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.

3 completely different cards with the Friendly Hello bundle; WOW!

January 21, 2022
Our Sale-a-Bration promotion is everyone's favorite time of year; who doesn't love to get something free?!

This year our product line includes a stamp set & 12 X 12" designer paper combo called Friendly Hello. I love both the stamps and the DSP. The stamps include floral, botanical and greeting images and the paper can be either soft & pretty or bright & eye catching!

Save

Look at these three extremely different cards all featuring the same stamps & DSP:

Save

This card is one I made for an online swap I participated in. I chose to use the Granny Apple Green sheet of DSP and paired it with Black & White. It's a simple layout that really shows off the colors & products.

Details:
- The greeting is stamped onto a die-cut from the Hippo & Friends die.
- That delicate leaf die-cut is from the Tropical Layers dies in the Jan-June catalog.
- The butterfly is from the Catching Butterflies Sale-a-Bration stamp set.
Next is a pretty swap Ginny made but so much softer in colors.

Save

She covered the entire card front with her Designer Paper and added a banner from another sheet of the DSP under the main White scalloped piece. She stamped in Gray Granite and colored in the bird & flowers with Blends markers.

Lastly today is another card I made for a swap. I paired the Pool Party sheet of this Designer Paper with Early Espresso. I've always loved these colors together. I stamped the flowers in Early Espresso ink onto our Vellum card stock and immediately heat embossed with clear embossing powder. Yes you CAN emboss with our Classic ink pads!

Save

I textured the Pool Party card stock with the new Gingham embossing folder and rounded the upper right corner. I also cut our new frayed 3/4" White ribbon in half lengthwise and wrapped it round the left edge of the card stock.

Thanks so much for stopping in to see my projects today! If you want to get this pretty pack of Designer Paper & the Friendly Hello stamp set click here to see it. It's free with any $100 purchase right now!

Pretty Botanical swap cards; all Monochromatic!

January 20, 2022

This week I'm showcasing my talented Flowerbug's Team swaps with their monochromatic cards.

First up is Karen's card; she used the Amazing Silhouettes stamp set; seen here in the new Jan-June catalog.

Save

She stamped the floral image three times on her White CS using Evening Evergreen ink. The last one is stamped on Vellum and fussy cut. She added a double tag die-cut from the Tailored Tags dies along with a bow in Soft Succulent ribbon.

Next is a pretty card in Fresh Freesia made by Paula S. She used a favorite stamp set of mine; the Queen Anne's Lace stamp set, along with some sponging and distressing of the edges.

Save

Our In Color sheer ribbon is wonderful; easy to work with, soft & lovely!

Next is a pretty & very detailed card made by Sharon. She used Soft Succulent with Evening Evergreen and the Ever Eden specialty designer paper.
Save

She created double stitched window frames with the Stitched Rectangle dies. They're adhered over a scalloped rectangle made with the Stitched So Sweetly dies. Her leaves are die-cut from our Shimmer In Color Vellum using the Forever Flourishing dies. The greeting is from the Prized Peony stamp set.

Stop in for more Monochromatic card swaps tomorrow!
