Lift & See Panel Card

Hey everyone, it's Sam here and today I'm going to show you how to make what I called a lift and slide. I made this tutorial four years ago with a butterfly. I thought it'd be a nice one to revisit because I wanted to make a fry up. So I've got to have an excellent birthday on the front and then when you open it you have this dinner plate that slides up with this lovely breakfast which has made me very hungry and then the sentiment have a banging day. So it can display like so or you could display it like this so you know it's up to the recipient and you've got space on the back there to write your message. So let's get started and I'll show you how to make it. So I'll start with what you need for the inside little pop-up. So this is a piece of three by two. Along the three inch side you're going to score it three quarters, one and a half and two and a quarter. Just fold and burnish all of those score lines and then You want a piece of three by two again, oh they're both the same size, I didn't even realise, and then all you're going to do is along the three inch side of this one is just score at three quarters of an inch and just fold and burnish. So that is going to sit on top like this or attach the plate to this section and that's how it will then just kind of slide up and be facing you. Then this is just a six by six store-bought card blank. If you're cutting it from scratch you want a piece of 12 by 6 and along the 12 inch side just score it six inches. And then using this design here from the Tabletastic Patterns paper pad I've cut two pieces of, well actually I'm going to use three, so if you want to decorate it how I am then three pieces of, I've done five and seven eighths squared. I just wanted a very thin white border. If you want a bigger border then do five and three quarters squared. So I've already stuck one on the front one here and then I'm going to cut another one for here but I don't want to stick it down yet. You're going to place it, cut it, you want to be able to remove it again because we're going to put some acetate in between the layers and I don't want you to see the acetate. So using my nesting dies I've got this circle which is a four and a quarter Quarter diameter. You don't have to cut the aperture, you can have this pop up without the aperture, so if you haven't got any dies it's fine. So this is the one where you don't want to stick it down, but you just want to tack it in place. I'm just using a low tack tape and then just stick that down as if you were sticking it down with glue, and then you want to lay your die down in the Let's check you've got about the same border. On the top of mine, it's about three quarters all the way around. That is pretty good. I'm not going to worry too much. Tack that down and I'm just going to run that through my machine. And before you take it away, just check it has, yeah, that it's cut all the way through and then remove everything. And even though that's a circle, just make sure you keep it in the same orientation that it's going to be stuck down because... If you're not bang on, then you're going to notice it when you stick it back down. I've then cut myself this piece of four and three quarter squared acetate. This is optional. You don't have to add the acetate. Okay, so that's all stuck down. And then you can stick this piece back over the top and you know that that aperture is going to line up. I'm going to use double sided tape back in place. I'm going to probably make some frames for these as well. I'm thinking gold mirrored card. I think that will look really nice. But now we've got just a simple aperture card at the minute, which is a nice card on its own. Next, we're going to add this pop up here. So all you want to do is fold it in half. So you've got your two open sides and you're going to add your glue on both of the open ends. So that one, flip that over. And I worked out that it's about an inch that you've got here if you're cutting the size aperture into the 6x6 as I am. So you just want to sit this in the middle. Then if you want to mark the centre with your ruler, there's three, two, two and two. I'm happy with that. So just up to the score line and then close the card. And then when you bring that up, you will have this little pop up, which I've done many times. But now we need to add this piece on top. So you're now going to add your glue on this section. And then just sit that one over the top. Give the acetate a good wipe in a minute as well. I've got a few sticky finger marks on it. Just fold it back the other way as well, just so that it's all laying nice, no matter which way it's opened. And then put them to one side so I don't get confused. My plate, this is a four and a half diameter. I said you can use the same one if you want. This is going to stick onto this section here, this bigger section, so when it's closed it's going to be right up there, but it's going to be pulled down, it's not going to be attached to any of that, it's going to get pulled down, so it's in that position because you're sticking it onto this part here. So if you just add a blob of glue in the middle and then just take the circle, I'm putting it into there, I'm not pushing it down onto the glue just yet, You could actually just sit here. Close the card. So now the fun part for me, and that is decorating with my fry up. How do you have your fry up? So this is the set that I've got. It's how do you like your eggs? And you've just got elements there to create a breakfast of your choice. I know there's going to be other things like black pudding. My dad will be like, where's the black pudding or white pudding? I can't put everything on here, but we've done the most common things. I mean a hash brown. I know there's not a hash brown on there, but it means that we, if this does well, as I always say, we've got room then to be able to make and bring out more. So watch this space. So I've done two eggs, two sausages, three rashers of bacon, spare eggs there, baked beans, mushrooms, tomatoes. The tomatoes can also be gherkins, they're from the fast food set. I don't know if I've shared that one yet, it's this one here, I've got a fun tutorial where I'm going to be doing the takeaway with the drumsticks and the fries and the drink and things like that, so you can see there, so they can be gherkins or tomatoes, yeah I mean you could probably make a slice of toast, cut a couple of triangles, ink them up a bit, you know, add them underneath, you just see in a little part of them, and then I've got the sentiment have a banging day, which I think I'm going to stamp directly onto here. So that when this plate slides up you see that sentiment because this is how it's going to be when it's open and then it won't have you know there'll be nothing for it to catch on so it can close easily as well. This is a coated paper so just whatever you stamp on it give it a chance to dry before you um obviously you know open and close and move stuff on it because you wouldn't want to ruin it. You could also you know have that on the front there just bear in mind when you open it you're going to see there. I'm going to find another sentiment for the front. And I'll get the frames cut as well. So I'm going to have a play around, get it all stuck down, and then I'll show you at the end. Also, what I have done is I've shaped, so like underneath the sausages, I've just like curved the sides. And then you can put some foam underneath. There is going to be a bit of dimension. It's still going to close. It's not like heaps of dimension, but I just think it adds. And I've seen the drop shadow all adds to the kind of like making it look a little bit more authentic, even though, you know, they're not real. But you know what I mean? Yeah, it just creates that look and just build it up. I'm going to put the bacon on last. It's kind of sitting over the beans. I'm also, I don't know how people are with their fries, but I don't like, I wouldn't put the tomatoes and the beans together, for example, that would really irritate me. So I need the beans by like the dryer thing. So maybe beans over here and then I might have the tomatoes maybe there and then the sausages. Yeah, me put the egg on top. I think that's all part of it. So, like I said, I'm going to have a play around them and I'll show you in a bit. So I decided to add another sentiment on the front. Have an excellent birthday. And then when you open it up, you have a dinner plate, lovely fry up. It has made me hungry, I'm not going to lie. And what I did, because I said this is a coated paper and I've used Versafine, which does take a little bit longer to dry, even on normal cardstock, what I did is I just went over With the clear gloss superfine embossing powder, just shake it over because it's still wet. So that acts as a versafine, as like your sticky watermark ink. And then I just set it. So that is You know completely dry now even though it's probably still wet underneath but also you've got that lovely shine now to the sentiment. I'm also going to add some glaze on the egg yolk and probably on the baked beans as well actually and I've just highlighted you know areas on the sausage as well because that'll look quite nice but I'll do that once I finish this video because then I can just leave it displayed open. So have an excellent birthday and then have a banging day inside. I think it's great and you've got all your space on the back to write your message. You know, there is obviously a bit of bulk with this now. It's still going in an envelope or you could make a nice box envelope for that one or don't use the foam like I have. And it's going to be, you know, pretty flat. You're fine. And then I have added a white frame on the front. I didn't do gold in the end. It just didn't quite look right. But I haven't done one inside because I've stuck this down. So if you do want to add a frame inside as well, then, you know, stick the frames down and then stick the little mechanism piece in. But I just took the original aperture size and then the next size up in my nesting dies. and then tape them together and then just pass that through and that will give you your frame. So I hope you enjoyed this tutorial from me today. I will link to the other one that I did as well which has the butterfly on if you want to have a look at that version and I will have the products that I've used they will be in the description box below and you can also display that so if the person maybe isn't quite sure that it can stay like this they can easily display it like that and it still looks really nice. Give me a thumbs up if you've enjoyed today and drop me a comment because I do enjoy reading them and I will be back again very soon with another tutorial. Take care.
