hi everyone an kler here with a new
0:11
video tutorial and today I'm going to
0:13
show you how to make a really fun popup
0:16
Cube card you have all the
0:18
measurements and The Cutting guide in
0:21
the description under the video this
0:23
card is really cool and easy to make
0:30
so I'm using my turmer in a bone folder
0:33
but you can use a scoreboard
0:35
instead to score our three strips of
0:39
paper that we will need to make our 3D
0:42
popup
0:44
Cube so we're going to start scoring
0:48
our strips of card stock this is solid
0:52
color card
0:53
stock and we're going to score it at 1
0:57
and 3/4 3 3 and 1/2 5 and 1/4 and seven
1:04
we're going to score all three card
1:07
stock strips exactly the same
1:10
way and again like I said I'm using my
1:13
trimmer and bone folder but you can use
1:16
a scoreboard instead if you don't have a
1:18
scoreboard you can just measure it and
1:22
work on a soft surface and use a ruler
1:25
in a bone folder to score your
1:28
strips so again 1 and 3/4 3 and 1/2 5
1:34
and 1/4 and 7 what we're doing is
1:37
basically scoring our card stock strips
1:40
to
1:42
make the cubes we need three cubes to
1:46
make our popup element standing in the
1:50
center of the
1:52
card so let's finish with the
1:57
scoring this is actually a really easy
2:00
card to
2:03
make but it has a really fun and great
2:07
effect and it's really good for
2:10
basically any occasion holiday or event
2:13
that you can think of all depends on the
2:16
colors that you use the pattern papers
2:18
and the sentiment that you
2:21
add once you finish
2:24
scoring fold on all the score lines and
2:28
burnish them really well with your bone
2:30
folder we need everything to be really
2:34
accurate for the popup to
2:38
work so just make sure
2:43
you burnish everything
2:47
completely all the score
2:51
lines and then I'll show you how
2:54
to glue everything together
3:01
okay and the last strip of
3:04
paper and it doesn't really matter to
3:07
what direction you fold your
3:11
paper I know some people are really
3:14
strickler about this things but no you
3:17
can just fold it in any
3:21
direction okay next we're going to close
3:25
each of our paper strips you see that
3:28
you have
3:30
four identical size squares and
3:34
one square it's actually a rectangle
3:37
which is slightly smaller so this is
3:39
going to be the tab that we apply the
3:41
glue
3:42
on and attach under the first
3:47
Square this will make a cube and we're
3:51
going to repeat that on the
3:54
other strips as well so always apply
3:58
your glue to the smallest
4:01
Tab and then attach it
4:04
underneath the first rectangle or square
4:08
on the other side of a strip and this
4:11
will give you a
4:13
cube I like to use liquid glue because
4:16
it allows me to wiggle the paper to
4:19
position and really align everything and
4:22
make sure everything is
4:25
accurate but if you like using dry glue
4:28
like a double-sided tape instead that's
4:31
completely up to you you can do that so
4:34
now we're going to attach the two
4:36
smaller cubes to the larger Cube we're
4:40
going to put one Cube on each side like
4:44
this and then this will be our Cube
4:48
popup so apply glue to the smaller
4:54
Cube preferably the side that you don't
4:57
want to be in the front the side that
5:00
you attached the cube to begin
5:03
with and then attach it to the bottom
5:06
right
5:08
side of the tall Cube and of
5:12
course you can flatten the cube it will
5:15
be easier to attach the smaller Cube
5:17
these this
5:19
way then you do the exact same thing
5:22
with the other
5:25
Cube however I got confused with the
5:28
directions sorry about
5:31
that the opening of the cube needs not
5:34
to be on the top but on the side like
5:38
this so you
5:40
attach the cubes the smaller cubes while
5:43
the top is
5:45
flat and the hole faces the
5:49
side like this this is the right way
5:52
sorry about that you
5:56
guys so just let me make sure that it's
5:59
it's glued properly I want to add a
6:01
little bit of
6:03
glue and then attach it the right way so
6:07
you see
6:08
that the opening faces the sides so I'm
6:13
flattening everything making sure it's
6:16
all
6:17
aligned and this is how our popup will
6:21
look this is the
6:24
way next we can go ahead and start
6:27
covering our popup with the
6:30
pattern papers that we pre-cut in
6:34
advance and you can use
6:37
any type of pattern here whatever fits
6:42
your
6:43
theme you can mix and match patterns and
6:47
colors you can leave it blank you can do
6:51
whatever you want at this stage to make
6:54
the card exactly the way you want it to
6:56
look and fit the person that's going to
6:59
to receive it as well as the event or
7:02
occasion that you're making it
7:07
for the papers are less important what's
7:10
more important is the technique
7:13
so whatever papers you have in your
7:16
stash you can use them I'm using
7:19
a pattern paper that is designed by a
7:23
friend of
7:25
mine
7:26
and I've listed in the supply list just
7:30
a paper collection that is really
7:33
similar so you can use that or
7:36
whatever you have in your stash and you
7:38
want to use you see that for the cover
7:40
papers we don't need a lot of
7:44
paper so it's a really good opportunity
7:47
to use any scraps that you have or
7:49
smaller pieces that you have that you
7:52
want to use so I have covered the front
7:55
of the
7:57
card it's really easy to work with you
7:59
flatten
8:00
everything and I also want
8:03
to cover the inside of the smaller
8:08
cubes so their inside is their backside
8:14
here it's going to be visible so I want
8:16
to cover that as
8:19
well so I'm just inserting that and
8:23
again I'm using liquid glue so I can
8:24
wiggle everything to position and make
8:26
sure it's aligned and that it's straight
8:29
[Music]
8:32
great okay so now it's covered if you
8:35
want you can also cover the inside of
8:37
the taller Cube but I'm going to leave
8:40
it like that I like the
8:42
teal color but that's up to you you can
8:46
do that if you want it's the same size
8:48
of pattern paper so this is our Cube
8:51
this is going to be the popup element
8:54
that is going to pop up when we open the
8:57
card next we're going to take our c card
8:59
base fold it in
9:03
half and then burnish well the
9:07
fold I'm using this is not double-sided
9:10
card stock as you can see so I want to
9:12
cover the inside as well I gave you the
9:15
measurements but if you're using a
9:18
double-sided card stock that you then
9:20
you won't have to cover the inside you
9:23
can leave it uncovered that's again up
9:26
to you how you want to
9:30
design the
9:31
card so I'm just covering the two sides
9:35
of the card on the
9:39
inside with my cover
9:42
papers again using liquid glue so I can
9:45
align everything and make sure it's
9:48
completely
9:52
straight and then I'll show you how to
9:55
attach the popup
9:57
Cube to the the card and then our card
10:01
will be
10:02
ready okay so what we're going to do is
10:07
start this is how it's going to go like
10:09
this aligned in the
10:12
center we're going to start with
10:14
applying glue to the
10:16
bottom of the right smaller
10:20
Cube again you liquid glue it's the
10:23
best I think and then we're going to
10:27
attach it to the center of the card card
10:30
aligning it with
10:32
the center score line and the top of the
10:38
card so you need all the cubes to be
10:40
open like this and you need the corners
10:44
of the center taller Cube to align
10:47
perfectly with the center of the card
10:49
with the score line so just wiggle it
10:52
into position until you are completely
10:54
sure it's aligned like
10:57
this and then
11:00
fold the top
11:02
Cube
11:04
to the bottom like
11:07
this and then move everything to the
11:11
side like this I'm going to show you
11:13
again how to fold
11:16
it the top Cube goes to the bottom and
11:20
then everything folds to the right like
11:23
this and then you apply glue to this
11:27
part here which is the bottom of of the
11:29
left smaller
11:33
Cube and then what you simply need is to
11:36
close the card let it
11:39
dry and then open the card and see the
11:42
magic of
11:43
your popup
11:46
