Make THIS Stand Out Card TODAY! Easy NO DIE Pop-Up Platform/Panel Card

hey everyone it's Sam here and today I'm back with a 6x6 version of this fun popup now I made this one this was the first video I put out on YouTube you can see this really fun popup you can add photos onto here big birthday numbers it's entirely up to you I've then got this version Oh which is upside down where I've added a different kind of rather than squares I've just added you know the decoration and build up the scene that way so you don't need any D to make these popups obviously how you decorate them that's entirely up to you use what you have this is a 7x7 size and this is the 6x6 but if you want to see this wonderful popup this is my favorite one what's inside then keep watching so the products I'm using are my old under thewater set so under the sea and riding the waves these are no longer available but if anybody does have them that's what I'm using and then I've taken the hello from my big words every card at the minute has that one on and then I thought it would work well with this set which is this one here just wanted to pop by and say and then hello and it was from my feeling happy set the bubbles is perfect for under the sea themed cards so I have cut that this is a 6x6 card blank to this piece on top is 5 and 3/4 squared and then I've just Inked it up with um unch Uncharted Mariner just around the edges so that's the color of the card in the middle but then I've just used that darker and I think it's worked really well again on the front it would just have a simple sentiment might have one of the characters and then all of the obviously main part will be inside and then inside I've got two more pieces of five and 3/4 squared and these I've created myself so I made this prep all during a YouTube live actually so I've used the Uncharted Mariner at the bottom here then it went into salty ocean and then Mermaid Lagoon and then I spritzed it with some water and blotted that off with some paper towel so you can see these light like bleach marks and then I spritzed over this lovely weathered wood and it's just given me was it weathered wood no it was the hickory smoke weathered wood look nice as well but it was the Hickory smok it's a new one and I just love that shine I think again it works really well for this theme so 6x6 card blank if you're making it yourself it's piece of 12x 6 scored along the long side at 6 in so stick all of those down so you've got that ready and then for the pop inside same as the larger one if you've already made that I shared earlier so this is a piece of 5x4 and you're going to score at half an inch 2 and 1/2 and 4 and 1/2 and then you want two pieces of 3x3 and you're going to score at half an inch 1 and 1/2 and 2 and 1/2 then if you just take your ruler and I like to use my metal stylus here what you're going to do is along the side here you can use your scoreboard for this or do it as I'm doing so along that 5 in side on the bigger piece just put a little Notch at 1 and 1/2 and three and 1 half and then flip the card over and do the same 1 and 1/2 and 3 and 1/2 you're then going to connect those two markers which you can see I've already done so I've scored right across to connect it to the bottom opposite Mark and again that one down and across so just pop your ruler down and then just score down okay you'll then create a mountain fold a valley fold and then another Mountain fold and then those crossover pieces will become Mountain folds now I've already Inked mine all L cuz I want it to look like sand so that's what I've added this is just this color card stock here this like peachy color and then I've used vintage photo just dress oxide so now you have this effect here which is that twist and Pop Style in the middle with these two here you'll do the same in terms of the folding but the scoring along that 3-in side where you've done your three vertical scores you're going to do a little marker at 1 in and 2 in and again flip it over 1 in and 2 in and then connect those marks so you get that cross through the middle same folding Mountain Valley Mountain and then the two cross pieces they need to become Mountain folds and then because you've done the fold in that orientation when you squeeze this together you want those pieces to fall in so you've got this triangle this point on the top there and it should all lay perfectly on top of each other they're the tabs where we're going to add our glue and then these are the popups again with this one here I just go back and fold those pieces and then again mount in Mount him and then just bring it together you might have to help them down into place a bit and then just take your bone folder and score that all so it's nice and burnished in the bigger card I use 300 GSM and I do say in the video I recommend that for all the popup pieces you use like a 220 230 just that softer card stock because it will add less bolt to the overall card but also with all those popups on top of each other it's just going to work I think a bit better then we're going to take the card and you want to take this one first and I'm going to use my quick grab glue and just run that all the way down just do one side at a time okay open it up and you're going to focus on this middle score line here you want it to line up with the fold of the card so just fold that under it doesn't matter at this point but just lay it down you want to make sure it's in the the middle of the card so you're going to come in 1 in okay make sure it's one inch in going to bring it around this way actually make sure that's nice and straight and then fold that under and just lay that down and then just add a bit of pressure there and fold it back fold it back that way like so okay then you're going to add the glue to the other side and then again just fold that under and fold it down once you just tacked it down close the card sh up cuz that way it will definitely kind of fall into place and it will stick where it needs to and then just carefully bring that up you can go in make sure that's all stuck down and you could build off there you could build up on here if you wanted to I'm now going to add these two and you can also have it this way it's up to you you're going to do the same with these but this time the middle score line here you want to line it up just fold that back with the fold here on this piece and you're going to come in just make sure you got half an inch in on each side so again add my glue that under make sure that's all nice and straight and then again glue on the the other side that one under fold it all flat and then just make sure they push in close it all and again carefully bring that one up just go in spreading out just making sure they're all secure so now you could just stop there you could have it this way if you want like I said loads of different ways it's definitely a style that I will revisit I think it' look nice with a slim line card and bigger popups like longer ones but check out the playlist CU you'll have those three definitely anyway three sizes again with this one you're just going to lay it down on that one fold that one under and then again just fold that one under as soon as it's kind of grabbed just fold it all flat and then I've got all of these cut and colored them all long long time ago so it's quite nice to have them all ready but I wanted to have like the dolphin he could be on a wobbler I could have him up there just again just I might get the sentiment down first and then I know exactly where I can play I could always have him he could even be attached like by his tail on that little piece just there if you wanted to also I must add if you don't want to stick them all on like this and you want the measurements for the squares so it looks like this one okay I'll just give you those measurements now so you'll want four pieces of 1 and 1/2 squared and then four pieces of 2 in squared and you can then just stick them down and they're all just stuck if you've not seen this video yet you add your glue onto here and then you stick that in lining it up to the top here and it will fit within that section and then another one and so on and then obviously the little ones there you don't want to stick them on to this one in the middle bit you obviously have them on both but if you're not adding these big squares in the middle then you could add two you know on the top there and there so you could have eight of that size for example so again you could make it look different it's up to you and then you could just have a big birthday number or something in the middle there's going to be loads of different ways that people put this together but I'm not doing that today cuz I just wanted all this kind of sound effect and then I'm just going to stick you know all the different fish I've got seaweed I've got the I said the treasure chest down there I've got the scuba daer he he would almost look good maybe I could just have him stuck and just kind of coming out the bottom there I've got Ollie the octopus there so I think I need to have him kind of Center Stage really I'm going to have a play around cuz there's so many other bits in here as well that I'm probably going to use so once it's all stuck down I'll show you it all finished e so here is the finished card like I said I've kept it plain I am going to add a small sentiment there but I'll do that near of time but I've just popped ol the octopus on the front because he's too big to go inside I really love this card I'm so pleased with how this has turned out I love the glimmer like the shine you get on the back of the card stock there I'm going to add some either water droplets or bubbles using my glaze here which just adds a really nice touch and I'll probably add it onto like their eyes and stuff but you'll see all that in my blog in the photos like closeup you got the little scuba diver down the back there and then your sentiment I decided to put it down here because the dolphin I've popped on a wobbler so it just got a little bit of movement there on the back and then just built this all up like I said every time you stick something down just go to close it and make sure it all fits in I think it's wonderful so I think whether you go for using it as a base to just build up a really fun popup or you add the squares and you do maybe something with a mini album or you want to make a more personalized card with photos of someone it's just such a great style and it's I'm really enjoying making these at the moment so hope you've enjoyed the 6x6 version the next video will be the 5x7 so you'll have a nice mix of sizes there to choose from as always thank you for watching I'll link some of the products I don't think any of this is available maybe just the the die sets there but it's more about being able to make these Fun Cards without using any specific dies so all of the main parts to this card you
