 Hi everybody it's Sam at Mixed Up Crowd, thank you for watching. So today is world card making day so I thought I'd do this little bonus video because I don't tend to upload on a Saturday but I had to mark the occasion and I thought I'd make a really nice fun fold card. So it's a slightly different size than normal, this ends up being a seven by six so I did use the envelope punch board to make the envelope okay. So that's how it will be and then you open it up and you've got best wishes there and I'm calling it a pop out z-fold or a center panel z-fold card because basically I've just popped out the center and that's it. It's really really straightforward yeah it just I think has a really really nice profile so it stands up like this so I have it so that you can I've kind of pull it out a little bit just so you can see the best wishes you can have it completely kind of square on like that and that looks really nice as well because that flower sits perfectly in the center of the card like that but if you kind of just go out like that you get to see the the sentiment you could have a sentiment coming out of here and have lots of more flowers down there you can obviously decorate this entirely how you like you have lots of room on the back I do need to just put my panel there I'm going to do it on this card but I didn't do on this one here so I do need to finish that off oh try not to squash your your little flowers there but yeah it's really really sweet so let me show you how to make this pretty quick card as well okay so for the small flowers I have used the bright rosa flower border dies and then for the main flower in the center I've used this one I've used it on about three or four cards now beautiful the center pop out card has been so popular so many of you make that one and I use that for this and it for that one it looked beautiful you've got all the decoration there and I did say these also could be used for snowflakes if you layer them up and use the smaller ones here and stuff so yeah you can certainly use your dies in other ways so the paper pad I'm using is the winter rose by first edition and the great thing about this is there are I'd say maybe half the papers do have a Christmas image on them but the rest are just a pattern or this floral which I used on that card so you can use them all year round so it's a beautiful paper pad as always they always do the textured card stocks you've got look at the pheasant one I can't wait to use that but then at the back you have all your double sided which are great for your backgrounds so I've already pulled my papers out but that's the one I'm using and then for that best wishes vertical sentiment I've got this one here which is the floral friends and it's just the best wishes there which I've already gone ahead and stamped so I've done all of that off camera because again that's pretty self-explanatory you'll know how to do that so with the dies to get the flower you cut the very large one so the one with this piece here you just cut that off it gives you little markers to follow then I used basically all of those then I cut this this frame here to do the background and then this one here is your detail which you cut with that and then these are all of these pieces here and here and then the circles in the center and you get this big flower and they're the smaller ones from the other ones you just layer them all up so you are going to need to do the maths and layers in a moment because yeah once once we do this bit it's together in minutes really so this is a piece of ten by seven and along the ten inch side you want to score it two and a half five and seven and a half okay then along the seven inch side okay so I'm going to line it up first of all two and a half now I have scored these because if you're cutting if you score first and then cut it actually makes it a bit easier to cut through the thicker card stock because you've squashed the card but all you really want to be doing here is that two and a half start from that score line and just draw a pencil line down to the last score line okay that's at the two and a half marker then I'm going to slide my ruler along to four and a half and again do a pencil mark from that first score line down to the third or score it or put it in your trim out and cut straight away but I like to show it this way because you know it doesn't matter if you don't have a trimmer you can still do it so you can see my two pencil lines there okay right through the middle we're now going to cut down through those so I've just got a metal ruler and my knife I'm just going to line up that there very carefully and then you're just going to cut all the way down again you're just cutting between the first score line and down to the last one so you'll have this score line in the middle there and again I'm going to cut that one there okay so now you should have that there I'm just going to go over and rub out the pencil okay and then what you want to do is this so there's your card it's going to be like this this first score line you want to fold so it's a mountain then you want to start pulling this piece out which will form this to fold like that and this will all go in like this so you're now you've got valleys here but this is a mountain because you're pulling it out the last score line you're not actually going to do anything with you're just going to leave it and then just fold it right across and just re-burnish all your score lines and there you have that as that center z-fold pop-out piece okay and then that will obviously be going on here right in the middle and you can see straight where how it comes together so now you just want to start doing your mats and your layers so I've got these three because I'm going to have one there one there and then one on the back and then that one I'm going to have where I write something so I'll be able to stamp something on there at a later date so those are going to stick there I'm not putting anything on there because this is going to cover it okay if you don't have something big like this and you just want to cover um you know like so you might put a nice little sentiment here or something this piece here for the the green so so the mat so that's two and a quarter by one and three quarters and then the pattern paper is two by one and a half you would need two pieces of them I'm only going to have the one because that's going to go there and then this one's going to go on this side piece here okay that's those and then you want four pieces because these are going to go here one two three four and these are all one and three quarters of oh no sorry so the green is two and a quarter squared and then the pattern paper is two inches squared that's right because these are two and a half inch squared squares so you can see where they all stick there so I'm going to go get all those mats and layers that stuck down okay next I want to stick this down now that's the reason why my envelope is bigger because this overhangs because whatever you have central here is going to overhang so if you do just want to keep this within a five by seven envelope then you just want to stay within that section there and I mean I could have that like this but then you see that side there and then it opens up like that okay so if you would prefer to have it that way you can do so what I would do is do a mat and your layer on there just so you don't have that kind of white bit but you can certainly have that just in the center but I do like to have it like that I just think it looks a little bit different so I'm going to have that stuck there now I'm going to use some foam just because I don't know I quite like to lift it up a bit more so I'm putting the foam actually on here and then once that sticks down so I'm lining up my points of this within this section here so I'm going to have it about there I want to make sure I also come in within that one two three four five six yeah that's fine so stick that down and then just just secure this in I'm just going to pop a couple on the back of this that way it just stops that bit bending so we scored all the way down so now that just stays within that right angle it can't go anywhere else then I've got these little flowers here that's all come out everywhere so I'm going to pop one about there and then I've got my best wishes and the way I've done this is that when this closes down I had it so that it kind of again sat perfectly you know with that there underneath so it should just line up anyway because I've lined everything else up okay so this should sit in the center there um I don't I'm not going to give the measurements for this because not everybody's going to have this at all you can see there I've just stamped it and then cut really close to it and then just done a little frame with the gold mirrored cardstock so let's just pop that down over there yeah perfect like so and then I've got a couple more little embellishments that I'm going to just pop along here add a little bit of more sparkle and there you have it I think it looks really nice it's just such a quick cut I know I don't obviously a lot of that off the the camera but it really honestly didn't take any time at all just those mats and layers are so quick and even the flower doesn't take long to die cut at all so they have it so happy world card making day I hope you manage to find some time today to make some cards or even just this weekend to get in your craft room or your craft space and just create something really nice so I hope this has inspired you please give me a thumbs up if you've enjoyed today and subscribe to my channel so you get to see more thanks for
