 Hi everybody it's Sam at Mixed Up Craft, thank you for watching my tutorial today. I'm going to be showing you how to make these, well it depends what the object is that's flying but they are a flying card so this one is the ghost so if I just move it there. I think they're so cute and then this is another one here now I'm not going to do a Halloween card for today's tutorial because it's not what everybody does, not a lot of people, well certainly in the UK we don't really send Halloween cards, these are going to be used and they will be sent to some friends because I know they will appreciate them but they're really really fun to do. So what I thought I'd do for today's card is to do a happy birthday card but I'll quickly just show you this one here some of you may recognize it was from this stamp set here which is for the Lover Stamps and it's the No Place Like Home but when I got this it was only 99p on their website this was probably about six weeks ago now but it just screamed Halloween haunted house to me and that's how it looks and I just thought it looked really good so I embossed it, he embossed it with some black embossing powder there you go and just coloured the windows all in yellow. I've blended both the backgrounds the same and that's using the in the centre it's fossilised amber or yeah it is amber I thought it was amber then but it's amber peacock feathers is the next one out then wilted violet and then finished with chipped sapphire on the outer edges here and I've done the same with that one now this one is using the Lawn Fawn it's the House Die but I've got the add-on here which is the Builder House Halloween add-on so I mean you know you don't have to have any of this and depending on what colours you die cut it in it can be a new home card it can be a Christmas house all kinds of things and I've also used these little bits here you've got the Boo and the bats which I've used there and there they're just bringing up a bit close I've put some Winker Stella on there I just love this detail you've got the little door that opens with the little ghost and then there and I just think I just think it's so fun I use my bright rose a happy and then I just stamped Halloween and the you are spooktacular is that one there just at the bottom really really sweet so if you are into Halloween you like to make fun cards and this is certainly a fun one to try they move around you can just obviously you know change them up however you want he really spins he seems to have a I think as I gave him more room there you can see it's really fun so anyway let's crack on and make it so like I said I'm going to do today's using flowers now I've been wanting to use my fun foam fun foam my flower foam for a while since I got these dice here so these are the John next door dies and I really wanted to recreate it's not that look there wasn't those ones actually start these ones here so I wanted to do this one here so it's using the ivy and it's using this one here so I've used both those plates I've already gone ahead and done everything once you see all if you would like me to do a separate tutorial on the flower foam and how to create I guess realistic looking flowers then just pop it in the comments and I will check those out but I've used here is the flower foam so I've got the crafters companion in the green and white I've used the white today but there's also this one here flower foam is 0.8 mil so it's very very thin fun foam is 2 mil so just gives you an idea there flower foam you can manipulate you can twist you can add heat to it to shape it there's lots of lovely techniques you can do so I've already gone ahead and I've created these flowers here if I bring them up still got some bits there but can you see you've just got all this dimension I've inked them these were the from the white flower foam and then inside there you've got all of that but you can I don't want to really do too much more with this but you can just just put little bits you know markings and stuff on them and like twist them and once you you know ink them up more can you see just how much shape you get to them so I've gone ahead and done three of those already and then I've die cut four of the ivy leaves then I've just distressed them using it was actually using the peacock feathers was it peacock feathers yeah I think it was on some like bluey green I just thought that worked well together I've die cut a butterfly already and I'm working on a five by seven card but once you see how you do this you can do this on any size card you want so all you really need so very very straightforward but I thought it'd be better to do on something that people can see themselves doing and using all year round rather than just on Halloween card so I've got my five by seven card which I've got some ink on there but that's going to be covered and this piece is four and three quarters by six and three quarters and that's to go on top you do want something that's like a bit more of a card so if it is a paper I would double it so stick them together because this is going to have the pressure of the magnet kind of sliding on it so you don't want something too soft I may well even add another piece onto the back of this just to make sure it is nice and strong this is from this one here if anybody's wondering I thought it actually worked really well with these can see the flowers just complement this paper pad wonderfully so it's the flowers blooming it was three pound from the works again if I find the links I will share those so let me just move this out the way I'm just going to cut that again I'm just going to just line up against this one actually I'm just going to stick these two together okay so that's my card already I've got that there so I'm just going to start decorating the front so I want to have like a cluster of flowers down the bottom probably do something like that and then I'm going to feed in these kind of all behind it I have a I have this happy birthday sentiment which I can add on at the very end but what you want to do is decide what it is you want flying and where you want it to be able to move this is quite a big butterfly I was thinking maybe to go for a smaller one so I still might play around with that and also you need a couple of magnets mine are the 20 mil rare earth I believe there's this 15 mil these ones again I will link those but they're nice and strong and they work really well for this but you want to make sure you've got an area where you can move so this butterfly can move around here I think that's going to be fine I think that one I don't know I think you might look a little bit lost so I'm going to go for the big one but again play around so I'm just going to get these stuck down and just kind of lay in you know nestling even the the leaves there bring this down a little bit further I want them quite close together so this is going to have a bit of dimension so this will fit perfectly in my 5x7 envelope box so again I'll link that for you as well okay so I've done the front that's all stuck down now then you want to add foam to the back now thinking about it maybe it might be worth doing this bit before you do your decoration it's up to you I mean you might squash it a little bit but what you're going to do is I do double layers I've already done a couple there and I haven't gone quite to the edge it doesn't matter if you do I don't know really why I've done that but anyway but you want to run it along here and then I'm going to peel that off and then do it again yeah it might be better doing this first actually I think because the ones I done before the Halloween ones they didn't really have anything too kind of dimensional because everything was quite flat on the front whereas because I've got flowers on this they're squashing a bit but I can easily reshape them okay so I don't want to peel that off yet but now so I've got two layers of foam here now the reason I do two is because it allows this piece here which I'll talk you through in a minute to move more freely it's got a nice kind of area plus you we've got the width of our magnet as well so it just yeah just makes it easier but what we want to do now is we want to come down but we want to leave a gap on this side now my butterfly is going to be flying all around this top section okay so I want to be able to move that lever you can kind of see where you want to move it so I can come up here a little bit more I reckon there everybody's is going to vary so just look at you how you do it you might not want to put any foam along the side I would advise you put a little bit just so it doesn't dip but you may find that you want a lot of this to stay open and I'm going to do just a little bit at the top here I'm also going to pop some here because I don't want it to sink so I'm not going to pop it in the center of here because obviously this this needs to move freely along the top but this bottom bit nothing is actually going to go in there so because there's the weight of the flowers again you want to do two layers because you want it to stay level with everything else so okay so now that will go on here and you will be able to see the side like that and that is where this is going to sit in and move around whatever it is that you put on front on the front now mine's sticking out maybe more than I would like but I can trim that this here measures oh it's about four and three quarters but take into account I put that foam in there now you only want it to overhang by about maybe a quarter of an inch so maybe there so you actually want this to be four and a quarter okay yeah four and a quarter by three quarters of an inch and again I've doubled this up and there's two pieces of cardstock there which are three into GSM okay so that's become nice and strong I've used my Kalau glue so that's like a strengthener it's kind of stiffens inside so that's now nice and strong okay next you can stick all this down because you can pop this all in once it's all you know again stuck down so I'm going to remove the backings and then you just want to very carefully stick this down make sure you've got it nice and even okay now I'm going to add my magnets so I've got these glue dots here so I'm going to pop one on the back the butterfly pretty much covers the magnet and because the magnets silver and the butterflies silver it's okay so I'm going to pop that on the back so just make sure whatever you're using you know we'll hide the magnet okay like so so that's going to sit on there then with this one you want to make sure that you've got it as a pair so put them together all right and then put the glue dot on the back and then that way you know that they are going to want to stick together and then just stick it on to the very end of this come apart okay pop the butterfly on there anywhere slide that under and it will grab it there we go just give it a helping hand but now look got a moving butterfly I don't know if he's too big or not what do we think I really like them I think they're really fun cards now do you need to trim that down so I'm going to just roughly do so and then I've got a pen that matches here I don't have a stamp that says pull there is a stamp set out there that says pull push twist flip all kinds of things and I keep meaning to get it but I keep forgetting but I'm just going to very my neatest writing neatest capital writing just write the word pull on the side there and then I've got my happy birthday and I think I'm going to pop that probably just there there we go now I'm going to just fiddle around with this because I just feel it needs a little bit more just needs a little bit more something so I'm going to add a few bits that a little bit of glitter okay so there's the finished card it's really pretty I do love this a lot I've popped some little rhinestones right in the centers there you just see them I've just gone and shaped them all again just yeah because they did get a little bit flattened I've also popped that smaller butterfly there got the happy birthday got my little lever and I think it's really really fun possibly the butterfly is a bit big but you could have anything flying here this could be a card for you know a little boy it might be a rocket or something flying through the air you could have a bird dragonflies there's all kinds of things a plane loads but I just wanted to show you how you can do it this way with you know very simple supplies or if you do have things like this then you can create more detailed cards like this do your backgrounds I loved stamping and creating this background and you know I think it works really well for a ghost because they just I don't know he just seems to fly really quite well I like that one a lot he's really sweet as well and then this one like I said he just seems to go a little bit loopy I think because I'm able to do that kind of circular it looks quite good so again have a little play around decide what's going to work for you but they do need room to move so yeah possibly the butterfly's gone a bit big but I just think it's just a nice little interactive card I love it I really do so I hope you enjoy it too please give me a thumbs up if you've enjoyed today let me know if you'd like me to do a separate tutorial on the flower foam because there's a few other things that I want to play around with that applying the heat and things like that as well so yeah let me know but yeah I hope you've enjoyed it please give me a thumbs up if you have and subscribe to my channel so you get to see more thanks for watching bye
