Platform POP UP card as demoed on 4th/5th December 2012 MTC Webinar

Yesterday I demoed this Platform Pop UP card 

in the make the cut webinar  4/5 December 2012

I showed that if the words you want a little at 

the top down to biggest at bottom  you can 

make them all on platforms to pop up 

when the card is opened at 90*.

If you would like the pattern with 

MERRY CHRISTMAS just on the two 

platforms  HERE IT IS (no exsample yet)
Designed in MAKE THE CUT
For a special request from two ladies named Susan
HERE IS THE "From Susan"  

I used the  a font that i used make the cut to 

turn into a cut file and cut on the ZING

Used the Ebosser to emboss the background

Then when it came time to send my Christmas cards

this year My husband and sons name were not on the 

card so i cut them out of the background card and glued on

Be sure to check the WEBINAR out when

it is posted in a few days   to see how to 

make your own personlized pop up platform cards

Or a 

Zing then SKAT KATZ is the place to find them

Paper Crafting for so many years, like I have been It is so good when l see card styles that I used to make back in the early days come back into fashion. If sometimes in an up to date look. This Card is one of those cards back then there was no way of me able to give them such a fancy border.  Now with the zing and FONTS HERE, HERE and HERE (3 sets) I made many years back I was able to design this card in Make the Cut and cut on the zing.

On the front of the card I used 3 roses also cut the zing and made using, LESSON HERE.

(which I also use my tiles to print on the Roses before cutting)

 if you would like to see other ideas using the edges font HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE,  

And there would be lots of other ways to use them.

 Enjoy playing with fonts and let me know what you think.

PART TWO SusanBlueRoBot Sliceform Display Card (as seen on 7th Aug 2012 Webinar)

Let me first start by saying PLEASE don't let the amount 

of photos in this post put you off making it I have done that 

many photos so as not to miss a step BUT if you were at the 

webinar you will know that it takes less than 1/2 hour to make 

once you get the hang of it. And will be once the WEBINAR is

post to watch that as well.

PART TWO  

how to make your OWN Sliceform Display card

(click on photos to make them bigger)

LET's BEGIN

 First off we need a 5" square . I put mine at 

X 6.5 and Y 0.5  that way i can use the grids on my 

mat to my advantage later

Now COPY

And EDIT Paste in PLACE twice so you end up with 3

square the same size

Then to make it easy I do a right click on the layer name 

and go TO EACH IT's OWN

I then bring in the wording I want 

(I used YIKES from dafont.com for this )

with the words selected i right click and go to 

SHAPE MAGIC

Then SHADOW LAYER

Found a shadow size that looked good 0.1225

and APPLY BLACKOUT to get rid of any 

stray parts like at the R and T

With both lettering and shadow selected to now put over 

the top of our squares

This is where the grids on the mats are handy you resize

your wording so that they inside the .5" grid on each 

side and make it tall enough on the card to suit

Now select one of the squares and pull the top middle arrow

downwards till it is about half way between the TO YOU Shadow

Now select one of the squares and pull the top middle arrow

downwards till it is about half way between the BIRTHDAY Shadow

Now select  the last square and pull the top middle arrow

downwards till it is about half way between the HAPPY Shadow

Select only the Shadow layer and do a split

Now select the TO and the YOU and the Small square 

(holding down shift key while selecting them )

With all 3 selected do a WELD

Select the Birthday shadow and holding down the shift key

select the middle square

And do a WELD

Select the Happy shadow and holding down the shift 

key select the big square

And do a WELD and right clicker on the layer name 

do a TO EACH ITS OWN

Now you need to bring in a square(rectangle) I make this about

0.05 wide

With that selected do a COPY

And PASTE IN PLACE

You take that pasted one and move to the 1/2" grid line on the left

side of the card and have it so it is a 1/4" up from the bottom.

With that selected do a COPY and PASTE IN PLACE

That new one holding down the control key on keyboard

use your up arrow keys and move it up so that the bottom of it 

is over the smallest card piece by 1/4"

In this order 

Select both of them. Do COPY , then JOIN, then

put on own LAYER   and close the eye of that one and go back

to the layer in which you are working on originally

Now go PASTE IN PLACE and deselect then just select the top

on and using the control key and the Arrow keys on your keyboard

move it up till it is 1/4 down from the side of the birthday part of the card

In this order 

Select both of them. Do COPY , then JOIN, then

put on own LAYER   and close the eye of that one and go back

to the layer in which you are working on originally

Now go PASTE IN PLACE and deselect then just select the top

on and using the control key and the Arrow keys on your keyboard

move it up till it is 1/4 down from the side of the Happy part of the card.

then select both them and do a JOIN

Turn back on the other two layers you turned the eye off

and select all of them on that side of the card and do a 

COPY

NOW select all of them and the three card bases and to a 

MIRROR (yes the wording is back the front DON't PANIC)

Now a PASTE IN PLACE

You now have the little parts on both sides

Select everything on that side and do a mirror 

this will bring your wording the right way and you

now have the parts for making the slits evenly on both sides

Here is now I like to make sure everything is on its own

layer and I turn of all the eyes

Selecting the three pieces for each layer  the wording 

shadow and the two lots of rectangles on the sides  that 

match. select both the rectangles and do a join .

Then select all and do a BOOLEAN JOIN and pick

B to A so it looks like this (note i have had times when 

A to B was needed don't know why)

Click APPLY and you have this now you can turn that one off

Selecting the next three pieces for each layer  the wording 

shadow and the two lots of rectangles on the sides  that 

match. select both the rectangles and do a join .

Then select all and do a BOOLEAN JOIN and pick

B to A so it looks like this. Click APPLY and then turn that one

off

Selecting the last three pieces for each layer  the wording 

shadow and the two lots of rectangles on the sides  that 

match. select both the rectangles and do a join .

Then select all and do a BOOLEAN JOIN and pick

B to A so it looks like this. Oh and now i made them 

each a seperate colour and made them in order of 

layers from Happy on bottom to To You on top

so it is easier to see

Now you need on a NEW LAYER a rectangle the same 

height as the side of your back shadow and 0.5" wide

lined up with the bottom of the card.

With this selected COPY and PASTE IN PLACE twice so 

you end up with three

You then move the middle top arrow of one of them

so as it is the height of the to you layer

And the other down till it is the height of the birthday 

layer

The tallest one you now make that 1" wide

Using the arrow keys you now line all them up 

so they are side by side making the two littler

ones wider now so they over lap.

Select all three

And do a weld

Using the arrow keys line this up so the side of the first step

lines up with the slits of the cards (click on this picture to see better)

the rectangle you have to the side do a copy and paste in 

place and now move it over to the slits 

and having it slightly lower than the top of the layer slit

Then using the arrow key to adjust the height down 

till it is just above the bottom of the top slit

NOW do a COPY while that rectangle is selected

Select both that rectangle and the side step card 

and do a JOIN

Then move the side step card over so the Birthday layer slits are 

alined up like this

Now do a PASTE IN PLACE and adjust the height  of 

that with the red arrows so it is just above the bottom 

of the top slit (click on picture to get better look)

NOW do a COPY

Select both that rectangle and the side step and do a JOIN

Now you line the biggest step up so it is half way between the 

happy shadow layer

Do a PASTE IN PLACE and then use red arrows to

adjust the height

Select that and the step card and do JOIN now move 

to the side where you can work on it

Now to make this all easy to put together after cutting 

what we do is make a retangle between the slits 

still leaving enough slits on the middle layer. Like this

And one like this between the next two like this

Select all of them and BREAK APART

Then select all 5 middle pieces and do a WELD

Then select them two and do a JOIN

We need two of them  COPY , PASTE IN PLACE

and MIRROR. Finished now  

You now arrange them on your mat how you would 

like them

Here is the finished card Instructions on how to put 

together is in PART ONE HERE

Folds Flat for posting

It does not end there!! 

NOW it does get addictive once you have 

made one  you will have the idea and you don't just need

to stick to words I use stamps (ALOTA rubberstamps) and

paper piecing as well

Be creative and you will have lots of WOW cards

Enjoy yourself don't be afraid .

Also you don't need to stick to just 3 layers 

some of mine are 5 layers it is up too you and you can 

also have them more or less than 0.5" apart depends 

oh how you want it to look

Please let me known what you think.

 Enjoy
