"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

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

Bauble Box in MAKE THE CUT

Yesterday there was a request for this bauble box pattern 

in make the cut over on the forum and I thought it would be a fun

thing for me to make so here is mine 

PATTERN HERE

and here is me putting it together so you get a better 

idea of what the pattern has

Designed in MAKE THE CUT

Keep the base parts seperate so you know to put them

on the base

I ran my layer pieces through the Ebosser 

Here all the layers are put on

This is what the base and top looks like when made

Ebosser and Vellum how too

One of the good tests  for a machine is Vellum.

and for the Ebosser  that is one thing I wanted to 

try and here is what i learnt. 

It is a very crisp embosser and a little too crisp

for vellum as it cracks the vellum . 

(see one on left ) But add a piece of 

bassel card stock in the embosssing folder with your

vellum and they emboss together and the result 

is VERY good (see middle one)

 

This one is cracked and very yukky looking

 (no cardstock in while embossing)

While this one looks great 

(cardstock in while embossing)

pitty that the camera can not show what i mean good

Here is the sandwich I used
