Buy it at any price and sell it high, right? Isn't that the mantra? Buy it anywhere, sell it higher. Trading is easy, right? Unfortunately, the market doesn't do that. Welcome to Access a Trader, the number one community for those who are committed to taking control of their trading in order to achieve success, profitability, and longevity. Thank you for joining us. Here's Dan Shapiro to help you find your edge, master your process, and own your future. Hey guys, good evening everybody. Welcome to another edition of the Access a Trader.com nightly update show, weekend show, hope everybody is doing okay. We got two weeks left, folks. Santa Claus is coming to town. Kids are excited, right? Spouses are excited, families excited, families healthy, very, very important time. Again, this year could have been really messed up for a lot of people and it has been. It really has been, especially small business, the pandemic, so forth and so on. But again, it's gone, man. We're still here. We're still laughing. We're still smiling. We made it through, right? Not all the way through. There is no finish line yet. Again, the vaccine is underway. It's starting to play out. Some people are taking it so far and so far. Fingers crossed, but the point is again guys, life is going to throw curveballs at you, okay? It's never gonna be lollipops and gumdrops and daisies at the beach, okay? As we all know, life is hard only for the first 100 years, right? From what I understand. So we're going to always face adversity. It's very, very important to understand that. The faster you teach your children that at an early age that life is not fair, that things are gonna go wrong, that you might work hard and still see no results, okay? This is all part of the game and unfortunately, you have two choices. You could either embrace adversity, okay? Or you could throw all victim to it. Again, that's your only choice and trading is no different. When you first start your first two, three years, you're going to face everything. You're gonna get thrown everything including the kitchen sink and I say this all the time. If you don't think about quitting trading at least 50 times a week in your first three years, you're not human, right? You're just not. Everybody goes through it. Everybody has their self-doubts. Everybody at some point in their lives in this trading game, the first three to five years, you have that whole woes me self-pity. But again, just like in life, just like in trading, again, you have two choices. You could either fight through the difficult times, the learning curve and all that stuff that comes with it or you can be a victim to the woes me self-pity. Let me go and do something else. That's it, that's all your two choices and the unfortunate reality is life is going to mirror trading and mirror trading is gonna mirror art. The more that thick skin you have, the more work you put in, the more chances that you are going to thrive and going to be here for the long term. But again, it's all up to you. Instead of sitting there and complaining and trying to give yourself 30 different excuses why things are not working out, just accept it's all part of the learning curve. It's all part of the business. Every trader before you went through it, every trader after you is going to go through it, the difference between somebody trading for 20 years and somebody trading for 20 weeks, the person for 20 years got the kitchen sink thrown at them, okay? Took the adversity, swallowed and embraced it and moved forward. So again, for all you new traders out there, again, the hardest business in the world. Don't anybody even tell you even otherwise, the hardest business in the world. But there is a light at the end of the tunnel and time cures everything. Time cures FOMO, time cures the ability to manage risk the proper way. Time cures the idea that you are going to realize that losing money is part of the cost of doing business and another 1,000 moving parts that we can literally sit here for hours and talk about. So don't put a lot of pressure on yourself, okay? Don't expect to mirror somebody that's been trading for 15, 20, 30 years. You're in your infancy stages. Again, before any child could run, right?  As a baby, they have to learn how to sit up first. They have to learn how to crawl. Life is all about stages, trading is all about stages. Don't put a lot of pressure on yourself. Your time will come and you will have that aha moment. As long as you're putting in the work and you've developed thick skin, you are going to be okay in time. So I hope everybody just kind of gets a little message because I know a lot of new traders, they sit there and they doubt themselves and they think it's only them. Trust me, every trader's gone through it, you'll get through it as well. Again, just keep your head up, everything will be fine. Let's talk about the tape. So market's been on a tremendous run. We got two weeks left, the Santa Claus comes. Two weeks, roughly two, two and a half weeks under the year. 2020 has been a really aggressive year for the stock market, completely the opposite of what's been going on in the real world. And the most important part, kind of going into the last two weeks and especially going into the first quarter of 2021, is just have a level head expectations. Again, when you look at, for example, the IPO, just to give you an idea how aggressive this tape is, if you look at the IPOs, they just came public in the last several days. Airbnbs and DoorDash. Airbnbs doubled, because of the market climate, Airbnbs doubled on its first day. DoorDash was only up, only 80%. That shows you how much euphoria still is in this market. And I've said this every day now for a very, very long time. It's really important that you understand what this market is and what this market has become. What this market is, is the design for long-term investing. It really is. Day trading and short-term interval trading is man-made. It's something that we either developed or adopted as part of a core routine. So the market itself, it's not structured for a day-to-day trader. So the idea that the market has to give you something every single day is nonsense. The market's been here 200 years before, maybe even longer than that. And the point is, I'm joking, and the point is it'll be here 200, 300, 400 years unless a missile comes and a UFO is coming to kill us all, which could possibly happen in 2021. So you have to level your expectations going through this new year. You have to temper your enthusiasm a little bit. Usually IPOs that double on their first day are a byproduct of what we see in the stock market and what we've been seeing in the stock market. When you look at SPAC plays, and I didn't know what a SPAC was, right? I had no idea what a SPAC was. And somebody tried to explain to me, well, they know there's shell companies that acquire other companies. And the first thing I thought about was shell companies acquiring. First thing I thought about was Ozark. I go, you mean like what Marty Bird does? You mean like money laundering? Allegedly, right? So when you look at what SPACs are doing and you look what all these EV companies are doing, okay? It's phenomenal. It's absolutely marvelous to watch, but this is not normal. Everybody understands it's not normal. So to have the idea that this is going to continue for 2021, you know, might be a little aggressive. And the reason why I bring this up specifically now is kind of what we saw in the last three days. And this is kind of what I wanna start the update. So if everybody has been watching this broadcast, you know what the market is doing, right? The Q's broke out of this 294 level, went up 10 days in a row, had that big rug pull on Wednesday. And for the last couple of days, they've done really, really well holding this bottom range here. But in the mean process, in the meantime, the last three days, you saw a common denominator. And that common denominator was stocks were not aggressive enough to go back up, but there wasn't any fear to go down. And what that means is bulls are not ready to go up yet, but bears don't have enough ammunition to take it down. And what that's commonly known as one of the ugliest words in the trader's vocabulary. And for all you new traders, you should really hear it, okay? It's called distribution, okay? Imagine again, the bulls and bears sitting in a phone booth with pillows trying to hit each other, right? Nobody's doing any damage. The problem is this is also called the chop factor. And the chop factor will show you that bulls and bears are going to have a little bit of light in the same day, okay? You're gonna see a lot of strength in the market. You're going to see a lot of weakness in the market. And that's what we started seeing from Wednesday all the way up to yesterday. And if you notice what bait has been doing, right? The Teslas, the Amazons, the Netflixes of the world, the Apples of the world, the Facebooks of the world slowly, but surely they have their really big days. And you say to yourself, okay, this is it.  And then for the next three, four days, they sit in tight channels. And that's the biggest problem. That's the biggest problem that I've been seeing. We saw a really aggressive week this week, but the aggressive day came on Monday when Tesla finally broke out over that 600, 608 level. And then two days later, when Square really, really exploded and Roku really, really exploded. And then we had nothing, right? We had two days, like on Friday, yesterday's session for me was nothing. I lost some money on FSLI. And then my next three trades, I made some money, but very, very small scouts because everything else was bunched up in ranges. And this is a very, very, very scary area for a lot of traders that have been trading in a very aggressive market the whole year. They don't even realize what's going on, but this is the most easiest way to chop yourself up.  So you can chop yourself up to the point of you can give back a month's worth of trading, literally in a couple of days, because you're still pushing. You still have that memory of the market from a week ago, two weeks ago, how hot it is, buy it at any price and sell it high, right? Isn't that the mantra? Buy it anywhere, sell it higher, trading is easy, right? Unfortunately, the market doesn't do that. And when you go into a distribution cycle, somebody is trying to seize control of the moment. Somebody is trying to seize control of the interval. The problem is that usually lasts for about a week, right? We're about three days in. So distribution can show you come Monday morning a really hot open and then fade away for the rest of the day or a really big gap down and start grinding back the rest of the day. Again, strength and weakness in the same day. So if you look at a channel, and again, we speak about technicals. We don't speak about what happens if. We speak about technicals where the market is. And if you look at the NASDAQ composite via the QQQs, you'll notice we have three days in a row of lower highs, right? And again, like I said, on Wednesday's update, don't lose your minds, okay? The reason why we had that really, really big pull in the Qs, because the Qs were up 10 days in a row. So this wasn't an area for us to turn around and say, that's it, this is the top of the market, it's time to go short. It's not, we're not even close to that. Matter of fact, we're still way above this channel here that broke out above the 294. So until we actually close above the 294, that should raise some eyebrows. And again, look at this long-term distribution that's going on on the 50-day moving average. So until that happens, again, the bulls will always get the benefit of the doubt. Can you get a rug pull here and there? Of course, and you should always be conscious of that. But the idea that you turn around and say, well, this is the market reversal, I think you're getting a little head of yourself and this is exactly what happened on Thursday's session when people thought we were gonna have day two. And all I kept on saying is until we actually confirm that day two, again, go calmly. Don't overthink, let them price action talk to you. And they held in the last two days, putting green candles, which basically means they're higher closes than opens. So we have a definitive line that we have to see going into this week, right? The bulls need to reclaim this 304 level on the queues and the bears need to reclaim this 298. This is our channel and here's going to be the problem. When you have a channel that is that narrow, it's gonna need some time to get out. Now I think we're day three, maybe day three going into Monday's session. Usually what happens in distribution is they're gonna go sideways instead of go up and down, up and down, up and down.  Number one, you're gonna give back a day very, very quickly if you don't realize what's going on here.  And then it's not even to realize what's happening and you're gonna start pushing and pushing. I'm here to tell you we're in distribution right now. So your level of activity needs to be, especially if you're an intraday trader, your level of activity needs to be a little bit pulled back. You can't put on 20 trades in a distribution cycle. Matter of fact, if you look at Friday's action, every trade that literally I was in was going up 30, 40 cents and coming right back in. And I made a joke about it, I go, can anything stay up more than two minutes? That's what she said, right? So this is the market that we're in. And especially for all you guys who are trading on the option side and you've been buying premium for weeks and weeks and months and months. Well, what do you think is gonna happen in the distribution cycle when Amazon's trading at an $8 range? Netflix is trading at a $2 range. Facebook isn't trading at a $2 range.  So you have to understand the dynamics of this market. There's a difference between when you hear social media people turn around and say, well, you gotta sit on your hands, cash is a position, right? That's a crutch of saying when the market goes down, they don't really know what to do. And there's a lot of people, unfortunately, use that crutch as cash is a position when the market heads down. And unfortunately, they don't have the process to capitalize, but that's a whole different conversation. When you're in a distribution cycle, there's a difference between cash sitting on your hands because of lack of process or waiting patiently for the distribution cycle to kind of end. But again, like I said, it usually does end within a week, okay? Usually there's a side, they finally seize control in the natural course of the action continues in that matter. But again, it's not a sign of weakness that you're waiting for this to play out. It's a sign of maturity, okay? And you have two choices you could either completely say, forget about what this idiot's saying, which is what my wife says, right? Or really just think about what I mean. I mean, I'm going on my 21st year, I've kind of seen this movie before. It's like watching Scarface 30 times, right? Believe me, Tony dies at the end, spoiler alert, right? Tony doesn't retire on a beach in Costa Rica. He dies, right? So as many times as you watch the movie, the same scenario plays out over and over again. We're in distribution.  But until the cues reclaim, okay, 304 or the bears reclaim 298, you're going to be stuck in the cycle. So what do you do, right? Logically, what do you do? Number one, like I said a few minutes ago, take down your level of aggression, tier size, right? If you're not supposed to be trading full size in a distribution model, because number one, again, there is no aggression, there is no fear. Number two, scalp, right? It's a dirty word. I know a lot of people look down on it, right? Especially the longer term investors. I know you guys are so cool holding something for 30 years. I get it, I get it. But the rest of us deviants, right? The rest of us degenerates and heathens that actually trade the intraday market, it's actually pretty cool, right?   It might be three. So if you get 50 cents to a dollar, take some off. It goes up another dollar, two dollars, take some off. And if you are lucky, the distribution channel ends maybe it does go up $10. But again, we can't anticipate that. So you have to be in cash flow mode this week. Long, short, whatever the case may be.  My advice, this isn't for you. I'm talking about for the people who are trading beta who do trade technology names, the Microsofts, the Apples. Again, the $2 stocks are gonna do and if that's your thing, that's your thing. This really has nothing to do with you. But anybody who trades any type of technology, your semiconductors, your internet names, the Tesla's of the world, right? We have to curb our enthusiasm until these channels really start to reclaim. And if you're trading on the option side, don't even think about buying premium. I'm not telling you to sell premium either. But the idea that you're buying something $20 out of the money during a distribution cycle, you might as well just give your money to charity. There's a 10% chance that your premium, unless there's some crazy PR that comes out overnight, that's gonna make your trade hold. So it's an ugly situation, but it happens all the time, right? Distribution does happen, what, three, four times a year. It feels like once a quarter. It only lasts about a week, okay? And again, you have two choices. Either really understand that this is happening and say to yourself, well, you know what? Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday might be a little bit less aggressive. I could either trade or trade responsibly or forget about what this guy just said and just keep on pushing and pushing and pushing, okay? And again, you might not feel it monetarily, okay? Maybe you'll have a couple of paper cuts, but sitting around and waiting for distribution to end is mentally exhausted. By the time two o'clock, 2.30 came around on Friday, I was burnt out, man. I didn't even wanna look at the market. I didn't care about the market by 2.30. I was so tired of waiting. Because again, it takes so much effort to scalp for such a short period of intervals what we saw on Friday, 20 cents, 30 cents. It's so difficult that it's mentally exhausting. It's almost like getting hit with a monster drawdown. That's the same thing. So it took me literally 15 hours to kinda get back to normal, to kinda get my battery reduced. So it's very, very important to kinda understand going into this week. If you look at the indexes this week, they're not gonna paint the picture. Everything is down 1%, a little less than 1%. I do like the fact that the NASDAQ 100 held the cues, right? Held this bottom range here. But again, like I said, they either need to reclaim 304 on a close or the bears need to reclaim 298. And the moral of the story is again, patience is a virtue and you will get rewarded if you let this distribution channel kind of play out. Other than that, again, very aggressive week on Monday, very aggressive day on Wednesday. And then you had, Tuesday was okay.   But again, there's nothing you can do about it. There really isn't. And part of this whole trading journey is that you have to understand the times to really, really get aggressive and put your foot down on the pedal and time to kind of scale it back. And this is one of those times. This is one of those times until we get those levels confirmed one way or another. So going into this week, again, Disney looks amazing, right? I believe they're coming out with some sort of new Star Wars stuff. So any dip on Disney needs to be bought. If you look at Disney had a monster on. And oh, by the way, okay, here's a point when people talk about somebody always knows something, somebody always knows. Two and a half weekly calls. The problem with that is that was $9 out of the money. So somebody always knows something. So I like Disney on any dips, especially if you can get into the 169, 170 area. I think it's a pretty good area to come back here. Tesla, again, what a fantastic job. And it really does show you the demand for Tesla shares. They absorb this offering within three days. Again, Tesla needs for Tesla to wake up. And again, I see these incredibly aggressive out of the money bets, millions of dollars. And I get it, but until that happens, it really needs to clear out this channel. Okay, you need to go back. And again, you still all throughout the week, the 650s, the 700 weeklies, and they all expired, obviously worthless. So there's a lot of money being bet. But again, guys, remember before you can run, you need to be able to sit yourself up, be able to crawl and then slowly to walk. And again, needs to take out this channel here. So going into this week, you know, I'm dealt the neutral. I really am. Again, we have two weeks left in the year. I'm not in any hurry to recreate the wheel. The action this year has been phenomenal. And again, I hated to admit this for the first half of the year, but yeah, it's pretty comparable.com. And for all you guys who traded during 99 and 2000, I think everybody has to admit it by now.  So going into this week, again, when you look at the other ETFs, IWM is holding up very, very well. Again, the small cap names, the rotation has been absolutely phenomenal. If all you guys who do trade these small and mid cap names, I mean, you see it. I mean, the market's been really, really blessing this year. Hopefully again, just keep on taking advantage of it. The Dow continues to be, you know, kind of stuck in this channel. But again, when you're stuck in the channel at all time highs, it's not really the worst thing in the world. The biotechs, again, with all this Pfizer news, right? Pfizer news and AstraZeneca, I think came out buying out Alexion. You know, the bios look really, really good. Again, now from the Main Street part of America or actually Main Street part of the world, now we need these vaccines to be rolled out. We need these vaccines to be good, right? And with very limited, you know, very limited side effects. And, you know, if the 2021, my biggest request is, number one, to stay healthy and happy, right? But number two is just to kind of go back to life, you know, take the little things that we took for granted for years and years and years, just going to a ball game, right? Just doing anything, the little things that we took for granted, but now we desperately want back. So again, guys, we have two weeks left in the year. Stay very, very patient, stay very, very calm. Again, screen time, just time in general will make you a better husband, better wife, better parent, and especially a better trader. Guys, God bless you all. Love you, everybody. And with God's help, I'll see you on Monday. Take care.

Well done question two one type of these Focuses on rates of change such as slopes tangent lines and velocities While the other one deals with total size or value such as lengths areas or volumes Which two types of mathematics am I referring to? Yes statistics and geometry close enough, but no One of them deals with rates of change The other one deals with total sizes or value. I'm talking about let's try though So it's like geometry and like Dynamics or no I'm looking integral and differential calculus. I should have said what type of calculus. Oh, yes Yes, this lady my people I was looking for integral and differential calculus.

Understanding patient and caregiver experiences is a critical component of the conception, design, and implementation of clinical research studies. The database of individual patient experiences, DIPX, is an innovative, evidence-based approach for eliciting rich information about health experiences. We conducted a formative evaluation with 14 pediatric oncology researchers to assess the value of using data from a DIPX study on patient and caregiver experiences with childhood cancer to inform patient-centered research in pediatric oncology. Participants identified barriers to incorporating patient perspectives and experiences into their research and how the DIPX approach could be leveraged to facilitate this practice.

Recording by Jeffrey Edwards. Rhetorik by Aristotle, translated by Thomas Taylor. Chapter 15 of Book 3. With respect, however, to the disillusion of crimes objected by the opponent, one mode is derived from those things through which the ill-opinion of the audience may be removed. For it makes no difference whether this opinion arises from what is said or not, so that this mode is universal. Another mode consists in obviating such particulars as Ardubius, either by showing that the thing which is the subject of doubt does not exist, or that it is not noxious, or that it is not noxious to this person, or that it is not so pernicious as the opponent contends it to be, or that it is not unjust, or that it is not greatly so, or that it is not disgraceful, or that it is a thing of small consequence. Four things of this kind are the subjects of contention. And this mode was adopted by Iphicrates against Nausicrates, for he confessed that he did what he was accused by Nausicrates of having done, and that he did harm to the person, but did not act unjustly. Or he that has injured another may say that he has made him a compensation, so that if what he did was noxious, yet it was beautifully done, if painful, yet it was beneficial, or something else of the like kind may be said. Another mode consists in showing that the deed which is objected to as a crime was an error, or happened from misfortune, or from necessity. Thus Sophocles said, quote, that he trembled not, as his accuser said, that he might seem to be an old man, but from necessity, for he was not willingly 80 years of age, close quote. An excuse also may be made by asserting that the deed was not done with a view to that end it is said to have been done by the opponent. Thus he who is accused of having injured another person may say, quote, that it was not his intention to injure him, but that the injury was accidental, and that it would be just to hate him if the injury had been done by him voluntarily. Another mode consists in considering whether the opponent himself or some of his kindred have now, or formally, been involved in the crime which he objects to the defendant. Another mode consists in showing that those also are involved in the crime whom the opponent confesses not to be obnoxious to the accusation, as if the opponent should confess that this man, though he is an adulterer, is pure in his conduct, then this, and this man also will be pure. Another mode consists in showing that if the opponent has accused others falsely before, it is probable that he now falsely accuses the defendant, or if it is shown that those who are now accused have been at another time falsely accused, for then it is probable that now also they are falsely accused. In order likewise to remove a bad opinion, it may be said that the same persons who at another time have been suspected of a crime, though no one has accused them, have been found to be innocent. Another mode consists in reciprocally criminating the accuser, for if the accuser is unworthy of belief, it is absurd that his assertions should be credible. Another mode consists in showing that the present cause has been decided before, as Euripides does in the action against Higianotes, which is called Antidosis, who accused him as an impious person, for when he objected to Euripides, that in that verse of his, the tongue has sworn, but unsworn is the mind, he persuaded men to perjure themselves. Euripides replied, that his accuser acted unjustly in bringing decisions into a court of justice, which had formerly been made in the contest pertaining to Bacchus, for in that tribunal he had defended the verse and would again defend it if he was willing to accuse him in that place. Close quote. Another mode consists in reprobating false accusations, and in showing how great an evil Calumny is, and that it is also attended with the evil of producing other judicial processes. The place, however, which is derived from symbols is common to both, i.e. to him who accuses and to the Crimination. Thus Ulysses, in the tragedy called Toyser, quote, accuses Toyser as the friend of the Trojans, because he was allied to Priam. Close quote. For Hesion, the mother of Toyser, was the sister of Priam. But Toyser replied, quote, that his father, Telemann, was an enemy to Priam, and that he, Bracket, Toyser, close Bracket, did not discover to the Trojans the spies which the Greeks sent to Troy. Close quote. Another place pertains to the accuser, and consists in praising in a small degree, in order to blame afterwards more copiously. And if the opponent has performed any great deed, to mention it concisely, or having enumerated many of his good deeds, which do not pertain to the cause, to blame one of his actions, which does not pertain to it. But accusers of this kind are most artificial and unjust, for they endeavor to injure by good deeds, mingling them with one evil deed. It is common, however, to the accuser, and to him who dissolves the crime, since it is possible that the same thing may have been done for the sake of many things. It is common to the accuser, indeed, to represent the affair in the worst, but to him who dissolves the crime, to represent it in the best point of view. Thus it may be said, quote, that Diomed preferred Ulysses as his associate in the night adventure in Iliad 10, because he thought Ulysses to be the best of the Greeks. Close quote. Or it may be said, quote, that he did not prefer him for this reason, but because he alone was not his antagonist, as being a man of no consequence. Close quote. And thus much concerning accusation. Chapter 16. But narration in demonstrative orations is not continued, but distinguished in the parts. For it is necessary in demonstrative orations to enumerate those actions from which the oration is composed. For an oration of this kind is composed so as to be partly in artificial. Bracket, since the orator, is not the cause of any of the actions, close bracket, and partly artificial. This however, consists in showing either that the thing is, if it is incredible, or what the quality or quantity of it is, or in exhibiting all these. On this account, sometimes it is not requisite to narrate everything, because thus to demonstrate is adverse to facility of remembrance. Thus, for instance, it may be said, quote, that from these things it appears that he is a brave man, but from those a wise, or a just man. Close quote. And the one oration is more simple, i.e., the oration in which everything is narrated in a continued series without any confirmation and amplification. But the other, in which there is confirmation and amplification, is various and not elaborate. It is necessary, however, to call to mind things and persons known and celebrated, on which account the greater part of celebrated persons and things do not require narration. As if, for instance, you should be willing to praise Achilles, for all men are acquainted with his actions. But it is requisite to make use of these actions. But if you were willing to praise Chrissius, narration is necessary, for he is not known by many persons. At present, however, returations ridiculously say that narration should be rapid. Though, what a certain person said in reply to a baker who asked, quote, whether he wished that he should make soft or hard bread, close quote, may be applied to these. For his answer was, quote, is it not possible to make good bread so that it may be neither hard nor soft, but of a moderate condition? Close quote. For it is requisite, neither to make a long narration, as neither is it necessary to make a long exordium, nor to dwell on the credibility of what is narrated. Since here also, propriety consists, neither in rapidity, nor conciseness, but in mediocrity. But this is affected by narrating such things as render the affair manifest, or such things as induce the audience to believe that the thing has been done, or that the person has been hurt, or the injury has been committed, or that the transactions were of the magnitude which the orator wishes here to believe they were. Things, however, of a nature contrary to these, are to be adduced by the opponent. The orator likewise should insert in his narration such things as pertain to his own virtue, such as, quote, but I always admonish him to act justly, and not to desert his children, close quote, or he should insert in his narration such things as pertain to the depravity of another person, as in the above instance, quote, but he answered me that wherever he was he should have other children, close quote, which Herodotus in Utterp says was the answer of the Egyptians when they revolted from their king, or he should insert such things as are pleasing to the judges. To the defendant, however, narration is less necessary, but the subjects of controversies are whether a thing has been done or not, whether it is detrimental or not, whether it is unjust or not, and whether it is a thing of so much consequence or not. Hence the defendant must not dwell upon a thing that is acknowledged unless something is said in opposition to his statement of the affair. For then he must show that admitting the thing to have been done yet it was not unjust. Further still, it is necessary to narrate things which have not been done, as if they had been done, if they are calculated to produce commissuration or indignation. Examples of this are the fabulous narration of Ulysses to Alcinus, and again to Penelope, which is affected in 30 verses. Another example is that a phallus who contracted a very long poem which is called The Circle, and also the prologue of Euripides in his Enos. But it is necessary that the narration should be ethical, and this will be affected if we know what produces manners. One thing therefore which produces them is a manifestation of deliberate choice, and manners are good or bad from the quality which they possess. But deliberate choice is such as it is from the end. On this account, mathematical discussions are not ethical because they do not contain in themselves deliberate choice, for they have not that for the sake of which a thing is done, i.e. they do not consider the end. But this is the business of Socratic discussions. Let's consider things of this kind. The aeration also expresses manners which exhibits such things as are consequent to manners, such as quote that at the same time he said these things he went away, close quote. For this manifests audacity and rusticity of manners. The aeration likewise is rendered ethical by not speaking as if from a syllogistic process like returitions of the present day. But as if from deliberate intention as quote I have wished, close quote, and quote for this was the object of my deliberate choice since, though I should desire no emolument from it, it is a better thing, close quote. For the one, i.e. to speak as if from a syllogistic process is the province of a prudent man. But the other, i.e. to speak from deliberate intention of a good man. For it belongs to a prudent man to pursue what is beneficial. But to a good man to pursue what is beautiful in conduct. If, however, what you narrate is incredible, then the cause is to be explained. An example of which is from the antigone of Sophocles, quote that she was more anxiously concerned for her brother than for her husband or children. For she might repair the loss of her children by marrying again but her mother and father having descended to Hades she could never have another brother, close quote. But if you cannot assign the cause you may say, quote, that you are not ignorant, you relate what is incredible but that you are naturally disposed not to admit anything disgraceful, close quote. For mankind do not believe that any action is performed willingly except it is advantageous. Again, that the narration may be ethical, it is requisite that it should be pathetic. And this is affected by relating such things as are consequent to the passions which are known to the audience and which particularly relate either to the orator or his opponent, as, quote, but he departed looking after me, close quote. And as a shine says of Cradallus, quote that he hissed and clapped with his hands, close quote. For these things are adapted to persuade because these things which the audience know are symbols of what they do not know. Many things also of this kind may be assumed from Homer as in Odyssey 19, quote, then or her face that Beldum spread her hands, close quote. For those who begin to weep cover their eyes with their hands in the beginning of the oration, likewise, you should introduce yourself as a worthy and your opponent as an unworthy man that the audience may survey you and your opponent as such. But this should be done latently and that this may be easily accomplished, may be seen from those who announce anything to us. For concerning things of which we know nothing, we at the same time form a certain opinion of their truth or falsehood. In many places however it is necessary to narrate and sometimes not in the beginning of the oration. But in a popular oration there is no need of narration because no one makes a narration of future events. If however there should happen to be a narration in it, it will be of past events in order that by recalling them into the memory there may be a better consultation about such as our future going on this occasion accusation or praise. But then he who does this will not perform the office of a counselor. If however that which is narrated is incredible then you ought to promise the audience that you will immediately assign the cause of it and leave it to the audience to believe or not as they please. Thus Iocasta in the Oedipus of Carcinus, when she says something incredible in answer to him who asks her concerning his son always promises that she would prove the truth of what she had said and the iman of Sophocles employs the same art. Chapter 17 It is necessary however that credibility should be demonstrative but it is requisite to demonstrate bracket since controversy is respecting four things close bracket by inducing a demonstration of the controversial subject. Thus for instance, if it is controversial whether a thing has been done it is especially necessary in a judicial process to give a demonstration of this or if it is controversial whether this man has been injured or whether he has been injured to the extent alleged or whether justly or not and in a similar manner of the existence of the thing nor must we be ignorant that in this controversy alone one of the persons must necessarily be depraved for here ignorance is not the cause as if certain persons were disputing about justice so that this controversy but not others must be diligently discussed. But in demonstrative orations the amplification will for the most part consist in showing that actions have been beautiful and beneficial for it is necessary to believe in facts for demonstrations are seldom given of these things unless they are incredible or another person is supposed to be the cause of them in popular orations however it may be contended that a thing will not be or that what is advised will take place but that it is not just or it is not beneficial or that it is not of such great consequence it is likewise necessary to see whether the opponent has asserted anything false which does not pertain to the cause since from this as from a sign it may be inferred that he has also spoken falsely in other things examples however are indeed most adapted to popular orations but enthamemes to judicial orations for the former are conversant with the future so that examples must necessarily be derived from past events but judicial orations are conversant with things which exist or do not exist in which there is in a greater degree demonstration and necessity for that which has been done is attended with necessity enthamemes however must not be adduced in a continued series but must be mingled with other things more pleasant and easy since if this is not done they will be detrimental to each other for there is a boundary of quantity hence in Homer in Odyssey 4 Menelaus praises Pisastratus the son of Nestor for the mediocrity of his speech quote, dear youth you have said just as much as a wise man would have said for he does not praise him that he said such things but so much and no more nor must enthamemes be investigated in every subject for if this precept is not observed you will do that which some of those who philosophize do who syllogistically collect things more known and credible than the propositions from which they are deduced when likewise you wish to excite the passions do not introduce an enthamem i.e. abstain from argument for the enthamem will either expel the passion or will be introduced in vain for motions which exist at one and the same time expel each other and either destroy themselves or become imbecile nor when the oration is ethical is it proper at the same time to search for any enthamem for demonstration has neither the power of expressing manners nor deliberate choice sentences however must be used both in narration and confirmation for they are ethical as and i indeed entrusted him with this though i knew that it was not proper to believe in any man but if you wish to speak pathetically you may say and i do not repent though i have been injured for gain is with him but justice with me it is not without reason however that popular orations are more difficult than such as are judicial are conversant with the future but the judicial are conversant with the past which is scientifically known to diviners as epimenines the Cretan said for he did not predict about future events but about such past events as were immanifest in the law is an hypothesis in judicial orations but he who possesses the principle can more easily discover the demonstration popular orations likewise have not many digressions such for instance as a digression to the opponent either respecting himself or which may produce the pathetic but such orations admit these the least of all things unless they depart from their proper employment it is requisite therefore that he should digress who is in want of arguments in this method is adopted by the Athenian returitions and also by isocrates for giving counsel he accuses the Lacedemonians in his panagyric but in his oration concerning peace he accuses Charis in demonstrative orations however it is requisite to insert praise as an episode as isocrates does for he always introduces something which he may praise and Gorgias employed the same art who said quote that he should never be in want of an oration close quote for if he speaks of Achilles he praises Peleus afterwards Iacus and afterwards the God i.e. Jupiter the great grandfather of Achilles in a similar manner he praises the fortitude of Achilles he therefore who has demonstrations may speak both ethically and demonstratively but if you have not enthamemes and it is more adapted to a worthy man that he should appear to be a good man than that he should deliver an accurate oration of enthamemes however those which are adapted to confutation are more approved than those which are demonstrative because such things as produce confutation are evidently more syllogistic for contraries when placed by each other become more known arguments however the arguments employed against the opponent are not specifically different from those which we employ in our own defense but it pertains to credibility to dissolve some things by objection and others by syllogism it is also necessary both in consultation and in a judicial process that he who first pleads his cause should in the first place confirm his cause but afterwards should dissolve or extenuate the arguments but if the opposing arguments are many these must be first confuted as Calistratus did in the Messeniac assembly for he first refuted what his adversaries could say and then said what conduced to his own cause he however who speaks in the second place ought first to encounter the reasoning of his adversary dissolving it and syllogizing in opposition to it and especially if the arguments of his opponents have been approved for as the soul is not favorably disposed towards those who have been already accused of crimes after the same manner neither does it willingly attend to an oration if the opponent appears to have spoken well in order to prepare the mind of the auditor therefore to hear an oration it is necessary first to show that what the opponent has said is false hence the orator must fight against either all the arguments of his opponent or the greatest of them or those which are most approved or those which may be easily confuted and thus render his own arguments credible thus Hecuba in Euripides quote but first the goddesses I will assist for Juno etc. close quote for here Hecuba first confutes what was most infirm and thus much concerning confirmation but with respect to manners since for a man to say certain things about himself is either invidious or is attended with circumlocution or contradiction and to speak of another is attended either with slander or rusticity hence it is necessary to introduce another person speaking as Isocrates does in his oration against Philip and in his antidosis and as Arkeloches blames for he makes the father like Cambys say concerning his daughter in an iambic verse quote there is nothing which may not be expected to be done and nothing which will not be sworn to through money close quote and in another iambic the beginning of which is quote I care not for the riches of Gaijes close quote he introduces Karen the artist speaking thus also Eamon the son of Crian and the husband of Antigone in Sophocles while he supplicates his father Crian for the life of Antigone commemorates the praises of Antigone not from his own proper but from another person it is necessary also to change anthememes and sometimes to change them into sentences as quote it is requisite that those who are intelligent should form compacts with enemies when they are in prosperity for thus they will be attended with the greatest advantage but this is done anthemematically as follows quote for if it is then requisite to form compacts when they are most useful and replete with the most advantageous conditions it is also necessary that they should be made in prosperity close quote chapter 18 with respect to interrogation it is then especially seasonable to employ it when something is said by the opponent of such a nature that by the addition of one interrogation an absurdity will ensue thus Pericles asked Lampeau concerning the mysteries of Ceres who was called the savior goddess but Lampeau replied quote that it was unlawful for one who was uninitiated to hear them related close quote Pericles however again asked him quote if he knew these mysteries close quote and Lampeau replying that he did quote and how is this possible said Pericles since you are uninitiated close quote in the second place it is seasonable to employ interrogation when one of the premises from which something follows favorable to our cause is perspicuous but the other will be evidently granted by the opponent for then it is requisite to interrogate concerning such premise and immediately conclude without interrogating concerning the other premise which is perspicuous thus Socrates when Meletus accused him of not believing there were gods asked him whether he thought there was any such thing as a demonical nature and when Meletus acknowledged that he did Socrates also asked him whether demons were not either the sons of the gods or something divine but Meletus granting that they were is it possible therefore Socrates that anyone can believe that there are sons of the gods and yet that there are no gods further still interrogation may likewise be seasonably employed when we wish to show that the opponent contradicts himself or assert something paradoxical in the fourth place it may be opportunity employed when the opponent can only answer to what is said sophisticly by asserting that a certain thing is and is not or partly is and partly is not or in a certain respect is and in a certain respect is not for the auditors are disturbed by such answers and are dubious as to their meaning when however none of the above mentioned opportunities occur interrogation must not be employed for if it should happen that the opponent answers properly and deludes the interrogation he who interrogates will appear to be vanquished for many questions must not be asked on account of the imbecility of the mind of the auditor hence it is especially necessary that enthamemes should be contracted it is likewise requisite to reply to ambiguous questions by logically dividing and not speaking concisely but to things apparently true a solution must immediately be given with the answer before the opponent can add a second interrogation or syllogize for it is not difficult to foresee what he wishes to infer this however end the solutions i.e. the mode of avoiding and solving capsious interrogations will be manifest to us from the topics if the question also of the opponent produces a conclusion against us it will be opportune in the answer to assign the cause why it does so i.e. being asked by pisander whether he was of the opinion of the other senators that a dominion of 40 persons should be established he replied that he was and when he was asked again does not disappear to you to be a base thing he said it does have you therefore pisander replied given your assent to this base deed i have said sofa clays for no better measure could be adopted thus too that lackan who had been an aphorist or senator when he was desired to give an account of his conduct while he was in administration was asked by someone whether his colleagues appeared to him to have been justly condemned he replied they did but the other then said did not you also decree things together with them he acknowledged that he did quote is it not therefore just the other replied that you should be put to death quote by no means said lackan for they did these things having received money for doing them but i did not since my conduct was the result of my own judgment close quote hence neither is it proper to interrogate after the conclusion nor to interrogate concerning the conclusion itself unless much truth is contained in it with respect to ridicule however since it appears to possess a certain use in contests and it is necessary as gorgeous rightly said that the serious arguments of the opponent should be dissolved by laughter and his laughter by serious arguments we have shown in the poetic how many species of ridicule there are but of these species when indeed is adapted to a liberal man and another is not the orator therefore must assume that species of ridicule which is adapted to the occasion irony however is more liberal than scurrility for he who employs irony produces the ridiculous for his own sake but he who employs scurrility for the sake of another person chapter 19 epilogue however or is composed from four things from that which may cause the auditor to think well of the orator and ill of his opponent from amplification and extenuation from that which may excite the passions of the auditor and from recalling to the memory what has been said for it is natural after demonstration for the orator to show that what he has asserted is true and that what his opponent has said is false and thus to praise and blame and conciliate the good opinion of the audience but of two things it is requisite that the orator should direct his attention to one of them is either to show that he is good to the audience or that he is simply a worthy man and that his opponent is bad to the audience or that he is simply a bad man we have shown however what the places are from which things of this kind are to be derived vis whence it may be inferred that men are worthy or depraved in the next place it is requisite to amplify or extenuate according to nature what has now been demonstrated for it is necessary that it should be acknowledged a thing has been done if the orator intends to speak of its magnitude for the increase of bodies from pre-existent substances but we have already shown whence the places of amplification and extenuation are to be derived after these things however since it is evident what their quality and quantity are the orator should excite the passions of the auditor but these are pity and indignation anger and hatred envy, emulation and contention and we have before shown the places of these hence it remains that in the paration the orator should recall into the memory of the audience what has been before said but this is to be done in such a way as others improperly teach us to do in proems for that a thing may be easily understood they order us to repeat it frequently in proems indeed it is necessary to speak of the thing which is the subject of discussion that the audience should be ignorant what that is which is to be decided but here in paration the arguments which have been employed must be summarily repeated the beginning however of the paration should be quote that the orator has accomplished what he promised close quote so that he must then explain what those things are of which he has spoken and on what account they were discussed by him the repetition should be made from a comparison of what has been said by the opponent and it is requisite to compare either such things as have been said on the same subject both by the orator and his opponent or such things as have not been said by both of them on the same subject as quote and he indeed said this on the subject but I that and for these reasons close quote made from irony as quote for he said this but I that close quote and quote what would he have done if he had shown that those things were transacted and not these close quote or from interrogation as quote what has not been shown close quote or thus quote what has the opponent shown close quote either therefore the repetition thus made or it must be made from comparison or the orator must repeat in a natural order what he has said and again if he is so inclined he may repeat what his opponent has said that mode of diction however is adapted to the conclusion of the oration which is called disjunctive in order that it may be an epilogue and not an oration such as quote he said you have heard you are masters of the subject judge for yourselves close quote end of book 3 and end of rhetoric by Aristotle

Hey everybody it's Sam at Mixed Up Craft, thank you for watching my tutorial today. I'm going to be showing you how I've made these, I guess they're just the same as a pop-up box card but they're just not having all of the elements popping up the top. I've kept everything inside here, so if you've made any of the pop-up boxes I've got a massive playlist, I've got about, I think about 15 different ones, I will link that there so you can check out that for some more inspiration. But I made these two, well kind of made them, this one was kind of ready during my Facebook live, so I thought I would do it for YouTube as well. They will fold flat and fit into a 5x7 envelope. Now this one here I've got one more element which I'm going to add to that which I'm going to show you and this is the one that is finished. I didn't get round to doing the glossy accents and this little cluster here during the live, so for anybody that did watch that you can just see this now finished. And I've also added in three of the silhouette birds here from the fabulous flight stamp set, my one. I just thought they worked really well with this set and then on the back you've got room there to be able to write your message and these ones are both thinking of you cards. So let me show you how to make them. Okay so I've already gone ahead and done all of the bits that I'm going to do for the one I'm showing you today but I am going to stamp another one of the lady and kind of explain all that to you so that you can use any stamps that you want. You don't have to use the set that I have but I will go through that one in a moment. So for the main card and this is easy to adapt and change to other sizes if you want to but this is for a five by seven. So this is a piece of 10 by five cardstock and along the 10 inch side you want to score it half an inch, two and a half, seven and a half and nine and a half. Okay that's it and then you just want another piece of cardstock that's five by five. Now you're also going to want a piece of card stock that is six inches wide. Now you know I'm just going to cut this piece of A4 in half so you don't have to worry too much of the length I mean this is eight and a quarter but once you see you know why then you know you can cut more if you want to but along the six inch side you just want to score it half an inch and five and a half and we're now actually going to stamp you know what we want onto this but you just want to make sure that you keep it to that width of six and it's within the two score lines that that is you know where you're going to stamp your images and cut around them and that's what these bits are here they're all five inches wide and then the half inch tabs either side are what you use to actually stick it into this you know square here. Okay so I'm just going to lay down the ones that I have stamped here already just again so you kind of get an understanding so here you can see the score lines at half an inch and at five and a half there so if you imagine this was on here you can see I've stamped my image there and then I've just cut around it and then coloured it as normal. You can then stamp that one right above the lighthouse because you're always cutting around the top part and then if I wanted to I can bring in the stamp set here this is the one that I've used this actually was given as a freebie with any purchase that you made with craft stash a couple of weeks ago so you had to purchase on that day to get it but also if you subscribe or you've been a long-term subscriber to Creative Stamping magazine this was from Issue 72 and that's where I got my one from but I just thought it was a great one for this kind of you know style card and you have all these long kind of images so you can see the lighthouse one here which I've used you've also got the horizon with the sunset there and then on the backside here you've got the deck chairs which I've used you've got the lady sunbathing and then you have your beach huts which I haven't used at all but you do have this one I think I'm going to do this one as well which is again the kind of horizon line with the boats and I'm going to stamp the lady again for that other card now this one that I'm doing today I've coloured it slightly differently which some of you may notice and I've actually done it that she's just sunbathing on the grass just wanted to see how it looked because the idea with this one is that she's going to be like sat on the coast kind of like the cliff edge and well not the cliff edge you know what I mean we've got parts of this near where I live and it's quite nice to just sit out quite high up and look out to sea so that's what she's you know her view is going to be and then the next one I stamp is going to have I think this one here so the idea is is that those I'm going to probably have the boats a little bit over to that side so you can see them within this area and she will be looking out at that okay so that's the idea so I'm just going to stamp these just to show you how it works like I said it can be whatever you want as long if you're doing the size I'm doing as long as you've scored at half and at five and a half there between so I'm just going to pop this one into my platform and I'm going to stamp the girl now you can stamp her you know to the left or more to the right if you want to because on this one here I stamped her to the left and then on for this one today I'm actually going to have her more to the right because I want her to be here filling this kind of area so you know you can move your stamps across but I guess the key part for this kind of card with the stamped images is to think about your placement think about how they're going to kind of roughly look together you know and yeah then you'll be able to kind of make sure everything you're going to see all the elements like I said I want this here to be there so I'm not actually going to really stamp any of that so with this one here I'm actually going to come quite high up because the card the bottom of it is going to be hidden behind all of this here once I start building it hopefully it'll make more sense but I just wanted to show you different ways to use your stamps so I'm just going to pick that up and I've been using the Harmony by Spectrum Noir quick dry in the noir black because I'm just coloring with colored pencils but it's perfect because it is an instant you know it dries instantly whereas even like you're versifying I love versifying use it all the time but you you do have to wait you know just a couple of minutes until it's completely dry whereas with this it is instant so you can see the lovely images don't worry if you go over because you're going to be gluing those in so you're not going to see any of that but I am just going to just stamp it one more time like so there we go just get a bit more of a darker image now you would continue to stamp some more if that's what you wanted you know depending on how many you need and stuff I've also gone ahead and done these because I'm going to add them to the one that I've partially finished and also to today's one as well now I need to decide how tall I want that to be so if I imagine that's going to be like that she's going to be down here like so so I need to cut this about here I'm going to pop it in my trimmer and just cut it there now what I'm going to do is just you can cut it first if you want but I'm just going to kind of pretend that where I can see that the rest of the horizon you know I could just can draw the rest of that in with some black pen if I wanted to but the lighthouse is probably going to cover some of that but I'm just going to cut just along here and then start cutting around it with a bit of a white border I do like the white border you don't have to but whenever I fussy cut I do tend to leave that in there yes that's ready for me to color and then with her what I've been doing she has got this well I guess it's more the sound than it is grass but you can see it here and then this here is the horizon line of the sea that she's looking out to but I've actually been cutting that away and I've been cutting in from down here so you know you can change your stamps you don't have to have them exactly you know how they've kind of intended again just sniff away all the excess so it makes it easier to cut and then when you get to here you just kind of you know just I'm going to do a few little waves in my cuts there just so it's not completely straight and just kind of cut it off there and then I can kind of continue that black if I want to but now I know where to color but now that one once I've colored it in is going to slide just inside here just to finish this card off and I'll show you how to do it from scratch with the other one but you can see now you know she's looking out to the boats there in the in the distance I just think it's a really fun way to use the stamps and then on that one there she's over to the left and she's looking out that way so I just wanted to I cut a lot of them and prepared a lot of them you know for the live so I had these kind of leftover and then again this one now you can kind of you know pretend to kind of place it all down so you're going to have that one with that one and then that one something like that and they will all have a half inch gap in between each one when we stick them in okay so before I color those in so I'll pop that on high speed you want to get this piece and you need to cut your aperture now depending on your scene your theme all that kind of stuff you can have it any shape you want I'm just going to lay down this die here which is four and one eighths of an inch squared it's just from my nest of square dies four by four will be fine I wouldn't go any bigger because you can see the size of the frame that you get with that size you know if you start to go too thin it's going to be very flimsy but I have reinforced it with the frame here again I will show you that in a moment but I'm just going to sit this down in the center there and I'm just going to run that through my machine okay so just take that one away save that and now we've got our opening there and then you just want to very carefully just fold and burnish your score lines and then that five by five piece you'll actually want two pieces of five by five not the one because this one is going to go inside and we're going to stick those pieces like that and then you'll want another piece to cover that up now you could also stamp directly onto this ink it up all that great stuff and you could also use your pattern paper with this you may not want to do any stamping this is all pattern paper you might have lots of flowers all kinds of things inside there's you know loads of ways to make this work for your style but now I'm going to pop it on high speed and I'm just going to get these colored in okay so I've finished all of that and I've colored this one here I think it looks really nice so I'm just going to pop some glue on the tab here and I'm just going to add this to the card that I've almost finished this is just the last bit so I'm just going to pop it in and I'm going to line her up with the bottom of the card and I'm just I want it that same distance so the width of the tab you just butt it right up to that one there and then you can just stick them in and that way you get them equally distanced you know that half inches apart see each one there and there's that one now finished I think it looks really nice I love that one and then this one here so I mean if you want if you know where you're going to have them all then you know you could stick one in here on this side like so and then I can lay in fact we'll do that because I think I did say in the live that I do this one this way just because it might be a bit easier for people so I'm going to have now I do have a sentiment that I also want to stick onto the back of this which is going to be this one here and it's going to be there so you kind of need to like I said play around with your positioning because you want everything to obviously be seen so I can bring it down about there so I'm going to pop some glue onto this one side here so it's a bit of a funny one in terms of measurements and things because everybody's going to have a different image that they use but when you stick it in you want this to butt right up to the score line here and I think I'm going to stick it about there I think that'd be okay for my sentiment yeah that'd be fine so I'm just going to stick that one there so it lines up with that fold there okay then the next one again is going to sit half an inch in front of that one because that's how wide the tab is and I think that's about right there because you can see the the boats really nicely so again grab my glue this one in here and again it's really easy to do because you're just you're using the last one you stuck down as your guide and it keeps everything straight like so so now I've got those two in place okay and then we've just got to pop her in so I'm going to add my glue and you've still got time to trim if you need to I know I'm not going to need to trim her but she is now going to go in fact I'm going to line her up with the very bottom of the card still that half inch apart but the bottom is flush with the bottom of the card there like so I mean you could have these all the same you know length so they all line up with the bottom but you can see there once they all go over each other it really doesn't make any difference because you don't see any of that but I'm really pleased that I think it looks lovely it's a really nice seam and then all you need to do with this side is lie it all down flat if one looks like it's kind of going over into that area it shouldn't but I think I might have just maybe I don't know scored it a little bit wrong but just trim it but you want them to lie down like that so they all sit in front of each other add your glue to each half inch tab so it's just the same way that I make the pop-up box cards and I show that in many of the videos this is how I do it like so bring that over and that half just lie that on top and it because of the measurements and just how we've done it that will all sit perfectly within that section and that way it's a good indication that it's all going to fold flat as well and fit into your envelope so add that there and you can see that it literally falls perfectly in line with that score line there so now I can just bring it all over to the other side as well and now we've got our card isn't that cool I want to be her so now I want to stamp my sentiment so I think I'm actually going to use my stamping platform just so I can get a nice crisp image so this one here it's really nice this one says nothing soothes the soul like a walk on the beach so she's had a walk on the beach and she's now looking down over the beach because I'm going to put this little sign in here which you know indicates the beaches that way kind of thing so kind of sit it down here you're going to put the tabs on the back of it but it does just give me an idea of where I want that to go so just about there I think will be perfect and I'm just going to get that inked up okay I have to go over that side because there was a little hair stuck to the stamp and it got ink on it but I'm going to cover the other side anyway so you won't see it so rather than waste the card I'll just flip it over there we go now I'm just going to open up the sides here and I'm just going to add glue and then you're going to pop this one in make sure it's the right way obviously I've got my sentiment on that side as well we and just make sure it all lines up like so and now we've got that lovely sentiment inside and again just make sure the whole thing folds flat like so and then I've got this one here to get this I just die cut this smaller frame with the larger frame so you just get that inner frame again I'm just going to add my glue very carefully you don't have to do this but I do think it just helps just frame that whole scene like so and then it's just the details so I've got this one here as well okay so those are my finished box scene cards that's what I'm going to call this and I just love them I think they've turned out really really cool and I just like that you can do this with any stamp sets that you have you know have a look at what you've got and just build your scene it's entirely up to you what you do this could just be lots of flowers and leaves and things like that but um I do love these these stamps they work really well with it and I know some of the people that were watching the live had some other creative stamping magazine stamps and they're going to use them in this kind of style card so I look forward to seeing those over on the group so yeah that's it and what I've thought with this is what I'm going to do is cut another piece of the five by five to go on the back and that's where you'll write your message and then I'm going to pop the kite just up in the corner there so you know you can stamp on the back you can obviously do a lot more with it if you want but um yeah and I'll finish it off with some glossy accents like I did there you can see where it catches the light and I think it looks really nice there we go I love that so hope you've enjoyed it if you have please give me a thumbs up and um consider subscribing to my channel and I'll be back very soon with another video bye
