut lines okay so I want to make sure I get this all explained as clear as possible so where you've got those three score lines together here you'll have this score line to here okay and you'll have this quarter inch piece here turn that side you just want to cut right up to that one and you want to remove the score line I'm just going to come up a little bit higher on that one okay and then cut all the way up that one there just to join up okay once you've made these before then you can cut it maybe slightly differently but I just at first I just want to make sure it makes sense I'm just going to remove that little bit of there okay so just stick with that for the minute then you want to come to this side and you'll have this quarter inch kind of tab all the way along here okay and we want to remove I'm going to use my snips you want to cut along this score line here so you'll have this quarter inch piece here and you'll have that square and that little piece there and then these pieces you're going to cut right along there and along that one okay on this little one you want to take out that little piece okay but do not take it out on this one because that's actually where we're going to add our glue to stick in that piece but this here you want to just take a few wedges off of it's going to act just like a little tab really a little support with inside then this whole section here you can remove completely so again try and remove the score line because this is all going to form the well this will form the back of your actual little kind of holder your case we'll come back here again that's now what you should have so you'll have this little quarter inch this piece the tab and that will all be straight if I bring it around you can start to see because this will fold up inside so now we've cut that out you should be able to burnish that other score line okay now we need to kind of detach all of this side here so come back so it's that way and cut all the way down both of these just like we did with the opposite side but I just wanted to do this one after so that it made sense what you want to achieve so you need to make this these two just like this so with that little one again you just want to take out that section and then again just tidy this up and take some little wedges off of it okay now you should be able to burnish that other score line in there and it's just creating a nice kind of curved kind of front kind of hinge so now this will come up these will go in like that this is all going to come up and be stuck onto this one here and then that will wrap and close around and you have that little case so I hope I broke that down enough for you to understand all of the scoring and where to cut okay so next we want to stick it down so I'm going to grab my red tape and I'm going to run a strip on each of these little quarter inch sides here so one on this one and one along this one here and what you want to do at the same time is you want to add a little bit of glue onto this tab do one at a time so I'm working on the one that's you know on it's close to this side you're going to bring that over even though you've taken the release paper off and just stick it in place make sure you get a nice right angle okay so can you see what I don't just stuck it inside there so just make sure you keep everything nice and straight okay and then bring in that one there and you want to stick it in line with that score line on the back okay so you can see where I just lined it up and you can just go in there with your finger oh maybe it would be better actually with my bone folder okay so you just make sure the glues are stuck down and that's what you'll get so again with this side here I'm going to fold this one up I've already taken the backing off just a little bit of glue just to tack it in place this one's a tiny bit more fiddly because you need to kind of hook that in the back like so make sure you push it down you want to get it right up so you get a nice right angle okay again pop it on its side stick that down and then if you pop it completely on its side you're going to stick that glue onto the other side there so that's how it should look inside you can see where your tab is and where those two quarter inch ones are stuck to the back of this but that's now it and because we've done that curved piece there it fits over there nicely and this is when you want to see if you've got like any kind of score lines I can see I've got a little bit of a score line showing there again you probably can't really notice it but you know they are there if you do want to tidy it up a little bit but that is your little case and yeah I really like it so now you want to decorate it so I'd already got my piece to decorate the front here for some reason I thought I'd made that slightly smaller let me just check yeah I did have a frame for that one so I don't know why yeah let me just cut that down a little bit okay you want it to be I want to just just over three and a half by three and a half um I mean that's me being picky let me just check yeah that's better let's just get that really nice subtle little border okay so that's that piece there so I'm just going to stick that on the front okay so that's that one stuck down and then my topper I used a circle from one of my stitched dies and it was three and a half diameter put some foam adhesive on the back and I'm going to stick that over this foam adhesive is very sticky it's just what I pick up from Poundland in the UK but it is so sticky actually is almost too sticky it sticks to your nails and stuff so it is a bit irritating but it's perfect for sticking onto glittered cardstock or you can use the red tape but I wanted dimension so yeah once this stuff sticks it doesn't come off so make sure you got it up the right way and just ah before you stick it down I almost done it and I nearly done it last time you want to add your ribbon so I've got this pretty ribbon here it's up to you how much you want depends on how big you want your bow but I'm going to add some of this red tape here just going to pop a little bit in the middle just to kind of grip the ribbon but I don't actually stick it all the way around I only stick it on this front piece so just make sure that's nice and secure take the backing off and then just lie that ribbon down over there and then add my topper again the ribbon is optional but it does obviously keep everything together just gonna hold this up here like so okay and then I will trim that down in a minute next you want to decorate inside so I have got this piece here which is the same size as the front but again I think I must have not been concentrating because I seem to have cut them a little bit odd so let me just get this one here so this is yeah it's the same size just over three and a half really so let me just check what I did do here yeah it's a little bit longer let's just come in and trim that one now so that one is going to go in there I'm going to keep this out because I might got the others wrong and then this one here no that one's fine this one measures just over one and a half by three and five eighths okay but it should be just over really the reason why it's just slightly over is because the size the way that we've done these extra score lines here and stuff so a lot of you know what you're doing anyway this little piece here is the same height here so this one here so just over three and a by five eighths of an inch and that one is going to go in there and then these little silver pieces are half an inch and I've just done them at one and a half for the minute but you will trim them down and they're to go on the ends of the ribbon so it's completely optional but I'm going to go and stick all of this down okay so that's that all stuck down then I'm going to bring in my envelopes bar one so I'm going to give you the measurements for that in a minute so they were the six by six in size that you need they will fit in there just perfectly and then I've got my six beautiful little note cards there and they look so sweet and then for the other one using the envelope punch board with your pieces six by six you're following the three and a half by three and a half card size so it's telling you there you need your six by six piece and your first score line is at three inches so line this up with your three punch and score I like to fit mine right to the opposite side and do the same and then I use this as my guide and you're just going to move this along until it lines up with this line here punch and score and again bring this along until it lines up with this line punch and score you want to do that six times or you may want to do five probably five would be fine actually with the foam on them so it's entirely up to you have a play around so just fold and burnish your four corners and then if you're using directional paper obviously make sure that you have it up the right way and the bottom two side pieces you just want to add some double-sided tape okay and then take the backing off of one and stick that one down and then take the backing off the other and stick that one now you can add double-sided tape here if you're maybe going to be selling these at car fairs but I would say if you're just keeping them for yourself then I don't bother I've got nice little stickers that I add on here and you've some I know lots of people got friend mail stickers and things like that so it's entirely up to you but now I'm just going to add that one to the others okay so that's that already then I'm going to wrap this around and tie a nice bow okay and then you just want to trim if you're doing what I'm going to do now with those little silver pieces of card then you just want to cut because this is these are terrible scissors I just found them and now I know why I need to sharpen them um if you're going to add the silver this is this car um this ribbon here is yeah just slightly just over one inch so that was one and a half width along the half inch side I scored a quarter of an inch and I've just put some red tape on each half and they're just going to fold over so the reason I've gone slightly larger because it's easier to make it bigger and then if you stick your ribbon over half so just stick it up to the scoreline and then just fold that back over and then using your scissors your snips you can just go in and very carefully cut and that way you get them just perfectly lined up and I've done this before on a couple of gift bags I've shared tutorials but it's such a nice detail without having to buy any metal pieces and you can have them any color you want any mirrored card stock or glitter card stock you can use and it looks really really good it's really effective so again take off this here so it's a kind of cheaper way to add pretend metal effects to your projects you don't have to go out and spend loads of money so again I'm just going to cut this one off okay so there you have it too I think really very cute little gifts you could you know these are perfect to add with other things as little Christmas gifts stocking fillers also great for craft fairs and just nice keep for yourself and just send little note cards to your friends or like I said send the whole thing as some friend mail because it's it's a little bit addictive to make I have thoroughly enjoyed making these I just think they look so cute and I love that little fake metal detail so I hope you've enjoyed these as much as I have if you have please give me a thumbs up and subscribe to my channel so you get to see more. Thanks for watching, bye!
