wow! thank you so much for not just the tutorial on how to make it, but also explaining how the mechanism actually works in-depth! super useful thank you :)
Thank you so much for the tutorial. I followed your instructions, and the mechanism worked really well in a "lockdown" birthday card. Fun and a great end result!
I'm so glad that I find you. I always loved the pop-up cards and I wanted to make myself one or two, but with your help I might be able to make it. Thanks a lot. Hugs from Romania.
I come back again to this channel bcs I have an assignment to make a pop up book, thank you for all of the tutorials! It really helps me a lot💜 bless you
When i was a kid, there was a cereal box that included a freebie sliding card like something like what you are showing but i seem to recall it was a simpler mechanism that i folded up.
I imagined this to be easier than it was, especially since I forgot that if you don’t have a sharp knife, it will all stick. I am going to switch to a different pop up for now until I can get my exacto knife haha Thank you for the tutorials, they are entertaining to watch and learn how to make these fantastic pop ups. The pop ups are the best parts of my childhood books.
Well, I finally got my example to work. My main problem, and this also applies to the other type of dissolve, was the thickness of the paper I was using. Trying to build this mechanic with regular A4 paper (working with what was available), as I did with all other examples, didn't work at all. So maybe, if yours is not working, this might be something to pay attention to.
Yes, whatever you make these things with it needs to be rigid. If you're working very small you can often just use paper but normally you will need to use card. For most of these tutorials I use photocopy card which is 160 gsm.
Hello Duncan. I got a bit adventurous with this dissolve. Made the picture almost double the length for a pop up book I am making. It was a bit tricky to do that as I added more slots and had to cut away as much as the model allowed me. But it worked with a few modifications to the tabs and frame. Now that I`ve done a rought model I can get on with the actual page. Thanks for the great tutorials. I have your book which has taught me the important basics of pop ups. Thanks a bunch!
Oh man i have been studying popups now for year, and finally think i got hang of the wery basics of using v-fold to make the base mechanism and stacking my own design atop of it. I feel like the next level would be to combine the mechanisms to create some sort of diorama that is based on 2 or even 3 separate individual mechanisms. Like that kip truck or the old computer which i think had this mechanidm in it. My wish would be, to see a tutorial video of combining specifically. Like how to combine 2 mechanics like a v fold and then pulltab to make more interactive popups that have more layers in them. or something like that.
You could try looking at Tutorials 49 and 57, they both combine mechanisms and movement. Tutorials 40 and 41 give a lot of examples of designs many of which are made by combining mechanisms - the tutorials mention which mechanisms are being combined.
@@thepop-upchannel4919 thank you for replying. I think i have seen them and will check em out again. I just had this thought watching this video and felt like sharing it cause it feels like such an important part of popups.
How do I do this in inches? I have a scoring board to help me make the lines, but I’m having trouble measuring this out. And how do I scale it up and down for a larger/smaller card?
Making these tutorials is a long and only occassional process - so adding things is really not easy. I hope that all the dimensions given in the tutorial will be enough to enable anyone to make this mechanism.
My dissolve pop up isn't working. Something gets jammed on the top. It works mainly if I keep the pull tab extremely steady while I make the dissolve. So frustrating.
This is a difficult mechanism. The cutting has to be extremely precise, no jagged edges. Sometimes it starts to work more smoothly if you can operate it a few times and then any little snags get smoothed off. Otherwise all I can suggest is that you look very carefully and see where exactly it is getting stuck, then (hopefully) you can solve the problem.
That's certainly a possibility. It's tricky as the whole thing needs to be rigid without being thick! Maybe try making it with 160 gsm and then reenforce the whole thing with an extra layer around the dges out of the way of the moving parts (it's explained from 11.00)..
This is a difficult mechanism to make. You will need to make it with card not paper. You will also need to measure very accurately, and cut all the slits with a very sharp craft knife/scalpel. I think the measurements are explained pretty clearly in the video, they are :- For the base - Height 15 cm. Length 15.5 cm. For the moving piece - Height 11 cm + 1 more cm for the two tabs. Length 18.5 cm.
I'm sorry there are no Spanish tutorials - I think putting subtitles on the pictures would interfere too much with what is being shown - I've had several comments from people who've said that although they can't speak English they still find that they can understand what's being explained.
Hi I spent ages following the instructions and getting the measurements and cuts exact, but when it comes to putting it together, you completely lose me, I can't understand or see what you are doing,I read the comments and no one else seems to have a problem, so I guess Im just a bit dense, I feel really disheartened now.
Hopefully it's fairly clear at 6.09 in the video. The base (red piece) has been cut so that it has a series of "fingers" and a slot. The moving piece (green) has been cut so that it has a series of slits and two tabs. One tab goes through the slot in the red piece - the "fingers" are pushed through the slits. The other tab goes behind the red piece and then a piece of tape is used to fix the end of the fingers to the main body of the red piece...... It is a tricky mechanism - I'm sorry to hear that you're having difficulty - maybe you know someone else who could have a look as well, sometimes "a fresh pair of eyes" can see things a bit differently.

Slightly off-topic: Pienkowski has a mastery of the craft that allows the books to be really playful. Glad to encounter a fellow fan :)
I come back again to this channel bcs I have an assignment to make a pop up book, thank you for all of the tutorials! It really helps me a lot💜 bless you
When u r dedicated and best at yur work, there will be not a single hater...be blessed pop up channel with a rate of 0 percent haters.....
I really love your chanel. Its really wonder the way you teach. Thank you
I really love your tutorials. Because of your videos, I was able to make my very first pop up card! Thank you from the Philippines. 😊
I am SOOO happy I found your channel YOURE A BLESSING
Keep making fabulous cards
I'm always with you
You are doing a great job Mr. D. B, thank you so much

The type of movement shown in Tutorial 25 maybe?
you're so talented and kind, thank you very much!
thank you for mentoring me. Just wonderful videos you share. Your a truly gifted artist.

Thanks you!i got a dies never got it right to stick togheter. Now i can
WOW! is fantastic mechanism!!!!
honestly, i'm impressed...
Спасибо большое! Очень интересно и понятно. Учусь, повторяю, всё получается отлично) Thank you so much!!!!! 💋
Отлично
hermoso!!! que persona mas hábil!!!

And how do I scale it up and down for a larger/smaller card?
You could make it using half an inch for one centimetre. It's not exact but it's near enough.
Really useful!! Thanks
awesome tutorial👍👍👍
상세한 설명 감사합니다.
guauuu hace 1 año compré un libro con este mecanismos...y al tratar de realizarlo no pude. Gracias por resolver el gran misterio. Volveré a intentar.
¡Espero que todo funcione bien esta vez!
@@thepop-upchannel4919 siii fue un éxito!!!! Mi hijito estaba feliz ..y con sus jóvenes 3 años y 8 meses, pidió ver el mecanismo!!!!
good idea. thanks

@The Pop-Up Channel Thank you so much for your reply. Maybe it has something to do with the paper I used. The paper thickness was 250 grams.

@@thepop-upchannel4919 That's a brilliant idea! Thank you so much for taking the time to reply again.
What size of paper you start with cause I want to give it about to upgrade my artwork why does mine keep failing like getting stuck :/

Tan bonita la persiana
this made me feel nice and gay
Lol
do you have printable pdfs? would love to decorate a rad grad cap with this
Sorry no pdfs - I hope the tutorial is clear enough so that it's possible to construct your own.
Do you know where I coud find cut template files for download?
All the necessary measurements are given in the video.
Amei!..🥰🇧🇷
Is very nice. Do you have spanish tutorial ?

Eu tenho um filho Autista Eli e mudo não fala
Eu queria aprender mais é muito difícil já tentei fazer mais não consigo
Lamento, coloquei a sua mensagem através do Google Tradutor e não compreendo realmente o que não pode fazer.
Can you post a PDF of the template for this mechanism? I asked the same for the other dissolve, too:-)
Sorry, I don't do templates - all the dimensions are included in the video so I hope it's possible to draw your own.
😍❤🇧🇷💚💛💙👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks man! I finished my fucking homework.🤌🤌
