"IN POP" Card As I demo'ed on Make the cut webinar 26/27 Nov 2013

In the Make The Cut Webinar today 

I demoed how to make this 

"INPOP Card"

if you have Make the cut and would like the basic MTC file 

it is HERE

Designed and cut with MAKE the CUT

The card folds flat for putting in envelope

 But when the card is open on display it  becomes 

a 3D pop card (in pop  )

 When you open the make the cut file you will find 

the bottom 6 layers   are  the main base of the card 

one score and one cut  for each three layers 

(NOTE I have solid likes  for the score lines that is 

because i use a scoring tool in my Zing you will have 

to change the lines if you want dashes)

 With these three pieces you fold as shown

 Then you put it on the table like this

 Add glue on all three 1/2" tabs as shown

You then glue  to the tabs as shown 

 one then the next

 And lastly fold the last one in so it glues to the insde 

of the back of the card

Here is what you have now  (wait till glue is dry)

 When you close your card here is what you see so far

 Now yo have the two tabs showing on the in pop

This is how it looks  from the top of the card

 Put glue on the last square

 And put it in the in pop to cover the tabs

 Now your card is ready for decorating

 how ever you like  ( I have added two frames and 

a in pop background)

 here is what they are

 Glue the frames together

 Then glue for front of the card

 Frames it well and add the background in the

center

Now if you want to  add another demention

you can make a tab to fit on half way 

(see webinar for instructions for this 

as it is not my picture so I could not include 

in the MTC file)

 So this now sits half way from back and front

 like this

 Top view

 front view

 And still folds flat

 I then while it was flat added the words so as it 

looks good while it is being taken out of envelope 

and when open the top word (merry will be off center 

but still looks good )

 If I had of put the MERRY in the center while it was opened

when it was closed the Y would be not in show.

(but you can put the wording where you feel is better )

 Enjoy will love to see what you make  from this idea

 Don't forget to watch the WEBINAR 

to see how  to make patterns like this

M-Bossabilities Embossing folder in EBosser tip

When I got the E Bosser I was hoping that I would never

have to get out the other embossing machines again .

But there was No sandwich for the 

M-Bossabilities embossing folder from spellbinders.

SO I was not going to let that hold me back I measured

a normal sandwich that goes through the ebosser and 

worked out that with an extra C PLATE (sold seperately ) 

 I could  do it and I was right it works soo nice a nice 

crisp emboss 

 Here is the plate order (sandwich)

 For those of you that have not seen the M-Bossablities 

they are two sided embossing folders and wonderful too

Clear ornament

Yesterday I showed an ornament that I 

made for the alota challenge . Today I am here

to show how i got it made.

A while back I showed a fantastic extension that i found

for inkscape to make tabbed boxes HERE.

Well it started me thinking maybe i can make 

the boxes the same way but with card stock (but 

I would have to do some tweaking )

then I made this white boxes 

All put together with NO GLUE 

hmm got me thinking  NO GLUING  that is 

perfect for clear acetate as  that is not an easy 

thing to glue. 

So with that same pattern that I had tweaked 

(adding the extra little part on each tab so that they 

lock together and not pull apart easily)

I cut it out of clear over heat projector plastic 

and then put it together  (little testing being clear but 

I did it  ) designed in inkscape and Designed in MAKE THE CUT to tweak

and cut on the ZING. Added white paint pent for the snow.

Repeat pattern Sizzix embossing folders

I have lots and lots of embossing folders , all brands 

and I am here today to show  how to put the sizzix brands 

side  by side to get them to look soo neat after going 

through the Ebosser.

In this picture I show the sizzix and a darice 

folder .

The Sizzix one has  a cut out on one of the sides 

where the embossing ends . The other does not .

You can see it bettter in this one

We will put the darice one aside and use that

in another demo (when a package arrives)

With the sizzix one you can get a continuous embossing

just cut card to size and first run through the ebosser

as normal

Then you move it along till it lines up with the last

emboss you did the good thing is that cut out  

allows you to get close to repeat the pattern without 

a flat line appearing after embossed

Put through you ebosser as normal with normal 

sandwich. and the result will be you do not know  

where you joined them

(NOTE the real early sizzix ones do not have this cut out)
