A simple trick makes this Floating Pop-Up card work; with measurements & video!

April 19, 2022

This special fancy fold card is super unique and makes you wonder just how it's sort of floating! You will be shocked at what it takes to make it work.

I used the Crane of Fortune bundle to create this card. The colors are so soft & pretty – Gray Granite, Calypso Coral, White & Early Espresso.

The front panel flips up as you open the card and it even wobbles a bit. You can see how it works in the video, or scroll down to the next photo.

I stamped the main image on a die-cut from the Stitched So Sweetly dies. They are on the retiring list; so if you don't have them yet you know what you need to do!

The Good Fortune dies include the pretty leaves I used to hold my card open. When doing this be sure to add Dimensionals under the image to support the card open.

You need two little pieces of card stock under the front layers to make the pop-up work. Mine are 1/2" X 2 1/2" but size really does not matter here. Just fold them in half and secure one side to the card base and the other to the top layer. Do this on each side of the front panel. Again, please watch the video here to see how it works.

The easy way to do the Whitewashing Technique; with video

February 8, 2022
I've been playing with the Whitewashing Technique lately. Today I'm sharing a card I made on Facebook Live with the Honeybee Home bundle.

Save
You can see another group of cards I used this technique on here.

Save

Please watch the video to see how to do this. Here are some tips:
- I stamped the main image using Gorgeous Grape ink onto the same color card stock.
- Let it dry a bit and color the image in with White Craft ink and a water painter brush.
- If you want to see the stamped image you'll want to use a light amount of White Craft ink.
- I add water to some White Craft ink in a puddle and use that to 'paint'.
- You can paint with strokes to indicate lines on your image.
Save

I used the Heart & Home doilies under the Tasteful Label die-cut.

The background paper is the Simply Marbelous Sale-a-Bration DSP that I added a bit of Highland Heather ink to.

Here's the video! Click on the picture below to watch it. The Whitewashing Technique is the 2nd project I share.
