This tutorial demonstrates how to create a 6x8 pop-up slide card using the \"Made to Make\" kit. The project features a sliding mechanism that reveals a hidden birthday message and optional 3D pop-up elements for a dynamic, layered display.
Hey everyone it's Sam here and today I'm going to show you how to make this six by eight version
of the pop-up slide card. I've shared a couple on the channel now but I haven't done this size
and I wanted to use my new kit, made to make kit, to decorate this one with the very cute little
card there that I've used but it reveals this message, there's a little slide section there.
Happy birthday to you, wishing you lots of love on this special day. You don't need any dyes to
make this one, I've done the pop-ups a little bit different to the other way. All of the pop-up is
completely optional as well, you might just want to have this piece opening and then just decorate
it differently inside so there's quite a few ways to change it as well but it's really easy to make
so let me show you how. So I'm using my made to make, this is issue three and I'm also going to
use one of the verses from my all the verses set and it's the top one, happy birthday to you,
but everything else is using what's in the kit there. So I've already stuck some of the pieces
down so you want a piece of 10 by 8 and along the 10 inch side you're going to score it five
right down through the middle and then you want to add your mats and layers. So I've got
the gold holographic which is four and three quarter by seven and three quarter,
you want two of that size and then this is going to be the background, this is what will be
upright when you open the card and then the pattern paper is four and a half by seven and a
half. I love the design of this, it looks like a wallpaper but it's just such a cute style and
I've gone for plain on the bottom because this is where I will have probably my handwritten message
when I send the card. So get all of those stuck down, fold it in half, give it a good burnish,
then for the front of the card, so this is what they will see when they take out the envelope,
this is a piece of eight by six so it's that full card size and then I've got the mats and layers
on top so you've got the gold holographic is seven and three quarters by five and three quarters and
then seven and a half by five and a half and get those all stuck down and then you'll want this
piece which is what's going to pop out the bottom so you can have a hidden message on here. This
will be added to the playlist once it eventually goes live because this is first going out to the
subscribers of the kit and then once the next kit comes out then it will be live so depending on
when you're looking at this there may not be everything in the playlist just yet. So this is
a piece of six and a half by five, along the six and a half side you're going to score at half an inch
and then just fold and burnish. Then for the little pop-ups which are all optional,
you don't need to have as many as me but I've got three of this size which is half by three and a
half and along the long side you're going to score that way actually at half, at one, two and two and
a half and just fold and burnish all those score lines, we'll stick those together in a minute
and then for the cart to pop up I've got this piece of two and a half by two and a quarter,
to be honest the length can be anything you want really because that's what it could be as long as
the whole card so it could be eight inches, this is just a bit of scrap which is why it's two and
a quarter but two will be fine, two and a half is up to you as long as you do the two and a half
width okay because along that you're going to score at half an inch, one inch, one and a half
and two and you just want to fold and burnish all those pieces so taking your main one here,
if it's directional paper make sure it's the right way up, with this one fold it over again
with it in this orientation, fold it down, this piece is going to stick with this end flush with
the open end here so can you see this is set back and that's how it's going to be, this actually
ends up being like the stand for it because that's how it will stand up like this so if you add your
glue all on this piece so I've got the fold at the top and again with it facing the right way
I'm just going to sit that over the top make sure it's nice and flush with this end just give that
a minute to dry, open it up as well make sure it's nice and neat that way because that's how it's
going to be displayed and you can just lay it that way if you want just to dry, just whilst that's
grabbing I'm going to stick these pieces together so with this one because you'll have five half inch
pieces on the right hand end on this side just take a little bit off okay and that's the one
you're now going to add your glue to and this is going to fold back in just means it won't push
it out of shape so with the glue on that one that you've just trimmed if you fold that one over with
one of the plain sides and then fold the end over and you'll see it will fold nice and flat and then
open it up and fold it back the other way give that a good burnish and then with these ones
you'll have an end that's got a one inch section and an end that's got two half inch sections
that's the one you want to add your glue to so that very end
tab and the same thing just going to fold it over so you've got the glue and one of the plain ones
and then fold over one inch section when you bring it up you've got that rectangle shape
these are going to pop out I just wanted them a bit longer if you want to have yours popping
out even further then extend the one inch section keep your half inches so if you want to do so if
you want to have it you know two inches then you do half an inch at one and then score it three
and then three and a half and then it would be a five inch piece so you can play around with the
length of that okay so once you're happy that that's stuck down you then want to take this
piece you're going to run your glue along the front along that tab there's the fold facing the
top this one is going to go in the middle it's going to go flush with this one you just want
to make sure it's in the middle so you're looking at one and a half on each side I just bring it up
to the side for you you can see how it should all look you can see straight away how that's going to
pop out you then need another bit of card I forgot there is another bit of scoring you want to do
this is a piece of 10 by two and a half and along the 10 inch side you're going to score
and nine inches so make sure these are folded in and they're going to stick over the top here
you want to bring it up about one inch from the bottom here but you're sticking the you're going
to add your glue here you're sticking it onto the back of the card so there's that flap you could
stick it down if that's lifted if you want but you're going to have to slide it under anyway
so you might as well do it whilst it's over the top my glue is all on the back there
I'm just going to stick this one down give everything a good burnish make sure it's all
secure and now when you open it your tab will pop out the bottom and it will stand up so I can see
how much room now I've got to stamp my message I'm just going to put a little pencil mark there
very light I'm going to open it right up now you can still put this in your stamping platforms
so it's easy to stamp on yeah the happy birthday to you wishing you lots of love on this special
day which will fit perfectly okay just worry about that little pencil mark I'm just going
to give that a minute to dry because I don't want it to smudge when it goes back under but
you can see now how that looks next we can attach these pieces here so this is my beautiful little
floral cart and I want this one to pop out just a little bit however far this comes out you have
to then take into account it's got to fold flat and it might poke out the top so that's why I've
just gone for this little half inch platform that's going to stick right up into that corner
and it can just attach the wheels and then when that folds flat it just fits inside which is
perfect I've then got these ones because I want to have some of the flowers some of the flower
pots are going to pop up like so I'm going to stick this one down first if you just fold it in
half and you just want to add your glue to one section that's facing you and then flip it over
and the same piece on the back okay you see it's both covering those same sections
just pop that in the middle push it right up into the fold and close the card just let that glue
and grab there we go and carefully lift up and just make sure that that's definitely secure
I might want to go in with some tweezers or something just to make sure that's completely
stuck down just adding a little glue behind the wheels you can see how much is going to attach
I'll put it this way so you can see it a bit better
you need to lift them up just a little bit from the bottom you don't want them to
make a bit of a scratching sound it's just a couple of mil off the bottom there
I'm going to pop that underneath just to stop that dipping whilst that's just drying a sec
and then I can also stick these in so with these ones they work exactly the same way
you want to fold it flat this time because you've got two different sizes the bottom one
is that whole one inch section and then the little half inch on the top is what's going to
attach to the back so this will attach to the bottom this will attach to this piece here and
it's up to you where you're going to position these you might want to stick one on this one
and have the floors in front but I think I'm going to have my space for my message so I'm
going to put one here I'm just going to drop that half inch section you can stick them down
opened up a little bit if you want just to kind of help plan out
and see that one and that would look and that all can stick on top but now I think that that's
that glues this thing I'm just going to close the card now just so I can stick that one down
better I'm going to stick this one on the other side I might end up using this one actually on
the front that's the card all finished I've just kept the front quite basic just with a
large sentiment there and then one of the little bouquets from the stamp set and then when you
open it up you have this wonderful display and those little pop-ups I've added this the happy
birthday that's one of the pieces that you can cut out from the paper pad I put it on a little
wooden stick I didn't put it onto this because I just didn't want to add more weight onto it
because it is holding up okay but yeah if I add any more it might topple and then you can see
I've added the extra pop-up onto that one so just stick it down the same way that I showed you to
do those and then I've just layered up on top of them with some foam but everything is just ever so
slightly lifted from the bottom just to stop it catching and then I've got my space for my message
but I think it looks quite nice plain but you've also got all your space on the back you could
write your message you know there if you wanted to along this piece to maybe do a mat and a layer
on there there you have it it displays really nicely so I hope you've enjoyed this card for
