 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 dome card. So this is a 6x6, you can make it any size once you see how I've done it, it's really easy. There are some of these dome styles around but I've not seen one with the two sides which are flat so I've put this one together and I've used some of the product from my new supersiders collection so it's the let's hear it for the girls range and I've got that lovely shoe and these embellishments here and then you just open up the card, it's top folding and inside you've got life is short by the shoes and it stands up really nicely. This will fit in my 6x6 box envelopes and I will link that one just up here. You could also pop it in like a nice little gift bag and you could even maybe do one of the bouncy envelopes around it as well so that's just a normal envelope that you would make on your punch board and then when you go to actually kind of stick it together you do it over the card whilst it's kind of in there so you know it's going to fit perfectly but yeah it's really straightforward to make so let me show you how. Okay so this is the stamp set this is from my collection it's the let's hear it for the girls sentiment stamp set and I've just pulled out for that one it was the happy birthday and life is short by the shoes and then for this one it's be your own kind of beautiful which I've already stamped all the links for everything will be shared below. The embossing folder I've used which you can just see in the background there that zigzag and that's from my last collection which was the wonderful wipers so I'll be using that one and then this is the die set or it's not the die set because you don't need a die set for it but it's the dies that I've used so I'm using this scallop and the circle to actually make a frame so but you can use any circle any squares and then I'm using the shoe which I've already die cut and you can see there this time I'm doing it in gold and I've put it on some fun foam so it's got lots of dimension to it and I've also done the hearts there and the diamond and that is from the six by six circle super slider so this mechanism and everything will make the super slider cards and I'll link those up here if you haven't seen them because they're really nice and kinetic style cards that you can make and then for the papers I've used yeah this one they're both from the Geode so again it's the let's hear it for the girls I used this one here which was that marble effect and then for today's card I pulled out this one here which is one of these you've got the two there every single pattern has foiling with it and then you have three that are plain but even that one without the foiling through still looks gorgeous that's the one that I've chosen I've got some embellishments to go around the frame so let me show you what you need to do so like I said I'm working on a six by six card blank the acetate's optional you don't actually need it but I do think it looks quite nice I did think when I put that one together if you've got any kind of Disney fans this would look nice with a rose behind you could have it as like a Beauty and the Beast style card and you know decorate it you know to kind of match that theme I thought that would look quite nice so I've already got my six by six pre-made card here so this was a piece of 12 by six just scored along the 12 inch side at six inches fold in half you've got your top folding and then I've just put a matten layer inside there which is five and three quarter squared and then five and a half squared so that's all ready for me to write my message I've then got this piece here which is six by six and that's what I'm going to emboss and then this is the piece to make that actual dome shape so this here is six and a half by six and along the long side the six and a half you want to score it half an inch and at six inches so what I would say is if you want to make a five by seven you would have a piece that is five and a half by seven so whatever the width of the card is just add another half an inch and that is enough for you to be able to create that dome shape okay and then I've just got some acetate here which is to go inside which is five and a quarter by five and three quarters and then I have some gold card to cut my circle so that's all the scoring and everything so before I do any burnishing I'm going to grab my pattern paper now this piece here is going to fit perfectly within those two score lines there okay so this is five and a half by six all right and I want to stick it down first and then I'm going to die cut my aperture so you know you might be using a pattern paper to start with or a stronger card stock and you might not want to do it the way I am so but because this is a paper it will still be able you know my die machine can still cut through the two layers so I'm going to first of all just stick this one down and let that dry okay so that's all stuck down you can see it goes right up to the score lines if you want to come in a little bit you might want to have a frame you can do but I have done mine so it goes right up you can just see there a little bit of the white which you'll see once we you know fold those score lines so now I want to cut my aperture so I'm going to first of all don't need that one just want the inner circle okay if you do want to get something that's similar then I'll give you the measurements for this one here it is from cut line you're looking at three and seven eight so you know four inches will be fine and it's up to you how high up or how down how far down you have it because I've got this one which is going to create that frame I will just lie that on there just so I can see kind of how high up the top there I can probably go about there I think that's going to be nice because what I've done is I've cut the rest of the pattern so it continues onto the side pieces here you might have to trim a little bit as you go but that's completely fine so I'm just going to take that one away make sure that was back in the center there and I'm just going to pop some tape then I'm just going to run that through my die machine okay so that's cut through perfectly so that's all ready so we'll leave that to one side we'll burnish it in a moment I just want to make sure my glue has completely dried there next you want to get the piece that you're going to emboss yours might be patterned paper again you might be putting it together differently but I'm just going to lay that inside the embossing folder it will fit in there perfectly and I'm just going to run that one through okay just take that one away you see that really nice effect there then I'm going to stick that just right onto the front of this okay so that's my again top folding six by six card blank I'm now going to stick that on top you can emboss and run that through but it just will it kind of weakens it so you'll squash in the cardstock when you emboss and you know I would rather stick this onto my card front with the kalau glue because I just think that it's just going to strengthen it which is always a good thing okay so again I'm going to set that to one side so they're drying and now I'm going to cut my frame with the original circle that you would have cut your aperture with so then you know if you're using this just a nest of square dies just grab the next square size up and just sit it over you know around that one and cut them and that'll give you a nice frame but you always want to have your original circle or shape in the middle first and then whatever around it so I'm just going to sit that just so you get a nice little frame again I'm just going to run that one through my machine okay so now I've got that lovely gold sparkly frame so we'll go back to this piece here so now you just want to fold burnish those two outer school lines okay and then you just want to put a little bit of a curve into the cardstock that's just going to help it go into that dome shape you want to do this you know after you've cut the aperture otherwise you're just going to squash it so there's a little bit fiddly to do but it's better to do it after you've cut it you're just going to flatten it again you can see now it just helps when it comes up into that shape there before I stick it down I'm going to stick this frame around there and I just think again that just really frames the frame so you can really notice it a lot more you can see with that one there I used the mirror card and just all that shine on it I just think it looks gorgeous so again I'm just going to yeah I use this glue I'm just going to pop a little blob in each of those little kind of semicircles and stick that down still keeping it in that kind of you know that arched dome shape because this glue now will will dry you know in that shape you know you can always shape it whilst the glue that you you when you stuck this top layer down is still drying as well just be careful you don't want to see rip the paper or anything but if you get it into the shape whilst everything's drying still it's going to set in that shape and it's just going to become very strong okay and then we've got our piece of acetate so with this piece here I just want to run the red tape around all of the four sides this is a very thin one but you know any double-sided tape as long as it's not so thick that it you know runs run will run the risk of coming into this view here so I mean I know this one because it's very thin so I'm just going to pop thin strip on each side and then flip this over make sure it's all clean you can always give it a wipe still afterwards but you want to just rest it within that again that curve kind of let it follow you can see there now all that all looks and then I'm going to use the cullow now you can use again strong double-sided tape but I'm just going to do one at a time just so I can hold it in place because you do want to make sure this is completely dry before you let go of it because obviously there's going to be a little bit of tension just because of the shape that we've got here so again oh actually before I do that you want to lay your whatever it is you're going to have inside so I'm just going to I know I put glue on there I'm just going to lay it on there because I can lift it back up again actually no that's fine what am I doing I can do this one side I'll stick this down and then I can work out where I want to do it which actually will work out really well so we'll stick with that way I think it's last time I when I done this one I actually put the acetate I just slid that in afterwards and just tacked it with a little bit of tape so I was able to put the shoe on even when this was all together but we'll do it this way it will still work fine so just make sure everything lines up and then eventually we're going to stick these pieces I did do it so the pattern continues yeah there we go see the pattern will line up like so maybe it was the other side I'll change them but you can see that it looks really nice so again just make sure that's really stuck and then I'm going to take the backing off the foam here I've just put on some foam again just to give it even more dimension it's got quite a lot of space in there so you want to have something that's lifted just because I don't think it looks really nice and then if I just lift that up you can kind of see that looks good bring it down a little bit there oh that's perfect I'm happy with that so that's sticking nicely so now I can just pop some more glue on this side here push it up so it runs flush with the other side of the card and then you'll get that nice dome shape and you'll have about an inch lifted which is why it will fit into the box envelopes let me just check again here yeah it's literally it's just on it okay that's all done and then I'm going to stick these down if you want to do them thinner if you want to have again a border you can do you'll just see a little bit of the white which is that score line okay so while that's drying I'm then going to put my sentiment on here you could also put you know some jokie things under here you could put maybe like their favorite chocolate bar you could put a gift card in there you know there's some really nice ideas you don't need to put the glue all over that like I've done actually I'm just going to rub it away from each side you only need it in the middle part because it's actually going to be lifted at the side so that one's just going to go just at the bottom there and then I have this one which is going to go I'm going to pop a little bit of the glue as well because these aren't always the um stickiest these ones are they're not branded ones I think I just picked them up from the IY store or something and then I've got some embellishments which I'm going to stick on all of the little kind of scallop detail again completely optional but I do think it looks quite nice now if you do have anything if I flip this over again just bring it out there just so you can see how lovely does that look if you've got anything I've got a little bit on that side I'm just going to trim away flip it over and trim it and that way you'll get a really nice finish a little bit on this one just check the back just to give you a really nice finish and then because these are these are sticky but this is you know um a glitter card stock so it's it's got a rough finish to it I'm going to add a little dot of my liquid glue here and then stick it on and that way I know they're not going to fall off because these probably will so I'm just going to do about half there and then I'm just going to go around and just sit one of these in the centres okay so there is the finished card you might want to do those before you stick these bits down it was fine for me I was able to go in under them but you know if you are going to attach other things or even do that as well before you actually attach it to the card but I do I absolutely love this I was also thinking you could do this as being really nice for Christmas with a snow theme so it's like that snow global look and you could even put like a Christmas decoration in there so there's lots of ways it can certainly be used as that kind of gift and card in one I'm really pleased with this I think it looks lovely and I love that it's you know a nice easy functioning card as well so that person will know what to do and this is already for me to write a little message in it so and it just displays itself really nicely and I'll just bring in the other one there as well and just show you what they both look like I think they look gorgeous so that's today's tutorial I hope you've enjoyed it as always I will link everything that I've used in the description box below and I'll be back again very soon with another tutorial thanks for watching bye
