Floating Panel card with video – so cool but incredibly easy!

March 2, 2023

On a recent FB Live class we made Floating Panel cards like this one made with the Best Day stamp set from the January-April catalog. Click here to see the cute Best Day stamp set.

See how the card front is folded in half but the panel is straight? There's a neat, easy way to do that by adding two little pieces of card stock. Each strip is folded in half and positioned on both the top panel and the card base. See the other photo below to understand it. Or watch the video here.

I also used the Dandy Designs designer paper from our Sale-a-Bration promotion. Sadly that is now over; it ended February 28th.

My colors on the card above are Black, Mango Melody & Polished Pink. I used Blends markers to color the cat image. I added Wink of Stella for some shimmer as well.

Floating Panel measurements:

card base – 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" score at 2 1/8" & 4 1/4"
DSP 2 pieces at 2" X 5 1/4"
White scalloped (Scalloped Contours die) die-cut is 2 1/2" X 3 3/4"
CS layer is 2 5/8" X 3 7/8"
two strips 1/2" X 1 3/4" for floating mechanism

I used the Best Day stamp set here; it's adorable with lots of birthday images and greetings. It's in the Jan-June catalog and you can see it here.

You can see how the two folded strips are added to the front center fold below:

I stamped the inside with images from the Best Day stamp set, adding some colored rhinestones to help the card stay open and in place. Honestly a die-cut or punch would work better than a rhinestone.

Save

I chose a few green/blue tones to stamp the same leaf image – Bermuda Bay, Granny Apple Green & Just Jade. After stamping on the 1 3/4" X 2 3/4" White pieces I added texture with the new set of embossing folders called Stripes & Splatters 3D in the new Spring catalog. See them here. I did heat emboss the greetings with White embossing powder also.

Save

The pretty embellishments are called Faux Sea Glass Shapes. They are available here in the new 2022 Jan-June Spring catalog.

Which layout do you prefer? Vertical or horizontal?

Easy idea with your leftover paper strips with Artfully Layered

January 5, 2022

I had a bunch of leftover Just Jade card stock strips I was determined to use. I believe it was from a fun fold card I offered in one of my kits to go. Luckily inspiration struck and I created this neat card for an online swap I participated in. I love it!

Save

I used the new bundle called Artfully Layered stamping the largest leaf multiple times in Just Jade ink. The botanical images, dies and super fun greetings in this bundle were one of my top picks from the new 2022 Jan-June Stampin' Up! catalog. You can see this bundle here.

Save

Each of the strips are 1" X 3 1/4" and they are adhered to a White piece measuring 3 3/4" X 5". I adhered them so they did not match up purposefully. You could also stamp them as shown and place them onto the card in order.

Simply add a greeting and a punch or die-cut. I LOVE when I can use leftovers to create wonderful cards easily.

Save

The greeting die-cut is from the Beautiful Shapes dies seen here. They include circles, hexagons, a few odd shapes & triangles. They're fun, modern & unique!
