No Dies Needed | Tiered Stadium Pop Up Box Card

hey everyone it's Sam here and today I'm going to show you how to make this lovely card which as you can see folds completely flat but when you move it to the side you have this lovely little popup so it's like a little tear box popup Stadium kind of thing I've done quite a few before I will add a playlist in the video really easy you don't need any dieses to make this one and I've used it with some very fun little characters which some of you may recognize so let me show you more and how to make the card so I've already started cutting into this one cuz I just wanted to measure up for my mattes and layers so you want to cut yourself this is a piece of 10 by six and this is the 300 GSM craft Das smooth card stock along the long side you're going to score at half an inch 2 and 1/2 7 and 1/2 and at 9 and 1/2 so then rotate it this way so you've got your 1/ in tab along the top and just score It 2 in just to the first score line and then just flip it over and 2 Ines to the first score line ignore my other lines there that was because I was planning to do a different style if you just fold and burnish all of those score lines okay and then if you cut down to that first score line and then you want to cut all the way up to the top top you're going up to that top corner of the middle large section if you want to draw a pencil line across there in case you're a bit you know worried you might not get it straight I could have probably gone in there a little bit better there we go and do that on both sides so you've got something now that looks like this I've then cut this piece which is 5X 2 and that will go along the very front and I've stamped my sentiment I want to keep this really clean just the white I'm not doing mattes and layers but if you want you can obviously you know add those but that will go onto the front you can see how we've got this style card coming together now before I start adding all the internal parts I want to add the pattern paper so I've got this piece here and this is from my new animal Madness paper pad you got your crocodile skin there you've got fur you've got the beautiful floral print I love that one youve got your peacock feathers you've got the leaves and then you've got the zebra print there as well if you like to do my handbag style 3D projects then some of the mock Croc and the animal prints will look really good on the bag Styles there and also for clothing as well if you got people that love animal print and that kind of thing it will work for that as well so it's a really nice pad and you'll see this on quite a few projects that I'll be sharing so I've cut this piece for the middle this is just under five it's four and 7/8 by 5 and 78 I just wanted quite a thin border there so it does fill pretty much all the back and then I've started to cut these ones here which are going to go on the insides and also on the outsides I would definitely do the outside the inside's optional but I do think it looks quite nice then you know from all angles so cut yourself two to four pieces of 1 and 3/4 by 5 and 1/2 and so you're going to come up um what have we got here 1 and 7/8 and just put a little pencil mark and then cut across once you've done one then you can use that as your template so now I need one for that side so I'm going to put pattern to pattern and you could draw a pencil Mark if you want but I'm just going to cut straight in and now I've got one for this side and one for that side and then if I flip it over take one of these again and now I want one that's that orientation put that one there and then I just need to do another one and that one back under there so I'm going to get all of the pattern paper stuck down okay so I'm happy with that part next we can add the supports and all like the kind of tear really so it's up to you what height you want these you want to make sure that they're all 6 in wide cuz that way way that it will fit inside but in terms of the height of them and how many you have well you've got 2 in here so you can have one two you can have three I'm only going to have two I've cut these two here as an example because not everybody will have I'm going to be using if I just bring all this in here my grass Edge dye okay some of you might not have dyes um you might not have any edges so to get a similar look you want to cut a piece of 6x3 and a piece of 6 by 2 and 1/2 and along the 6 in side on both pieces you want to score at half an inch and 5 and 1/2 you'll stick these in exactly how I'm going to show you with these pieces in a moment but if you want to just have just straight so one there and then that one will go in from then you can build up everything on top if you want to add another one then and you want to maybe keep it quite uniform then just increase the next one by half an inch if you wanted more then drop your half inch tab down to do quarter of an in in all right so it's easy to play around with and adapt for you know whatever you're using I'm going to use this I'm making a conscious effort to use this wonderful card cuz I have tons of it and I mean hundreds of sheets because I was sent the whole collection from Craft stash of all of their lovely pearlescent card stock and it's it's so nice and it's in all different colors so I thought I've already started using the black which I used on a card recently during a Facebook live this is the Christmas green GRE you get 25 sheets and it's 310 GSM so you can use it for your card blanks so I'm definitely I've got it all organized now it's just to the left of me so it's easy for me to use and remind myself so you can see that lovely green one here and I just think it complement the pattern paper perfectly so again I've got two pieces here scored at half an inch and 5 and 1 half along the 6 in side and then using my Edge I'm going to cut this across so it's the same kind of height as these original ones cuz I did like the height of these so I'm going to lay my grass just down there and then I'll do the same with that one I'm going to cut those out and then I've just got this fun Edge to my tears so that when I go to add my characters they've already got the detail of the grass in front of them and I just think it ties especially for this theme it just ties all together really nicely so from those two pieces I was actually able to get three pieces so I've just cut an extra taller one you can see that I've just got them nicely staggered and then cuz this is double sided D so you can use both parts this one here rather than waste it what I'm going to do is actually just have it just coming up behind the front one so that one will be like so I'm just going to just trim off the little Edge part here just tidy it up if it's gone over and just fold it over just tidy up all of those okay so now starting with the tallest one take my quick grab glue just want to run the glue down each of the side pieces and then I'm going to butt this one cuz it's the one at the back I'm going to butt it right up to that score line there keep it flush with the bottom of the card and fold that one over what we do is we'll just focus on this left side so I know the glue is there it it may still be wet by the time I get to it but I can always just go over it then take the next one so just again add your glue we just do it to the left side and just be careful if you've added glue like mine you're going to lay this one on top so now you're going to treat this kind of corner like that corner so just butt it up again keeping it flush with the bottom of the card and fold it over and now when you bring it back they should sit perfectly next to each other like so and then the last one and bring it up just lay that down just make sure that's all dry before you go to the next side carefully bring it all over and then this side should now lay nicely next to each other so I'm just going to add the glue to each one that one's fine actually and now all you need to do is just fold that side over by doing it this way you're guaranteed the card's going to go flat in your envelope because sometimes when you make these kind of cards if you do it all kind of when it's upright and each one at a time when you go to fold it flat nine times out of 10 it doesn't go completely flat it might be slightly buckled but by doing it this way you can see definitely going to lay flat this is a great Stadium style card as well so maybe if you're doing like a football theme you can have you know or a concert you can have all tears of like people or it could be like a a school play or something it's a nice fun style and now bring that all up and we've got our tears there to be able to add all the animals so now all I need to do is add this one so you just add your glue to those two tabs and stick that in front because I've got this effect so I'm just going to snip that off and just add some glue and just stick that behind Okay so that's where I am now so next I can start to decorate so these are some of the wonderful very cute images from my my animal Madness ephemera pack and I'm just going to load this card up with all of the images of the characters and the Le leaves and yeah I'm just going to go over the top with it but you can see just by adding you know just one animal for example looks wonderful and just some flowers and leaves around so it's entirely up to you how you want to decorate this but I'm going to fill this one and there's the finished card see it all goes full out both ways as well which is nice um actually I don't know what that size is an envelope seven 7 by six so you can make that with your envelope punch board I've Al got a DIY envelope playlist I'll have that linked up here so you can head over there as well I'd probably just pop that into a 7x seven shop brought one as well and then you've got all your space on the back to write your message so just cut another matte layer the size of that pattern paper if you want to do like a border and you can write your message so thank you for watching today all of the product that I've used will be linked in the
