Free-form waves using the Floating Technique


We made this gorgeous 'wave' card at a Team meeting last month.  I used the Waves of Inspiration bundle and a Blending Brush for the sky. 

The colors are Bermuda Bay, Pacific Point and White.  See those gorgeous gems?  They're called Rhinestone Waves Basic Jewels and there are 168 in a package for just $6.50!  See them here. 

I had a bunch of curvy foil pieces left over after die-cutting a bunch of these waves from the two blue colors in the Blue Foil paper seen here.  I challenged myself to use them and came up with a free-form wave using the Floating Technique.  

I adhered various die-cut foil pieces to a Window Sheet using Multipurpose liquid glue and added them to the card with Stampin' Dimensionals.  This take a bit of patience as you can imagine!    

Here are some tips to achieve this:

  • It's best if you start at the bottom and add just a few pieces. Let it set to dry. 
  • Adding a weight over them while they dry helps keep them flat. The foil likes to curl up.
  • Next form the top of the wave.  I used one of the long curved pieces for this.  
  • Add just a few pieces at a time and let them dry.  They slide easily!
  • Fill in the center of the wave a few at a time. Again, add weight over it all to set & dry.  
  • Trim off the sides of the Window sheet at 4" to fit the White layer. I fussy cut the top to match the foil wave.  
  • I adhered it to the textured 'Bark 3D' White 4" X 5 1/4" piece of CS with mini dimensionals.  

This card is part of my Waves of Inspiration tutorial and video with 11 projects!  This is available to anyone who purchases the Waves of the Ocean Collection from me or purchases my Waves of Inspiration kit to go.

    8 of these 10 cards are fancy folds and with the tutorial you'll have measurements to make more using other products.  


    You will need your own stamps, ink, adhesive and a paper trimmer to cut your new designer paper using the measurements provided in the tutorial.  Everything else is cut & prepped for you.

  • Poppin’ Pastels Technique with Delicate Dahlia


    If you've been a stamper for awhile you've likely played with chalks and the Poppin' Pastel technique.  If not, check this out!  

    You'll need just a few supplies – Chalks, Versamark ink and sponge daubers. Well, card stock too! 

    Tip – choose a solid image with a full surface.  Outline images won't work as well here. 

    Here's how it's done:

    1. Ink your image in Versamark ink and stamp on card stock. 
    2. Dab your sponge dauber in chalk (if it's firm like our new Soft Pastels you may need to scrape some off & use the dust *watch the video below).
    3. Dab over your stamped image repeatedly. Do not rub on the outer edges or it may show outside of your stamped area. 
    4. Blow or dust off excess chalk.  Done!  

    Here's the video:
