 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 a inside-out card, that's what I'm calling this. So from the front it's very plain, the whole point is that this is not going to then be seen because what you're going to do is the person you'll give it to, it fits in a five by seven envelope, you can see that fits in perfectly. They will open it up and then the whole thing turns around so it's inside is now out and I've made this Happy New Year card and I adore this. I adore sparkle and I just think the Dovecraft holographic card stock which you can see there looks so fun and works really well for this Happy New Year card and then it just stands up like a normal card. There we go and it does work. The key to this is making sure your card doesn't crack and I'm going to show you how to do that. You've got plenty of room on the back to write your message, if you wanted to you could write something else you know repeat these squares here. I have used again these are the First Edition Number Dies, these are the Simply Creative Champagne, that's the Simply Creative Balloon Dies and then these are also the First Edition Small Letter Dies. So it's just super fun and then the papers I've used here these are pearlescent papers with the feathers and this is from the Mariposa collection which I'll show you in a moment and it's just so shiny and the nice thing about this is when you walk past it it will you'll get that kind of look as you walk past so it's always going to have a shine, different light hits it. It's just really really fun card but like I said it does stand up just like a normal top folding card and then the whole thing just closes up. A little bit of bulk there where you've got the fold but nothing too bad. Okay so let's crack on and make it so I'm just going to fold that one back up and pop it in there just to keep it protected. So like I said that's using the Mariposa so if I bring this over here I'll show you that holographic here look you can just see look at the different rainbow colors that you get reflected off the light there and this is 10 sheets it's really good value for money it's really strong as well it's 210gsm and yeah I will share all the links to that in my blog and then this is all you need so I've gone ahead as always done lots of bits and pieces so I'll talk you through all the sizes for those in a minute. I've already gone and done my happy new year just die cut those and I've just layered them on a darker purple and can you see just behind if I put it on my hand there just behind the silver is that purple so it gives it just a little bit of a frame so actually they've got like a shadow you see so just a little tip there if you just want to lift them off a little bit that's what I've done there so that says happy new year I've also got my 2019 the balloons and the champagne that's already all been die cut in that mirrored card stock. Okay so for the main card base you want a pre-made 5x7 card um or make it yourself so if you've got pre-made it may crack because that would have been factory made whereas if you do it yourself it's a bit easier so this is a piece of 10x7 card stock and then all you're going to do is score it halfway you want to do it on both sides you're going to score it 5 and then flip it and 5 again and you may want to do that again so again I'm just going to show you I mean I've done this a few times you're just weakening the fibers you're squashing them together um you know don't fold it without burnishing um sorry don't fold it without scoring because that's when it will crack but now you can obviously burnish it on one side and then fold it over and burnish it on the other side and you just don't want any cracking see that's nice and smooth there's no cracking a cool tool because that's basically now like a hinge it's going to fold both ways okay so that's what you need for that piece then your mats and layers so this is again I've already done that one ready so I'll talk you through those sizes so this piece here is for the front of the card so this is just to decorate it just so it looks like you know you can obviously keep it completely plain if you want but I've just gone and put that on there that piece there measures four and three quarters by six and three quarters so I've just dropped down by a quarter of an inch there then these pieces are to go inside on both of the side panels that fall down so my holographic mirrored card stock here is four and three eighths of an inch by six and three quarters you'll need two pieces of that size and then you'll want two pieces of four and one eighth of an inch by six and a half and they're going to layer on top like so and you can see that I've already done that one and again you just get that really nice frame and you can go ahead and stick that one on the front of your card obviously this is a landscape top folding so if you've got a directional paper that's kind of directional I think that's the way it's meant to be then you want to make sure it's up that way when you stick it down okay those pieces and then for the actual mechanism I guess the piece in the middle that pops up this is a piece of six by six and three quarters so what you want to do is along the six inch side is you're going to score it half an inch three inches and five and a half okay then fold it in half just burn shit with your fingers for the minute and then pop it in so you've got the folded end at the top of your scoreboard okay so mine opens like that and pop that in and then you're going to score at one and a half just down to the half inch score line so don't go to the very bottom just to that score line so that's at half an inch then you're going to do sorry that was at one and a half inches then you're going to do one and three quarters of an inch okay so you're just creating a little quarter inch little kind of strip there then the next score line is going to be at three and a quarter and then three and a half and then the last ones are going to be at five and at five and a quarter okay so if I bring that up we can hopefully there you can see so there's that half an inch one running down here and then coming down is these score lines see they all only just go to that score line and each one of these you should have three and they will be a quarter of an inch we're actually now going to cut them out coming in from this folded side here so you don't need to score on both sides it's probably gone through you can see I've got a slight impression on the other side there but that's what we need so we'll cut that in a second before I get rid of the scoreboard you then need these pieces and they are going to decorate those panels that pop up so the top the mirrored cardstock the larger piece is one and a half by two and three eighths and then the purple that I've got on top of that is one and one eighth of an inch by two and one eighth and you want four of each size this is entirely up to you how you want to decorate it and what cardstock you want to use so that's all the scoring that's all the measurements that we need so now we can do some cutting so with this piece here I'm going to grab my snips and with the folded side facing you and with all these score lines facing you you're going to cut so first of all here I'm going to cut down that one keep your cardstock try and really pinch it together so it doesn't move because you are cutting two at the same time you can see that I've just cut down that first one just right up to that score line next we're going to cut down the next score line so we're going to cut out this tiny little quarter inch strip like so so now you can see this is becoming free and then it's entirely up to you what I'm going to do is I like to go along and do all of them like that so then go along to the next two here so this is the middle ones and I'm just going to cut them I'm kind of cutting away the score lines so I'm cutting to the left and right of each one just so it gives you a bit more of a finished look so that's that one now and then go to the very end one so like so then you can go in now if you want and kind of fold that back and cut across but what I prefer to do is open the whole thing up and with my metal ruler and my cutting knife you just get a bit more of just a cleaner finish you're just going to cut that tiny quarter inch piece so just join it across to the other one so that one try and get my shadow out here okay so now that you see they just all pop out like so and then just rotate and just cut that the same on the other side okay so now they should all come out and I just for me that just gives me a really nice clean kind of finish so now fold it back in half and it should look like that these score lines here you just want to fold up like so so that is the shape and you can see now how that's going to look when we pop it into the card so next what we need to do is grab the these pieces and your decoration this is much easier to decorate flat okay so fold it out flat decide whether you want this to be your front or that to be your front so I'm really not bothered at all I'll do this one and then the each of these are going to sit and they give you a very very small frame so you can see the white there I get it's literally like it's one sixteenth of an inch all the way around it's just very small okay but I'm going to go I've already put some double-sided tape on the back of these so I'm going to go and get those ones all stuck down okay so you can see now those are all stuck okay next you want to decorate it so obviously I've gone ahead and already done these ones here so I've got my 2019 so they are going to stick like so and then I've got my champagne glass there and bottle and then I'm going to have the balloon I'm going to do it the same they are going to separate people but that's how I'm going to stick that down now I did run through I always forget but when I made the first card I ran these all through using some double-sided sticky sheets so you basically stick on the holographic paper you'd stick it on the underside and you put your die on top run it through and then basically you peel off the backing and you'd have a sticker I forgot but another quick tip that I've done for many many years is pop your glue on the back of your hand like so and you only need a tiny tiny bit so all I'm doing is just very carefully just tapping it down and if you're working with mirrored cardstock if you're anything like my mum she loves it but she hates it because she always gets smudge marks from the glue which is why it's best to use the double-sided sheets but if you haven't got them let the glue completely dry once it dries completely put a very tiny bit of surgical spirit on a cloth and you can wipe over the mirrored cardstock but dab it you don't want it to really go on your card although it does dry clear and dry or put just get a little piece of tissue or a rag and just very carefully buff it and it will come off eventually okay so there are ways to get rid of any of those kind of markings and then just literally just dab it very carefully and they get stuck down and I've got no smudges or anything so again I'm just going to pop a little bit I'm using very very little glue you know this is just a very lightweight piece of cardstock you don't need to you know douse it you can also use your you know any kind of tape runners but the problem with some of those is it because these have all got bits in them you're going to get all of these little gaps would obviously have the sticky exposed so yeah it would end up maybe like dust and stuff like that would end up settling in it but um do you know I had a thing then I thought I'd done it wrong but 2019 though it's done I've got the right order and then that one there again a little bit on the bottom and just make sure they're all lined up all kind of at the same height you can see there how quickly that was to stick down and then these ones here I'm just going to arrange like I said the champagne I want them coming off because they're gonna obviously overhang and stick you know stand up even more I'll do the balloon I'm just popping a little bit just on the very middle part of the balloon there because that's all I'm actually sticking down I'm leaving the tail loose and the top is all loose because I don't want it sticking so I've only literally stuck it in that middle bit there and then I'm going to stick the bottle down first again very very small amount have that on an angle like so and again pop a little bit I've still got a bit there and then I can just peel this off my hand once I've finished which I find very satisfying and pop that one on an angle like so so if I bring that out there I've got a tiny bit of glue I can see just on the top of the zero there which I can rub off but other than that that is so shiny with no glue okay so it's a nice quick way to do it so just pop all this out the way okay so now what we want to do is turn this over and you're going to run double sided tape so I'm going to use my red tape so it's nice and strong this is the half inch tape so it will sit perfectly within this half inch tab that we've got running here and then I'll use my scissors there just snip that off at the edge go around the other side there okay and then just remove the backing she says I've got it but then sometimes you get right under it there we go now don't fold it over but don't fold them together obviously you don't want these sticking together they now have to stick over the card so side obviously whether you want it that one or that one I'm not too fast this isn't the inside the score lines need to line up with the top folded part again you're sticking this on the folded side not on the open side so this side here first of all if I open it up I'm going to do it that way so this score line here is going to run along the top of that score line there so again very carefully I'm just going to tack down oh and it doesn't meet that's it I've got to make sure you want to have an even overhang as well so I'm actually looking through the gaps here if you look through that gap I can see the top of this if you kind of use that as your gauge and then just eyeball make sure you've got you know the same overhang on the left and the right there so I'm happy and then stick that down like so okay so if I flip that over now you can see where that's going to go okay and then this one just fold it down and it will just nicely go on the back there okay then you need to test it and fold it back over on itself like so and it should all fold flat which it does okay so you can see now how that's going to work now what we need to do is you need to make this nice and strong and you need to give it a nice weight which is why you want to use the what you call it I'll get there in a minute the mirrored cardstock so I've already done this one here and I put my backing on so let's take this off here and then this one will line up with the bottom of that white half inch so if I line that all down like so so I just bring that up you can see now how nice and neat that is and then bring this one around and again I've done my backing on the mirrored so I'll stick the other one on top in a second and just line that one up with the white like so and then again stick this one on top and that one stick nicely in the middle and then you also need a piece to go on the back which I forgot I always forget to do that piece for my message and that is this piece here so you see what I mean so this matter went right over but I've actually brought that down but I wanted to try this one lifted up so there are different ways obviously you can put this together this white piece is five and a quarter will be fine by three okay so that will be to write your message on but yeah if I just bring that so you can see there the difference both both work and both just as nice actually also I'm jumping ahead but now that's got a weight so straight away it wants to go that way so pop it back just fold that all in but now it stands up and it does it looks so good so now I need to put my message there you can see with this one it does exactly the same so that one stands up but if I you see it's got more of a triangle here whereas this one they're really close together because obviously we put them over that score line but personally from making both I prefer this one I think this one's stronger and actually works better but then maybe if you want that flat that one looks quite nice with that effect there so yeah that one I've come out maybe an inch rather than going in with them together you see there you see or that one there they've come out an inch all the same measurements but it's yeah two different ways to do it and the mats and layers are the same as well so it's yeah play around with it but personally I think I prefer this finished look so now I'm going to stick my happy new year down on here and there you go look at that look at the shine and the sparkle again this one it does it I think it wants to stay in that shape much better if I pop this one up it still works but it kind of moves it always like does a little bounce it still works really really well like I do like both styles but I think technically that one works better and I think what I might do is that's going to go on the front but I'm going to do another strip along here of this same paper or I might just do another whereas all my um let me just show you so this is the same length a bit of leftover cardstock here and I'm going to cut this see I've gone past the mark isn't it I'll actually if I go that way it'll be better so let's just do this is going to be about three eighths of an inch I'll cut another one in a minute but just to show you there that looks really cool so let me just stick that one down so there you go just stuck that with my double-sided tape and look how cool that strip looks through the middle now so I'm going to do another one there off camera like I said you can decorate the backs of these if you want to but now that stands up really nicely and that's the profile that they see what a cool card now this will look great with any four letter words as well so you could obviously have love you can do more but then you these are going to become thinner so obviously if you double that up and you wanted eight they're going to be very very thin um but you can obviously lengthen your card if you want to do like an eight um you know eight inch card which would look quite cool as well with this style but even with just decorative bits of paper you might have some little animal dyes or all sorts to be good to go on this it's it is it's so so fun but yeah inside out card so let me stick that one on there as well and there's the front like so so that's how they receive it if you want pop a little note in there to say turn this card inside out open it up love it and like I said it does look nice like that as well but personally I do think they look much much nicer up like that so there you go two inside out cards hope you like it and a happy new year although I will say a happy new year again at some point on my channel and on facebook but I thought I put this one out now so you've got a good week still till the end of the year and if you do send these out I know they're not maybe the most popular um cards that are given out new year cards but I do think it's nice just uh you know maybe there's a particular person that you want to wish a happy new year too so I know I've got some people that I do so there are my my ones for this year so hope you've enjoyed it hope you like this new card style if you do please give me a thumbs up as always and subscribe to my channel so you get to see more thanks for watching bye
