To Good to Not Share here! | Multi Tiered Bendy Card

So to make this slimline bendy card I'm using the pool party stamp set you also get the coordinating dies and then I'm also using this very cute little die set which is flamingo floaty and that goes really nicely. So you're going to need first of all you want to make your slimline card so this is a piece of eight and a quarter which is the width of A4 and then it's eight and a quarter again so just a square piece and then along one of the sides you want to score a four and one eighth fold that in half and you've got your slimline card just give that a burnish. You then for each tier I've got this cardstock here and I've just just grabbed all the different blues there starting with the darkest at the back and then the lightest and then the last two tiers are going to be the sand so they drop down in one inch increments they're all the same width so this one here is seven inches and then it's six and one eighth okay because the card's four and one eighth we want one inch one inch on each side so change this slightly differently to how I do the other bendy cards but six and one eighth by seven along the six and one eighth on all the pieces you're going to score at half an inch one inch five and one eighth and then five and five eighths so you'll have these half inch tabs on each side and then along the seven inch side just score it one past the first score line and down to the second this is just a cut line and then flip it and again one inch past the first score line and down to the second so that scoring is going to be the same on all of these pieces here but they're just slightly different sizes so again that's six and one eighth of an inch wide but this one is six inches tall and then this one is five inches tall this one's four and then three two and then I've done my sentiment piece in white and that's one inch by six and one eighth both scored at half an inch one five and one eighth and five and five eighths that one you don't need to do that other scoring because we're just going to keep that as a solid piece but all the others you'll see on the short side I've just scored at one past the score line down to the second so get all of your tiers ready you don't need to do any more scoring okay so again I'll show you with the largest piece and then how I cut this is how you're going to cut all the others so first you want to fold and burnish the score line so you've got a valley and a mountain valley and a mountain on each side on the other bendy cards I've done it so that you have one and a half on each side rather than one this time it's still going to work the same but you're just going to stick that directly onto the card and then that's just going to be I'm going to add a little bit of a curve into that in a moment you want to create some shape along the top you can keep them straight if you want but what you're going to do is just cut along those score lines and just remove the square like so and again just take that piece out like so and then because I want to create like waves if you've got wave dies or anything like that use them but I'm going to kind of just start from there but I want to come up then quite high and then just create a bit of a curve effect and then I just want to kind of round it off you want to kind of join back there so each one's going to be different so that's the back one you see when I stick it onto the front of the card it starts to work better so the next one here I like to remove the squares first I mean if you want to just go and then cut straight and you can but I just find by removing these first then I know I know where the area I'm working in and then again with this one I'm going to flip it so I come up a bit deeper on this side and then I'm going to do a bit more and then kind of drop down there now when I sit that one over this one we've got a different look and each one's going to have a bit of a bounce in it I'm just going to make that a little bit smoother have you got any like rolling hill kind of dyes things like that they will all work as well to create that look of waves I'm just going to continue that with all of these and even on the ones that are going to be the sand so I've cut all of those and I'm just going to use one of my brushes here it's already got ink on it just to add a little bit depth to the tops there I'm going to use the same one for all of them and then using a ruler or a bone folder you want to add a curve into each piece so that when you place them down even when it lies flat it's got that bounce so that it will just lift itself up like so okay and now we can start sticking each one down so I'm going to use my quick grab glue I'm going to work on one side first you could stick both down at the same time but if you've never made one before it might be worth just doing one at a time and then you're going to line up this outer side with the outside of the card and then add your glue along the other one and stick it down the same way now you've got that bouncy piece and then the next one you're going to do exactly the same but you're going to stick it on top of this piece and you're just going to repeat that process with all of those tiers that's all of them stuck down you can see how much they bounce there's a really nice spring to it so it will just come into that shape as soon as it's out of the envelope now you also don't need to have it on a side fold card but I just wanted to show in this tutorial because I think the last two I've just cut the back piece and then you just write your message on there so if you do want to do it that way you just need a piece of four and one eighth by eight and a quarter and then it would just be like this but I thought it's quite nice to just see how it is with the folded card as well then I've gone and put together the little flamingo that is so cute so I just cut the main one in pink two of the wings and then this one in white that one in black and that's the beak that just layers up and then I've just put a bit of black behind the eye there just went around the edges with some of my pink ink and then I popped the little very cute unicorn in there but I did think this would work really well with my circus animals from my own collection so I think I'm going to have this one there and then I've just stamped and colored all of the cute critters there and you've got the icons to match I'm just going to play around with these here I'm going to have that one sunbathing she's got the little bath towel so maybe him there have another one in a ring maybe I'll have the flamingo that side actually and then yeah maybe like that and then we've got the beach ball I've got the little speech bubble which says relax which I wanted to have but I think I'll have him more in the middle like that and then he can be quite high up there that one put the ball there we could have another ball up here and then on the back here I'm just going to stamp the birds I've got from my own stash I'm going to get that all stuck down that's my finished slimline bendy card I think it's worked really well with this theme thank you for watching today and we'll be back again soon bye
