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

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.

    I've shared this fun fold card before but using the Woven Textures and Country Woods DSP put them over the top in my opinion!

    The Father's Day greeting is from the Gone Fishing stamp set.  The hearts are from the Friends for Life dies.  

    You can see the inside view of the Father's Day card below. I used the Spring Corners stamp set for accents.

    Here's a close-up of the Birthday version. The star dies are from the Wanted to Say dies seen here.  Love these!  Of course the Nested Essential dies are perfect for the layered greetings here.

    Below is the inside of the birthday card. I used the Layered with Love stamp set for the little presents border.

    There is a 7 1/2" X 1" scored brace that creates the pop-up effect when the card is opened.  Otherwise it lays perfectly flat for mailing and is an A2 size card.

  • Freestyle Creativity with ephemera & leftovers!

    Have you ever gathered some of your extra die-cuts and layers and just played?  We did this at my Team Meeting this weekend and they loved it!  

    I put out lots of extra die-cuts and layers plus the Fully Flowering and Greetings for All ephemera plus the Stripes & Florals cards and envelopes and they had fun making their style of cards.  These are mine:

    Here are each of them below.  The left two include some ephemera and the right two feature dies and greetings I had on hand.

    I found that layering dies and ephemera onto another layer like the white die-cut above or the Lemon Lolly & Black DSP layers below helps anchor them.

    The colors in the Stripes & Florals cards and envelopes are Balmy Blue & Bubble Bath.  Nice soft colors you can accent easily.

    You can find each of these kits and many more on this link.  Even though I am an experienced crafter I love working with kits.  It's a lovely break from thinking and planning.  But if I want to be creative I can still jazz up the kits.

    My favorite is the Paper Bouquet kit.  I ordered two – one for my daughter for Mother's Day.  What a perfect gift!
