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.

  • Last of the amazing swaps by my Flowerbug’s Team; Black & White with a ‘pop’ of color!


    Today's post features the rest of the Team swaps.  Our theme was Black & White with a 'POP' of color.  I love this theme so much; adding a bit of Black on a card provides a wonderful contrast to other colors and attracts the eye. 

    The first card was made by Candace; she used the Kite Delight stamp set along with Highland Heather, Granny Apple Green & So Saffron.  See the set here. 

    She stamped her background and then stamped and fussy cut the kits separately to pop them up on the card.  Her greeting is heat embossed with White embossing powder on the Black CS strip.  Beautiful! 

    Tammi made the next one featuring the happy color combo of Magenta Madness & a bit of Granny Apple Green.  

    The stamped images are from Hello Ladybug; after stamping on the die-cut scalloped circle she used the Tasteful Textile embossing folder.

    The Black & White patterned paper is from the Pattern Party DSP – a host paper you can get FREE with host benefits.  Once your order goes over the $150 mark you can choose free product!  This amazing pack of paper has 40 12 X 12" sheets and is just $18. See it here. 

    Marilyn made this pretty card using Daffodil Delight.  

    She die-cut the flower 'window' from the White 'Stitched So Sweetly' die-cut (largest one in the set) to reveal the dotted designer paper underneath.  This die is from the Meadow dies seen here.  The polka dot DSP is also Pattern Party host paper.

    She colored the white seam binding ribbon yellow with a Daffodil Blends marker. Her greeting is from the Sharing Sunshine stamp set. 

    The greeting is on a 'Stitched So Sweetly' die-cut too.  These dies are retiring!  I'm so sad; they are one of my favorite 'go to' dies for labels and layers.  See them here. 

    Next is a fun fold card made by Jacki using a striking pop of Red for this wedding card. 

    The greeting is from the Celebrating You stamp set in the Jan-June mini catalog; see it here.  Again her DSP is the host Pattern Party; can you tell we love this pack!!?  The hearts are both punches in the Annual Catalog.  They are returning in the new annual catalog.  

    Her measurements are:

    • Black card base 5 1/2" X 11", scored at 1 1/4", 3 3/8", 7 5/8" & 9 3/4"
    • DSP front dots – 2 pieces at 1" X 5 1/4", front hatch design – 2 pieces at 1 3/4" X 5 1/4"
    • White layers under dots – 2 pieces 1 1/8" X 5 3/8", under hatch design – 2 pieces at 1 7/8" X 5 3/8", White inside 4" X 5 1/4"
    • Black belly band 1" X 9 1/2" 

    Next is a Tracey's card featuring the pretty In Color of Polished Pink. 

    She used the Artistic dies for the beautiful Black die-cut. She stamped images from the Artistically Inked stamp set under the die-cuts for a neat watercolor look.  The stamp & dies will be returning in the new catalog but they will not be in a bundle at 10% off then.  

    Her White layer is textured with the Gingham embossing folder from the Jan-June mini catalog; see it here.

  • Matchbook Cards on tonight’s FB Live! An easy fun fold showing off your DSP


    We made these neat fun fold 'matchbook' cards on Facebook Live last week.  They're so neat and really show off your DSP.  

    Does it remind you of the old fashioned books of matches?  See how it tucks in to the bottom flap?  

    I am featuring the Flowering Tulips stamp set & Flowering Fields designer series paper here.  It's so pretty and spring-like.  

    The Live video is at 7:30 pm CT here on my Facebook page. If you aren't following me yet, be sure to do that so you don't miss the 6 videos I do each month.  

    The 2nd & 4th Monday night videos are 'Stamp with Me' videos where I encourage you to prep your pieces and create right along with me. I share the measurements & supplies needed a day or two ahead of time on my FB page here. Of course you can choose to watch first and make yours later too.  

    Here's a photo of them laying flat.  My colors include Pool Party, Poppy Parade, Old Olive on the left card.  The card on the right is Fresh Freesia, Rich Razzleberry & Shaded Spruce.  

    The dies for the greetings are the Layering Circles, Tasteful Labels and Beautiful Shapes dies.  

    Measurements:

    • Card base 4 1/4" X 6 1/2" scored at 5 1/2"
    • DSP 3 3/4" X 5 3/4" scored at 4 5/8", 3/4" X 4" lower strip
    • CS layer 4" X 5"
