 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 this screen card. I have made a screen card before but this one's slightly different in the sense that all the pieces are separate and they're attached by just a small piece of card as opposed to one big piece and you just kind of score down through the middle. So I've made a little kind of envelope box for this. So I would say this is quite a special card maybe something for, it's almost like a bit of a mini album actually so you can definitely add photos to this because you've got both sides but it's also a great one for those big birthdays I think because you can add big numbers on it and all sorts. So this is how it looks, this is the back here so that's where you I would say you would write your little message because once it's open you'll kind of understand. I've got a pretty piece of lace here to tie it all together with my bow and then it basically opens up like this. It's a bit of a I guess a flip book but then the idea is is that the whole thing stands up like this so it's a screen. So you can have it like that you can have it with the, get rid of that, get rid of it, put the ribbon at the back there but you can have the screen it's probably better like that actually and that's what you would see. So I've used the beautiful paper boutique papers for this one and I'll show you those in a moment but you've like I said you know you don't have obviously I know quite a few of you do have this paper pack but if you didn't can you imagine all of these as different photos you could have maybe double photos you could have ones at the bottom here as well and then you have these three sections because this is your front cover so you could have lovely you know you could even write a nice little letter on the back there's so many ways to use this and you can add more onto it as well. I've just done the four panels but you can certainly add a lot more to it so yeah it's kind of in between a mini album and a card. I just sometimes I just sit down and just play around with things so I this wasn't really an intended make as such it's just something that's kind of evolved so it all ties up nicely there with your ribbon it's a nice kind of chunky piece as well which I like and then it fits into this little kind of gift box that I've made I'm going to probably change the way that I put the box together a little bit I think I'm going to do some ribbon coming right the way up through the middle rather than that piece there but I do still really like it so let me show you how to make it. So this is the papers it's the paper boutique and it's the magical forest and it is pretty much finished with now I have very very little left all of that is just the kind of carcass from all the toppers and then that's just all scraps I only have about four pieces of paper left one two three four and that's my front and back so I have you literally used 32 of the sheets so I think I've done well with that one and I still have these little sentiments here which I'll probably cut down and just pop in my little box and then this is everything here I'm going to do the box at the very end and give the measurements to them separate this is just for the screen card itself the paper I'm using today is the centura pearl and this is the lavender color and this is what I picked up from the works I think it was they seem to have the best price I think it was 249 but again I'll link below any other ones that I might find as well okay so this is a bigger card my screen pieces are four by eight and a quarter now you can certainly do this smaller you could do it so that they are three by six because the reason mine's so big is I centered it around these topper sizes so the width of them I needed something that was wide and then just in terms of proportion I just kind of doubled it which is what I've got four by eight and a quarter and the eight and a quarter is your default width of a four paper well here for us in the UK that's our width I think a lot of others will have eight and a half you just need to cut it down but yeah so this is four by eight and a quarter and you want four pieces that's that lovely lavender color then these are all the mats and layers so for the back I am sticking it directly on because on the back of this card it's white it's only coated on the front so I don't need to have a white frame whereas on the front panels I have a matte and a layer because I wanted that white frame so for the back pieces as if you've got a card like me and you want to do it that way these are three and three quarters by eight and you want four pieces so then my back panels then for the front panels you will want four pieces that are the same size as those ones so three and three quarters by eight in white card stop and then the pattern is dropped down again so this will be three and a half by seven and three quarters and again you'll want four pieces okay so what will happen is those four will go on to the back these are all going to stick on the top of each one of these so it's hard to pick up in the camera but that beautiful lavender color pulls out the lavender in the flowers really nicely so it does tie together well so what you want to do is before you stick all of those mats and layers down we'll cut them to one side you will need your hinges to put the whole thing together so here I've got four pieces that are one and a half by four and along the one and a half inch side you want to score so I've already done mine so flip it the right way and turn it around so along the one and a half inch side you want to score it half an inch five eighths of an inch three quarters of an inch seven eighths of an inch and one inch so you'll have half an inch and half an inch on each side and then that middle half an inch will have a score line on every track okay so if I just bring that up and you can see there what I've done and that just gives you that nice effect so that it curves rather than just kind of folds with a bit of a you know an angle a point to it I just think it's much nicer to have that kind of arch so when you've done those four and those I've already done you just basically just want to burnish all of them and once you do that it will just naturally curve so I'm just going to do that one quickly okay so I've got my four largest pieces and these four ones and you want them so that they are this way up okay so it's a bit like a boat you want them rocking all right and you're going to stick every one you're going to stick on to the tops of these and then this will go over that so it conceals it inside just keeping everything nice and neat now it's entirely up to you where you have it I guess you can have them slightly higher or lower but I'm doing mine bang in the middle so again I'm using my grid here and I know it's eight and a quarter okay this whole piece so I want to come down four and one eighth of an inch so one two three four and then just over a bit that's the center so I want to sit this over there and make sure that it's obviously lines up now it's four inches long so it sits perfectly within these ones but if I just bring it down a little bit then I know that it's bang on but do I need to be that fussy probably not I'm just going to use the four inches here so these four squares and just make sure that that sits within them which it does and that's going to be my guide and then you're going to put glue do I want to use glue or do I want to yeah I'm going to use my tacky glue and I'm just going to add it onto that half okay and again use that as a guide and you're just going to stick the whole half inch piece on so that all of those little score lines in the middle are all exposed so we're going to stick this half inch piece on this one so you can see I've just stuck it right up to that first score line and then we'll add glue onto this half and you will stick it onto this one so again if you line this one up and just keep them nice and straight and then as long as you just make sure they stay the same there you can just pull this one over once you've got your glue on it and stick it down you basically will then want to stick it to so that this side here is in line with that last score line so again I'm just going to add some of the glue right and then just stick that one down so now when I turn it over you'll have that nice hinge exposed so now I'm going to move it along again keep this all nice and lined up bring along the next one the next hinge and do exactly the same thing again so okay so that's the last one I don't know why I said you need four you need three I think the reason was is I'd already prepped three so I kept one to show you how to do it so yeah you do only need three of those okay so now it will all fold up like so so next we're going to decorate all of the inside we'll do the outside afterwards so I have these ones I'd already stuck the layer the pattern layer on top but they're now going to go over and it just kind of conceals all of that because okay so now I'm just going to add some glue and stick these all down okay then I have my lovely gorgeous little animals here just think these are absolutely adorable um I'm maybe going to have that one there actually and then that one there I'm going to put foam adhesive on these because you do have the you know the option to have quite a bit of bulk inside because of this half inch side here so yeah you can do that now I've already gone ahead and that's my front decoration and then I have what I think I'm going to do differently with this one if I bring in this one here I had both of my sentiments in the middle but I think I might do sentiment plain sentiment plain so I'm just going to flip these two I think so I have fussy cut this here and I've got this one here but I didn't cut the edge off because I needed to check the size so I can check that off in a moment but I think I'm going to do yeah same with that one I need to trim it slightly but have that there on foam adhesive that will be on foam adhesive this one will be off foam and then I'm going to stamp some nice sentiments to go there and there and then I've got these bows and bits and pieces as well so I'm going to get this cut down and this all stuck down okay so I've decided I'm actually going to leave these blank because I'm going to give this to someone this is going to go in my my little kind of competition my giveaway pile and then that person can add you know whatever it is they want to do with them because they may want to keep this as a little like I said kind of album you can put photos there or something so next you want to decorate the back and you also want to add your ribbon okay so one of them it's going to go on the last panel this is where it with it flipped over because it's actually the first panel so if I go back this way that's your first panel second third fourth when you flip it over it becomes your last panel okay so this one is going to go here you're going to stick it in the middle of this outer piece and then this next one is going to go on the second one but on the left hand side sorry it's caught my glue gun so it's just got glue strings on it there we go like this and then I'm going to stick my pattern paper over the top like this and see that one will be there that one like so and that one like that and then I've got this really pretty owl which I'm going to still finish off on the bottom of that one there but again I'm going to leave the front blank because it can be used like I said again as a mini album or something so I'm going to stick these two down first and that one then I'm just going to add some glue just there that over the top if you want to add another mat onto this and add foam adhesive and stuff you can do but then I'm going to just again add my glue stick that over that and again the final one stick that one down there so and then this one I'm going to put some foam on the back just because everything else is flat and just look at my photos that I you know will pop in my blog for just a bit of inspiration again on how to decorate it now I'm going to show you how to make the box next of course you don't have to if you are making this for yourself and going down more of that mini album route then you know you don't necessarily need to have a box but now when you bring that around and fold those in bring that one over it will join up with these two sides here and I just think it looks so pretty I've probably got too much ribbon let's see what kind of bow that gives me yeah I'll take a little bit off like so isn't that lovely and then that's where on the back of this one again I bring this all around the back is where I put that message if you do want to do it it's like a gift album or you know just a nice birthday card then that's where I would say write your your message but yeah now let's pop this all to one side and make the little gift box envelope for it all okay so to make the box you want two pieces of cardstock that are five and five eighths of an inch by nine and a half okay and along the uh shorter sides the five and five eighths you want to score at three quarters of an inch and five and three eighths of an inch okay she should just have this little quarter of an inch piece here then rotate it so the three quarters of an inch pieces at the top and you want to again score it three quarters of an inch all the way down do that on both pieces and then we'll have these two here once we cut them and then just to decorate I've got a piece of that same lavender cardstock which is well mine's actually between four and one eighth of an inch and four and a quarter either so if I I would say four and a quarter will be fine I cut mine on my trimmer so I didn't actually really measure it I just used my pencil and it's by eight and a quarter and then the pattern paper on top I would then do four by eight okay then I have my last one left this is the last topper of that lovely paper pack and it's my favorite little fox so I've just he's they're pretty die cut you just pop them out and then I've just used one of my stitch circles there just to make my little fastening I am going to do it actually the same way that I've done the other box I tried putting the ribbon around I didn't really like it and then just to connect that little topper you want a piece that's one and a half by three along the three inch side you want to score every single marker so one eighth of an inch quarter of an inch three eighths half an inch five eighths three quarters seven eighths and an inch and do that all the way along so that you have that you're doing the same as what you did for the little screen card though it's kind of like a folio as well so I'm not sure what I'm going to call this yet but now if I just kind of roll it it kind of burnishes fold and burnish sorry it kind of just folds them for you just do the very end ones there but the whole thing will just kind of roll without actually folding you just get a much nicer little finish like so okay I just want to do a little bit of cutting so you will have your scoreline here your three quarters scoreline and your quarter inch scoreline and then your three quarters scoreline at the bottom along the bottom here you just want to cut up that first one where the square is and then just take a wedge off in fact probably fold and burnish before you do that just because it's a bit easier you can do it after it's not the end of the road but I do tend to do it before and then this little tiny little rectangle you'll have there just remove that completely and then just cut little wedges off of the ends there just so you don't see any of them okay so you want to do that on both pieces and then we're just going to stick them both together so this one will stick with that one so this is that quarter of an inch piece so I'm just going to grab some of my red tape here I'm just going to run that all the way along there and again on that one there take the backing off of this one first and you just want to lay that over the top I'd focus on the bottom scoreline here because you can always trim the top and then I'm going to just bring that all the way up like so and then flip it over like that so you have this piece take the backing off and then fold that one over and it should all line up like so okay and then you can decide which you want to be your front or your back and then the bottom here you'll be folding one of the long ones two side ones and then the other one so if this is my front I'll fold down the front one last just so you get that nice kind of finish there so I'm just going to grab a little bit of my wet glue here for the base and just pop a little bit on the edges there and that one there take that last one down and then if you just go in the top with a ruler or got a paintbrush here at hand just so you can really make sure that that is all stuck okay and then we just need to decorate it so I'm going to stick that one on the front and then this one we can stick down last because that's just going to stick onto the back piece okay and then with this one I'm going to pop some glue about half an inch covering the bottom there because you've got the little score lines it's easy for you to see and then you just want to stick it behind this so whatever you've got make sure it's obviously facing up right I'm just going to stick that down there and then I've just got some velcro dots these are the 16 mil no these are less actually tell a complete light these are 10 mil so I've got 10 16 and 20 and then I'm going to kind of roughly wrap that around you want to make sure it does stick to the back there but I'm going to just sit that about that looks about right stick that right down yep that's all stuck and then don't lift it off yet stick this back piece down so again I'm going to cover about half an inch and then just stick that over keeping it all nice and straight I'm just holding it there for a second and if you want to cover the back as well you can do I don't really feel there's a need to do it I just want to add I'm going to add that little bow at the top there and a little bead onto the back a few people have been asking how I'm getting on with the glue gun I love it this doesn't drip or anything and just to the left I have a little holster for it as well which comes with it and it's the Sizzix one so yeah I'm definitely glad I chose that one I'm just going to sit that there and it's got that precision nozzle as well I really like it I'll take a picture and put it in the the blog so you can see it and there you have it so now you can take that off just make sure that that is all nice and stuck down which it is yeah I do prefer this I don't know I thought at first I thought oh I'll have the ribbon wrapping right around with a big bow but maybe my ribbon this didn't maybe it looked a bit lost I guess if you've got a nice big thick say like one inch ribbon all the way around that could look good but there you have it so now that will fit perfectly inside even with the lace on there as well just tuck that in a little bit and then just seal it up I think that's a really cute either keepsake for yourself like I said it can work great as a mini album a little folio thing you could you could add little note papers into it if you wanted to but I think it does make a really special card as well and then again this one here which is using the mirrored card so again I always like to do maybe two different styles because I know there's a lot of people out there that don't really like to use the mirrored card so that just shows you how you can make it with that more like pearlized and then again bring this one out just so you've got that inspiration of how to decorate it or how I've chose to decorate this one anyway but this is a birthday card and I think it's going to look lovely displayed on the mantle like so I think it's lovely so yeah so I hope you've enjoyed this folio album birthday card I'm not entirely sure but nonetheless I think it is a really sweet little project I've loved using these papers that's pretty much it now like I said I just have a few sheets left but all my toppers are gone and used up this one you some of you may notice well is slightly bigger that's because it didn't need to be that big so I just reduced it down this is the right size that you want to use but I still like this one so yeah there you have it guys I hope you've enjoyed it today please give me a thumbs up if you have and subscribe to my channel so you get to see more thanks for watching bye
