Shutter Fold Card • Simplified Version Peekaboo Card

[@Arlene_P]

I really like how you do your video's. The correct information without an overload of information. I have watched over time many shutter card videos. Your video is my favorite. I always had a little space there between the shutters. How you did it made so much sense. Thanks for all your videos. Please keep making them. They are very much enjoyed and appreciated.

[@MixedUpCraft]

Glad you like them. Thank you for your lovely comments 😊

[@juliekoester7776]

Well you’ve done it again Sam! You’ve made an incredible card and made it simple without specialty dies! Fantastic! AND you’ve made the cards beautiful! Bravo Sam. Bravo!!!!!! 👏 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Thanks again I truly appreciate you for sharing your knowledge and teaching us how to make this amazing card. ♥️

[@vikkiprendergast2609]

Absolutely stunning cards. My favourite Sam. Just wish I could colour like you xx

[@cynthiasalazar9779]

I’ve seen several shutter fold cards and yours is the best!

[@karenreeves3958]

Thanks for showing how to do the mechanism for the aperture. This makes it so easy to do.

[@poetspice]

Love it! Just saved me money on buying a smaller, expensive die!

[@ruthoie7626]

This looked difficult but I went straight to my desk to give it a try since I needed a card today for my grandson's birthday and had been trying to think of something unique. I made one with a hunting theme since that is where his interest lies. It turned out great and I put Happy 18th in the shutter opening. My husband thought it was amazing until he opened it and reminded me that our grandson turned 17 today not 18. Guess I am ready for next year! As usual wonderful easy to understand directions. Thanks Sam.

[@MixedUpCraft]

Oh Ruth, I think many of us can relate to doing that, so many times I've stamped something wrong. 😮

[@arnelakawhitewash]

You are always my go-to hero with card making. Loads of great ideas. Thanks for sharing!!!

[@nancyludlum2646]

TFS! Neat idea. It looks a lot more complicated than it actually is.

[@JensJewellery]

Just watched yesterday I think it may have been lawn fawn have a die for this shutter type card. And I was like hmmm should be easy enough to make your own without the die and BAM Sam to the rescue again. Cute card

[@MixedUpCraft]

If I can find a way to make it with out a die I will, I would rather save my money for other crafty things. 😀

[@KarenAicken]

I had watched a couple of Shutter Card tutorials and was getting more and more confused. Your video was EXACTLY what I was looking for - thank you for such a clear tutorial. My first Shutter Card will be posted here on KZbin on October 7/2020 and I will be linking your video as well as linking it on my coordinating Blog Post. Cheers!

[@ernestcaterwaul4235]

Thank you so much for this lovely tutorial. I first saw one made by someone else, but she used a specialty die set which I do not own. I am very appreciative that you show how to make this without the specialty die set! You always have the most clever and fun ideas! And thank you for explaining everything so clearly.

[@Pointatinfinity]

Hi Sam! I saw a bunch of shutter card tutorials in the past and made a bunch of this cards, but always with a little bit of aversion, because they don't turn out so perfect as I expected! Your tutorial was so elucidating!!! My Gate fold shutter cards are now P E R F E C T 😍😍😍 !!!!!!! Thanks a lot, Gabriela

[@MixedUpCraft]

Your very welcome and thank you for your kind words, I'm so pleased you enjoyed my tutorial 😀

[@WAlycia]

Thank you so much for simplifying this card. After watching someone’s tutorial for an hour I was so confused I reached out to a fellow crafter who told me about you. I’ve subscribed!

[@aliciaybarra80]

Thanks for great instrucrions for this card!! I have tried this card with different instructions, and they have never worked!!! This time it did!! And I also love the sound. Thanks again

[@cecilecoonrod4146]

Thank you so much for showing us how to do a really cute interactive card without having to buy expensive dies!

[@virginiaellison8227]

I love your cards Sam.... going to make one of these for a friend of mine.... thank you so much for your inspiration....

[@wendydennis-gordon8358]

Thank you Sam. My kids teachers will be happy with the cards inspired by you. you are Amazing!

[@karenreeves5801]

Just found this tutorial. Love the way you did the shutter mechanism. Thanks for all the tips.

[@sheilaccarr]

Love the 5x7 size. Great tutorial. I just love following you. Your instructions and measurements are so precise. You make it very easy for me to follow. Thanks and keep posting please ☺

[@roselaurapereiramalone9016]

Oh you have out done your self again! Absolutely beautiful!

[@AmandaBrooks-o6o]

A much better size! THANK YOU!!

[@created2bless322]

Thank you Sam! You have a wonderful way of making these type of cards make sense and look easy! So cute the way it all came together!

[@minlappin]

Just love your ideas. Thank you

[@connieowens2982]

Excellent design!

[@MsBene59]

Yet another beauty :-) I know you do a lot of fussy cutting could you make a small video showing how you get your pieces so "clean"? I've been trying and trying but just can't get them as clean around the edges as you do !

[@MiniReggi]

wonderful card and technique

[@carolekinsey7835]

I've noticed that there's a few of the crafting card community, that follow in making the same cards. Is this because your all employed by a certain company, who give you instructions about which cards they want shown? I'm not being facetious, I'm genuinely interested Sam. Of course this is a great card to make and I thank you for your inspiring tutorials. I might add, yours are my favourites. 😊 Clear and easy instructions and beautiful papers. Very enjoyable. X

[@MixedUpCraft]

Hi Carole, there are hundreds of card making KZbin channels. I don't work for any company apart from myself and make what ever I want. I know some You Tubers have restrictions or are directed on what to make. I also have other You Tubers who make some of my projects and I, there's, that's how it all goes really, sometimes a card style comes back into fashion and everyone is doing it. Hope that helps a little. Glad you enjoyed the card! 😁

[@carolekinsey7835]

Mixed Up Craft, thank you very much for your reply Sam. Your the only one who's actually answered that question😊 Still recon that independent is the way to go. Much more freedom and individuality found there. In my humble opinion. 😂What ever that's worth eh. I have made lots of cards in the past (for ever and now they are expected. I've made a rod for my own back😂) I now look out for your card tutorials as guidance for new ideas. I do however do a bit of mixing up myself, but I always credit you, if I've used your idea. Word of mouth is a very powerful tool. Best wishes. Carole. X

[@ASoulsHeartbeat]

Fantastic tutorial. Your ink blending and coloring is super! Can’t wait to give this a try. Patti

[@debraw.6585]

Interesting how you used a fold on the top and bottom of centerpiece thus avoiding the use of dimensionals.

[@romainestout4131]

Great card. I love the way it opens to let you see the message. Wonderful idea. Thanks

[@susantanguy7598]

I was looking for a design to use with the saying, "Peek-a-Boo" for a new baby card. I think this will be perfect! Just trying to decide exactly what characters to use and where to put "Peek-a-Boo"? The inside sentiment will be, "Welcome, Little One". I've been asked to make it for my friend's expected grandson, baby shower. She offered to pay me so I want to make it really nice. Thank you, can't wait to try this.

[@marshaknatcal104]

Love these cards! I have made many shutter cards and they can be a bit tricky. However, I was happy to pick up a couple of great tips that will relieve some of my frustration in making these. Thanks for a great tutorial!

[@cardsbydannii]

Simply brilliant Sam! Thank you so much showing us the technique of a Shutter Fold Card! I struggle with inches (I have grown up in Germany with cm and mm) but I certainly will give it a try. Both cards are beautiful and the recipient will be lucky to receive such a stunning card....wish it would be me.

[@sharonpimento3257]

I need to make a 40yr old card this looks easy enough for even me tyvm luv ; )

[@joyannbutcher3786]

Wonderful cards! The blended backgrounds are so vibrant. Another great idea for cards.

[@pammckenzie9738]

love these, such vibrant colours, thank you Sam for giving such great ideas.

[@leannemitchem8865]

Those cards are absolutely awesome! I love the blending you did on them. Your instructions are very clear and easy to follow. Thank you for sharing.

[@nancykerswill7190]

Pretty cards there, Sam ! So novel, great colours too. Great idea there, thanks for sharing.

[@gigirivers1447]

Wonderful tutorial. And omygoodness the cutest stamps. I've never been much for stamps and coloring but I want to now!!

[@angel_on_the_edge8084]

Awesome!! Fantastic twist on the regular shutter card. I love shutter cards in general as there is so much scope for decorating, and it's got an instant wow factor. Don't know if I'm brave enough to try this one yet though!!!!

[@lindarawlinson4153]

Great card and love your colouring, now if only I I was that clever. X

[@druzpet]

I LOVE this card. You always make it look so easy. Thank you. I will have to make this today!

[@kareneverman3603]

Wonderful card and great tips for making this card. Thank you so much for this one.

[@crystalcheatham1]

I made one today thanks to your tutorial and it was so fun to make!! I also like the sound of the shutters opening 😁

[@lindadavies6464]

How clever is that! must admit you make it look easier than I'm going to make it.🤪

[@MixedUpCraft]

Take your time, and don't rush it, I'm confident yours will turn out lovely :)

[@juliedawson4577]

Such a fab tutorial! Gorgeous Sam x

[@charlotteprice3035]

i made one of these a few months ago and it was so tricky as the video i saw had no voice over and it was in cm. I did it but it took a while ( and a few pieces of card went to waste) Thank you so much this will make my next one so much easier 💖

[@azcardmaker]

Love this! Such a unique style and I love the stamps!

[@kristinavazquez1554]

Oh my goodness. You're amazing. Thank you so much.

[@irenemiller9274]

OMGosh Sam!! I LOVE it!! Can't wait to try it!! TFS!

[@reafriesen5618]

Pretty cool cards Sam. U make it look so simple to make. My 4 grandsons would luv to get one of these cards for their b day. I will definitely give it a try. Tfs your video and tips on the decorating etc. Enjoyed watching your video. P.S. luv the colours u used on both cards. 👌🤗

[@MixedUpCraft]

Thank you 😀

[@chunkybird1241]

Another great idea for my 'Fun Folds' to-do list! Many thanks, Sam

[@RoseAngella]

This is so cool. 😁 I’m definitely going to make one. 💚

[@SouthernAngelsStamping]

You do such lovely cards! I have done hate fold cards but not this way. I will have to give this a try sometime. I started as a Stampin Up Demonstrator 4 months ago but haven't had any sales as of yet😪 Not sure if you're in the USA or not but I have been trying to let card makers know so they can order from me. Seems like everyone that I know is already a DEMONSTRATOR or has one or out of the USA.

[@lindam5922]

Loved this video! Not only is the design so clever, but well done on your coloring. Love the inches being I'm in the U.S. (California). Any way to have a simple cheat sheet with the measurements for the pieces cut? Will save everyone going back and making notes being sizes so critical. Just subscribed to your channel...been stamping 25+ years but love new creative ideas.

[@MixedUpCraft]

Hi Linda, glad you like the card. All measurements are always written on my blog. Just head to www.mixedupcraft.com 😁

[@yelsyels]

WOW!!! Love it!!! Most appreciated!

[@BarlowSmith]

Amaze-a-bubbles 👏👏👏👏👏

[@pattyd3205]

WOW! that’s fantastic, love it. X

[@junebovenzi]

So adorable!

[@ritaharrison905]

Lovely card, your colouring is fabulous, I thought they were already coloured images which you cut out, do you have a tutorial on colouring techniques, if not would you do a tutorial as I would love to see it.. tfs...hugs xx

[@MixedUpCraft]

Thank you Rita. I plan on doing some colouring tutorials in the near future 😀
