Pop-up Box Card Class

1. Pop-up Box Card Class Introduction: Welcome to the pop-up box card class. I absolutely love cards that have dimension to them. There are 3D that also fold flat to male. And this is one of my favorite. Let me show you what we're gonna be making in this class. This is the three cards that we're gonna be making for this class. Now they don't look interesting at all this way and that's because they're folded flat and that's how you would mail them. But look at this, they pop up. Isn't that fun? You would put them on your mantle or whatever. It just play them like that. And it has some three-dimensional to it. But it's not gonna cost an arm and a leg to mail because it folds very flat. So we're going to make three different versions of this card. I've got the boxful of daisies, we've got the box full of balloons. Then we've got the box full of butterflies. I'll show you how to create each and every element for the cards. I'm going to show you how to create the base of the card. Really from there, the sky is the limit. You can create whatever themed card you want. Have fun with it. Not super easy to have displayed flat on their backs though. Now, because the card is a different size, some people may not have easy access to six-by-six envelopes. I'm also going to show you how to create a custom envelope for your card so that they'll matter what size you make. If by chance you have little bits poking out of different places of your card, you can create an envelope customized to whatever your card size is. If you're ready to get started, let's go start creating. 2. Making the Pop up Box Card Base: The very first step for creating this card is to create the card base. This is what it looks like with nothing on it. Folds flat. So we need those little strips in there and then we need the piece for the base here. And that's what it looks like with some stuff in it. So I've got three pieces of card stock that are half an inch wide by three and three-quarter inches. And all we need to do for those score half an inch on each side. That's ready to go. This piece here is that 11.5 inches wide by or long by six inches wide. So what we need to do for this piece is we need to score it at 5.5 inches and 11 inches. Then we're gonna move it up a quarter an inch and we're going to score it at three inches. So really that's two and three-quarters, but I don't have a two and three-quarter mark. And then we're going to score it at 8.5 inches, which again is actually eight and a quarter, but I don't have a quarter-inch mark there. So by just shifting it up a quarter-inch, you'll have that. You'll be able to get that right. If you happen to have some scoreboards have quarter of an inch eight dementia or whatever, you don't need to do that shifting. Then along this side we're going to score at the three inch mark up to the third line right here. And then we're gonna skip. Then we're gonna do right at that little tab there. Let's move this out of the way because we don't need it anymore. Then you're gonna get a pair of scissors. First thing we're gonna do is we're gonna cut this tab right off. All of these measurements will be lit, listed on the supply list. So you don't need to necessarily remember every single one of these measurements. I'm going to cut down that line just to the score line there. Then I'm going to fold this over just to make sure that they are all folded at the same mark. You could do the rest of the cutting and then fold it. But I just like to do it now so you can just do it all at once. Then we're going to cut along these lines up until that score line. Let me go. Um, then before we actually glue anything together, Let's get these folds in here. Make sure we have nice creases. I'm just using my finger. You can use your bone folder if you want. There we go. So there is our card base. Now, let's put some tape on here. I have some 9.5 millimeter soup wing, which in Canada we have our Oliver are labeled with metric. I believe for imperial that would be three eighths of an inch wide. You could do half an inch because we've our tabs here or half an inch. But then you're leaving very little room for accidentally getting the tape on crooked or whatnot. So I like this size for this, I'm putting the tape on that half-inch tab on the card base. And then on all of these little half-inch tabs for inside pieces. There we go. Put this tape to the side, which is press down on the tape, make sure that you've got some good adhesion to it. There we go. Now, I'm gonna take these tabs. I want to make sure that they're all folding back nicely. The first one here, I hold it so that the tape is down. I'm doing it about in a minute, about an inch down and then about halfway, halfway mark in that square. It does not need to be exact eyeballing, it totally works. And then the only other thing that you want to, and again, eyeballing it works. Make sure that this is about parallel to that. That square mark there. We don't want our I didn't even know what they would call these things. We don't want them cricket. Alright, so this one here, I place it about halfway between here and here and there. If it's not halfway, it's okay. It's not something that has to be absolutely precise. Then this last one here goes in here. And this one, I take a look at my space here, and I put about that same space there. So we've got three tabs here. I'm going to take the backing off of this, press that down and then I'm going to press this peace in here. So that piece is going to attach to that tape there. This is going to make so much more sense in a second. All right, so we take that tape, so we've got all of our tapes exposed. Then the score line, just pass where you put those tabs. We're going to fold it and then press nicely. And then I do it the opposite way. There we go. We have our card-based all made and ready to go, as simple as that. So we'll see you in the next video and we'll start putting a card together. 3. Box of Daisies: Prepping the Card Pieces: Alright, so this is the first card that we're going to put together here. So the very first thing that we need to do is dicot all of our flowers and stamp and Emboss our sentiment. So we're going to start by stamping and her boss saying our sentiment. My piece of paper ready here, as well as my stamp. So I'm using a verse of Mark English is just a sticky ink and the powder is going to stick nicely to that. I have card stock that has a texture on one side and a smooth side on the other. Doing this on the smooth side, you're gonna have a much cleaner stamp when you're doing it on the smooth side of the card stock rather than the textured side. Let's pour the powder on, lightly tap the excess off. Any of this excess powder was right back into the container so we're not wasting it. Don't meet this paper anymore, but let's take out my heat gun. Melt this. There we go. Now my heat gun was cool. I hadn't used it for a few days, so it did take a few extra seconds for that to heat up, but still it happens quite quickly, so we can set that to the side. We've got four pieces of card stock here. They are two and three-quarters by 2.5. They are ready for us when we are going to assemble. Next, we need to die cut our flowers. This is the two dice that we're using. I just liked these two together because they're the same flower just from different perspectives. Alright, so I have some distress heavy stock here. You do want to have a heavier, thicker paper because you want the flowers to be able to hold themselves upright. If by chance you don't have something that's heavy. This is a, a 130 pound. You can put some acetate strips behind it. I've got acetate strips here holding up the butterflies. That'll give it some extra support. But much nicer if you don't even have to do that and you can simply have IT support itself. So this is half a sheet of 8.5 by 11. And I'm just going to get as many flowers at a here as I possibly can. For this sample, I got three, the full flowers and then I got for the half ones that are tilted. So I have my die face up, have the card stock over top. I'm bringing it up, I'm running it back and forth so that it goes both ways. There we go, forward down. We're just going to continue that until we have the entire piece of card stock cut. I will let you watch, but I will speed it up a bit. All right, our pieces are all die cut and ready to go. So we're going to ink the flowers. Now I'm just using blending brushes. And for the yellow in the center of the flowers, this is not the most precise way to do it. Probably a finger dollar would be a little bit more precise. But I'm just looking for the yellow in the center of the flower, so I'm not too worried about it. While I was laying those pieces out, you probably noticed I was picking out little bits from here. I also have some flowers facing one way. If some flowers facing the other way. Just to get a little bit more variety for the leaves, I'm going to start with a lighter green. Put my blending brush in and I'm going from the bottom up so that I end up with a bit of a shadow at the bottom of my leaves. And I'm not being super precise here, I'm just wanting the color in there. I don't need to worry about the bottom That's going to be either hidden or cut off on my card. Then I'm gonna do the bottom of the flower there just because there would be that bit of green holding below the flower that we would see. Then once the light color green is done and you could just do it with one shade of green and it doesn't necessarily have to be two. I just like deepening the greens there. Oops. Just add a tiny bit of the dark right below there, because there would be a bit of a shadow. You can see I'm very quick with it. I'm not putting too much thought in it. There we go. We've got our pieces ready to go, ready for us to put our cards together. I'm gonna wait a few minutes for them to dry and clean off my desk so that I'm not putting a car together with some green ink on my desk. I'll see you in the next video and we'll assemble it. 4. Box of Daisies: Card Assembly: All right, We've got our pieces here. We've let them dry for a few minutes and we've cleaned up. So let's put the car together. The first thing I'm gonna do is I'm going to put my mats on the card. Now. I just have one match. You could if you wanted put them another mat inside of it. It's just personal preference. I wanted to say stay fairly simple and keep the focus on whatever was popping out of the card. But it's your choice. And then the other thing is I only put mats on the top part of the card. I didn't put anything right here simply because I thought, you know what, once the card is popped up, you're not gonna see any of that anyways. So if you choose, you can put stuff, you can decorate this. I didn't find it necessary. Whatever you choose to do. And I'm using a mat collaged medium here so that if by chance there's anything that squeezes out beneath my card stock, it is going to dry matte and it's gonna dry clear and you're never gonna see that it was there. Then let's put the sentiment on. There you go. I just chose colors that coordinated with the daisies that we're going to go inside our little basket here. I'm going to put it this down while I do this. So it's gonna be kinda hard for you to see and for me to see. I'm going to place it in there without glue to see how far up I want it to go. And then I'm going to put my finger there, add a little bit of glue, then put it back down. And I do need to hold it in place for a second because we're using sum liquid glue here. It doesn't immediately stick. Want to hold it for a second just to make sure that it's going to stay. For the other cards. I'm using double stick tape, I'm using the same Sukh weighing that we use to put the cards together for that one because it's double-sided tape. I don't need to worry about it quite as much because it will stick immediately. We're just going to keep building up the card. And I find it is easier to hold it in place from the bottom because then you're not playing or touching the flowers. I'll place them. And then I will hold it from the bottom. For a few seconds. For a video, I'm being a little bit quicker than I normally would simply because I don't want to be sitting there watching me hold stuff for Just being on your own gluing it probably would take my time a little bit. Let it sit. So I've got seven flowers total. I put three in the back of that. I'm going to put two in each of the front layers. I put the full flowers in the back and the second layer, I'm going to put my half flowers more towards the front for no other reason than I feel like it. You could also fill this up with more flowers. It doesn't need to be just this many. You can fill it up with as many as you want. After a little bit, you kind of get to know how far down. We need to put your glue. Which takes a little bit of the guesswork out of it. Let's get this last one in here. One of them one of them fell out. Hold it for a few seconds to make sure that it is all stuck together. Here we go. We're ready to go. Anything that stuck out of the bottom, we can snip. Here's our final card all put together. I'll see you in the next video and I'll show you a different version. 5. Box of Balloons: Prepping the Card Pieces: This is the second card that we're going to be doing. The balloons are done on vellum, but I didn't have any colored velum, so I custom colored it to the colors that I wanted. The other thing, I kind of figured it's a birthday card with balloons, so I added a big number on the front for that. The other thing is these ones are on pieces of acetate. So I've got some stuff pre done so you don't have to watch every single thing. But let me show you how I got to this 0.1 of all, I'm going to got some acetate and you want to have acetate that's fairly thick. You want it to be between 34 inches long just so you can cut it down to whatever size you want. And you're going to cut it into half inch pieces. And it's super easy to cut a bunch of them at a time. Don't need any more than that, so that's good enough. Next step is to take your velum and color it. So all I'm doing for the velum to color it is alcohol ink. I've got my phone here. And these foam, like if you're doing a bunch of different purple stuff, you can reuse that foam. This is from doing the prep in order to reuse. It just adds some blending solution. And then I still have to add a few more drops of alcohol ink. Velum typically doesn't like moisture, but for some reason, alcohol ink is different. You can get away with alcohol inking velum, no problem. It's not going to curl in bubble like it normally does. The nice thing with this is you can get whatever shade you want. You can mix up a couple of shades if you want. If you wanted a variegated look, I wanted it darker than this. I could add some more alcohol ink to my phone. But this is good for now. I'm going to set that aside to dry. It doesn't take very long to dry. I want to say a few minutes. And then you can decrypt it. And it's super easy to dicot at dicots just like regular cards, chocolates. Put that to the side. I've got some already done, but I still need one of the smaller blooms in each one of the colors. So let's do that now. I've got my guy here. Let's move this up a little bit here. Got my die there. And I'm gonna put my velum rate over top of it. It's super easy to see exactly where the dye is. I know that I'm cutting in a perfect spot for what I need. Take that out of the die, and then do my next color. I need one more of each of the colors of LM that I've created. This is great because you can custom color your velum to, I mean, you're only limited to colors of alcohol ink. And really if the color of alcoholic doesn't exist, usually you can mix a couple of, couple of, couple of colors up and create the color you're looking for. Peace that fell on the ground. Definitely want to make sure your velum is fully within the plates of the machine though. One last color, green one. The dye that I'm using happens to have dyes for balloon strings. If you wanted to use them, you could use them. If you wanted to just use a black sharpie and color it down, you absolutely could do that. The other option is to actually use string if you can have fun with it. So I need one more set of my balloon strings that to the side. And then I was going to say one more thing I need you to do. And it's gonna be a number for the front. I'm just going to grab a number. It really doesn't matter because I'm actually not making this for a specific person. If you were, obviously you would choose a number that suits them. There we go. Let's take the machine out of the way here. Let's take this out of the die. Have that ready? Died back. Alright, so I need four of these. What I'm gonna do first is put my tape on there and I'm using the same tape that I used when I put my car together. For velum liquid glue doesn't work too well, so a double-sided tape is perfect for this. The other backing off and we're just gonna glue or balloon right down to it. Hardest part of this whole process, all honesty is taking those little bits out of the die. There we go. Then I'm only going to show you gluing one string on because the other strings are gonna be exactly the same as the first. And that way you don't have to watch me to come all out of the die. So all I'm gonna do, I'm using my matte medium once again because it dries completely clear. Just putting a tiny little bit on the back here. And it's great because it glues paper as well as non porous surfaces, so it's perfect for gluing onto the plastic. I like to put my string bullied below that velum from the balloon. If you wanted to put it on top, you could. Then I'm just gonna let that sit and dry. I'll get these last few one's ready to go and I'll see you in the next video and we'll put the car together. 6. Box of Balloons: Card Assembly: All right, We've got all of our pieces ready plus our card base here. If you forget how to do the card-based, go back to the card base construction video. We're gonna do the same as the second card. We're going to add the mats to the side and the back. And once again, I didn't do it on the card base. By base. I mean, I didn't do it down below here. But you certainly can if you want to. I'm using liquid glue to put the mats on simply because that way I have a little bit of leeway to place them exactly how I want them to go. But when it comes to putting in the balloons, I'm gonna be using back here. I'm gonna be using some double-sided tape. And that way I'm not going to have to hold it to dry. Put our birthday number in there. At the very end, we're gonna put stickers around the number here just to make it sparkle and look special. Let's put the cap on our glue here. All right, So now we put in our balloons, so same as the daisies. I'm going to eyeball where I want it to go. Put my finger there so that I know where to place my tape and then I can put a little bit of tape on there. Where did I put my scissors here there? The thing with the tape is you want to make sure that the tape is completely glued to your whatever these things are called here. You don't want it below or above. So wait, because if it's exposed when you flatten your card out, it could stick to your card base so you want to make sure that you're completely covered. That way. I'm just putting a line of glue or tape or whatever rate across. I'm not worried about angling it to how how it's positioned on that little piece there. Let's get one more in here. By having tape a little bit narrower than the half inch width of that little piece there. That's going to give you the flexibility to put these pieces to the, to an angle, however you'd like them to go. All right, actually I want this piece to go up in here. Put it slightly higher than some of the balloons in the background. I want it to look like a balloon bouquet. And typically with a balloon bouquet, the ones in the center are a little bit higher. Because you can control what colors you're doing. You can have some fun with just being creative with this. You can even stamp some prints on them if you wanted to. Nothing saying you can't. Just realized I put the tape on that one but actually didn't gonna I'm gonna put it here in the front. That particular piece was a little bit shorter. The acetate was a little bit shorter. So I want to put that in the front. Now, when I'm placing them, I'm trying not to put the same colored balloons over top of the same colored balloons. I'm trying to make sure that I have different colors over each one because I want to be able to see them. If you put the same color over the same color, you're just going to just going to hide each other and you're not going to really see them clearly. Put pink one there. I'm going to take one with a longer. Some of my acetate pieces are a little bit longer because that last piece that I cut was the end of a sheet. Just keep in mind if you want your pieces to be sticking up a little bit more, you want to make sure to have longer pieces of acetate. This is for the front. Just like before, after a while you're going to get to know how high up to put your pieces of tape here. Now let's see if I can leave this to the side so you can see the last little bit of it going together. One of those things that's hard for you to see when it's on its side or when it's sitting straight up and it's hard for me to put it together when it's laying down flat, but that's good. Last balloon. We go. So we do have it up here. So we're going to be creating a custom envelope at the end. One of those things, if you want it to completely encase the six inches by six inches. A little bit lower. I think it's 6.5 or six inches by 5.5, then make sure that your balloons fit within there. I knew I was going to make a custom envelope for them anyways. So there we go. Our card is done. Let us get some stickers out of it, a sparkle to that number. You could put the sparkle around the entire or over the entire number. I'm just outlining it with it. I think less is more. By just outlining it. It adds that sparkle. But you also get the contrast of the plain pink with the sparkly pink. I'm just using an opalescent sticklers so that you see the card stuck underneath it. It just adds some sparkle to it. There you go. Birthday card done. You need to set this aside to the ********* can dry depending on how thick of a layer you do. Sometimes it can be a half an hour, it can dry fairly quick. If you do a really thick layer is going to take longer than that. So I'll typically put it somewhere where I can't touch it until it's completely dry. We'll see you in the next video and we're gonna do our pop-up butterfly box. 7. Box of Butterflies: Prepping the Card Pieces: Alright, so this is our third and final box, pop-up butterfly box. So we're gonna do some stamping first and I'll tell you for this one to get the soft prepped. There's gonna be waiting for drying time in-between. The butterflies are watercolors, so you need to wait for that to dry. Then we'll die, cut them or handcuffed them. If you don't happen to have the dyes or you're choosing a different stamp. Then at the very end, before we put our card together, we're also going to add stickers, so we need to wait for that to dry. It's going to be much easier to put this to go on the butterfly before they are in the box. But the first step, let's stamp our pieces so we can let that ink dry for a few minutes. I just have some stays on ink here. I've got my flower stamps already ready to go to stamp them on the little tabs. If by chance you have some printed paper that you liked that you'd prefer to use. Absolutely. You can use printed papers for this. Then you can custom paint your butterflies to match those papers. Obviously much easier to stamp these before a card is together. And just one last stamp image there. I've already got my sentiments stamped. And aside to dry, this is stays on ink, so it's going to dry pretty quick, but I do want to give it a few seconds. Or if some time to dry while we're creating the rest, I'm going to cut my butterflies. You do have to do this fairly quickly because the ink dries fairly quickly. This particular water paper, watercolor paper, It's kind of textured on both sides, so I choose the least textured side. I clearly chose a piece of paper that was smaller than my butterflies. But that's okay because I already have some perhaps. So this is just to show you the technique. So you would obviously want to either use less butterflies to fit your paper or have a bigger piece of paper. You do two pieces of paper, whatever you want. I, when I was creating my sample, the papers that I had were already pre-cut and they were this size. I clearly grabbed one that was a little bit smaller without realizing it. Once again, this takes a few seconds for it to dry. While that is drying. By a few seconds. I really mean like a few seconds. It doesn't take that long for it to dry. I'm going to use distress rate anchors to watercolor. I like them because they're nice and vibrant and they're transparent. This is what it is. It's just re anchor to fit into that just distress pads. And I love having a tool that does dual duty. So all I do to color these butterflies. Let me grab a piece of paper towel to clean my brush off in-between. I'm choosing bright vibrant colors. Start with peacock feathers. I started in the center and go out. I started the darkest part basically, and go out. I find it's much easier to point your paintbrush where it's going to be darker. Then for all of the butterflies, it doesn't matter which colors I'm using. Clean to the brush. And this brush, you only clean it by squeezing it out onto paper towel and then your brush is clean. That was a little bit lighter than the other side. So I'm just going to add some more ink to it. All of the butterflies, I did one color in the center and then a different color from the outside going in. So that same picked raspberry, I'm gonna go in the center of this butterfly. You can see that I rotate my paper. I just find it easier to rotate the paper rather than to try turn my, oops, that wasn't quite clean than to turn my brush around. I'm gonna do yellow on the outside here. Like I said before, if you choose printed paper, you can custom color your butterflies to match whatever papers you choose, which is also gonna be very pretty. That same yellow mice will grab that for the center of another one. Then. I know I had some of those purple. The one thing to know about these real anchors is on this palette, they never dry, so they have to be stored horizontally. Just something that was better to know ahead of time rather than thinking they're going to dry and tipping them up and having them all leak out. Alright, so you would continue until all of your butterflies were completely colored. Now you need to let that totally dry. So I'm gonna pause the camera. When this is totally dry, we'll go into die cutting. Now. This particular stamp set when it first came out head dies that matched it. Likely that said is discontinued. If you happen to have it, this is how you die, cut it. If you don't happen to have it, I would hand cut it. Butterflies are fairly simple to handcuff. These are all simple shapes. You don't have to hand cut the little antenna, even the dice don't cut those out. I'll see you in a few minutes and we will do some dye cutting. Or butterflies are mostly dry, but I got impatient. Knowing that I already have some ready to go. I don't really need to wait until it 100% dry, but you definitely want to wait till it's dry because otherwise you're gonna be transferring your ink to your machine plate. Making a mess. Basically. These particular dyes have the blade raid on the line there. So it's really easy to just look at it and line it up. You need to tape it in place so that, you know it's not going to shift in the machine. If by chance you have your entire piece colored ready to go, you need to do it in two steps. You would do those butterflies first or second. And then you would do this in another run. And the reason is the chances of the dyes overlapping, overlapping each other, or is too great, as well as the fact that you can't properly tape your dies down so that they don't shift. And we don't want to ruin our dies. After taking the time to stamp a watercolor. We also want to be able to do position everything as best as possible to get a clean dicot. So I'm going to put it face down, run it through my machine, then just poke it out. I'm going to set that aside because I actually don't need it. I do have some ink on here, so you definitely need to clean this off before using it. Otherwise, it's going to transfer to whatever other piece of paper I put it to. I'm going to show you how I put one of these together. I already have the tape on my acetate piece, same as I did for the balloons. I'm going to glue this to the back. That center is still a little bit wet so it may not want to stick to it. I like to shape my butterfly wings a little bit. I just think it makes them look a little bit prettier. I did that for all of them. And then I took some struggles. I have platinum here that I put in the centers of the butterflies because otherwise their bodies got lost. Then I added just a little bit of an opalescent one because I didn't want to hide the color that we painted it. I'm just adding it to the outside. I only did it to the outside outer edges if you wanted to do it to the entire thing, you absolutely could. There we go. And then that needs to be set aside to completely dry. And then through the magic of redoing things, I have a whole bunch already made and dry. You'll be able to see right there the difference between them when they're dry, the stick was flattens out a little bit and it just becomes really pretty and sparkly. I'll see you in the next video and we will assemble our card. 8. Box of Butterflies: Card Assembly: All right, Let's put our card pieces together. You pick out whichever one of these is your favorite to put on the front because that's the one that you see the most. Actually going to leave that cap off for a moment and then glue the rest of them on. Once again, I'm using the liquid glue for this so that I have momentum. Shimmy it in place if I don't get a place correctly the first time. One on the back. Now I kept these fairly simple and neutral. I just have flowers, silhouettes. You could go as elaborate as you want it. I didn't want to take the focus off of the butterflies because I thought they were pretty on their own and I didn't want anything to compete with it. But this is one of those things you can have fun with. This one is butterflies, but when it also be cute with little bugs, have you had someone in your life that just loves bugs? Maybe we'd get a kick out of this card. All right, same as the balloon card. I am going to be gluing all of these in place with double-sided tape. That way I don't have to wait for anything to dry. Tape on the acetate. Could often glue it into place. So altogether I have got eight butterflies. I've got three things here. So I'm gonna put three on the back and then to know, sorry, two on the back and then three in the center and then two in the front. Either way you can do it however you want. But I just want don't want to put too many of them on the back and not have any for the other layers. If you wanted, you could even do more butterflies than what we did here. You could have a ton of butterflies all completely made. Really loaded up. Some of these. I'm putting the haystack on the front, some of them I'm putting on the back, it really doesn't matter. Just make sure that you're putting your peace on the appropriate side. The glue was the tables stick to the things in the center of the card there. Well, it looks like I was wrong. I'm doing three in the front. Here we go. And just like the balloons, I try to keep from having the same colors in front of each other. Because I'd like to be able to see all those butterflies. You put all those that work into it. It's kinda nice to be able to see them all. So I tried to pay attention to what's behind it. And just put colors that are going to pop and show up a little bit. There you are. Ready to go. I do again, need to make a custom card for this, but I really like it when the bouquets pop out a little bit, so it's hard to keep it within that six inches. But that's okay. Custom cards are really quite fun and simple to make. And I'll show you in the next video. 9. Creating a Custom Envelope: Creating a custom envelope for your cards if you have a non traditional sized cards is really quite simple. I wouldn't do it for traditional sized cards because you can easily find the envelope sizes for that. And likely there are a lot cheaper than making them yourself because you're making it with card stock and cars start tend to be a little bit more expensive. But this is great. When you just can't find an envelope that's the right size, what you're gonna do is you're going to flatten your card and you're going to measure how big it is. The base of this is 5.5, but because I have a daisy sticking out, six, Bye. Six is going to be the right size for this card. It's got a chart radon here. So for a six by six card, I need to cut a piece of card stock 9.5 by 9.5. Pull my tumor out and doing that. And I'm just using a white piece of card stock for this. You could easily use a printed piece. You really find if you've had some printed Daisy card stock for this particular one just because it's daisy or have one that matches whatever theme of the card that you've created. It says 9.5 by 9.5. And my first score line is going to be on four and three-quarters. There's a lot. There's a ruler right here. I'm gonna put it on the foreign three-quarter mark, punch it, and then I'm going to score it. I find it easier to score from the center and it's easier to stay on the channel when you're in the middle here and going out. Sometimes it's hard to feel where that channel is. When you can see this, it's easier to go here and do it in. After that, we're going to match that little tab there with our line. And because we're doing a square envelope, it's going to end up being on the foreign three-quarter mark still. They all are. When you're doing rectangle envelopes, they're not going to be. But if you're doing squares as a great way to know that you're keeping everything completely straight. Before we put it together on this side, we can round those corners there though I did go in quite as much as I would like it. Round those corners in folder pieces up. There we go. And then I just use the same double-sided tape that we've been using throughout the class. This one is actually quarter of an inch. I want to make sure that it doesn't tape, doesn't get exposed and the inside of the envelope and probably the other one, it wouldn't. But the quarter-inch is enough to hold it all in place. And the wider one is just a little bit more expensive. So this is enough. Mice will do that. There we go. We can put our card in there. I'm leaving that Daisy part up because I don't want to push it onto the bottom of my and blue. Then we can fold that down and glue that in if we want. I'm not gonna do that because I haven't addressed the car to anyone. But there we go. A custom envelope for our card. And this little tool here stores rate in there, so I never lose it. But perfect and super-simple to make a custom envelope for whatever size you need. So if yours stuck out a little bit more, you might need to make an envelope that's a little bit more totally doable. 10.
