Free-form waves using the Floating Technique

March 15, 2022

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.

Save

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.

Yesterday I shared one version of this card and here is the other. I had extra background pieces stamped so I tried something else.

I used the same dies; but added the So Sentimental stamp set for the greeting above.

And here is the first version: Which do you prefer? This (above) or that (below)?

Sending Positive Thoughts; love this new stamp set!

January 10, 2020

This Positive Thoughts stamp set seems to be a 'sleeper' to some people but it caught my eye right away! Everyone asked where the stamp set was when they saw my cards.

Save

I knew I could make pretty cards with the images; the leaves, flower and feather are perfect with lots of fine details. But the greetings; they are some I will definitely get a lot of use of.

This soft, botanical card is one I made for an online swap I participated in. I used Mint Macaron, Pretty Peacock and of course the pretty Petal Pink. The new champagne rhinestones and Petal Pink/Champagne ribbon was color inspiration.

I also used the new Stitched So Sweetly dies; my top pick in the entire new catalog! See them here.

Save

I'll share a second version of this card with you tomorrow.

Two ‘WOW’ technique cards with video

January 9, 2020
This week's Facebook Live video featured two 'over the top' technique cards. I uploaded it on YouTube so everyone could see it whether you're on Facebook or not. (scroll down to see the video)

If you are on FB be sure to follow my page so you catch each week's video on Tuesday's at 11 am CT. Here's the link to my page: www.facebook.com/flowerbugsinkspot

The left card is a shaker card; they're very special and interactive. And not hard at all! Using Window sheets and our Foam Adhesive strips sure make it easy! I used the following products: (click on each one)
The card on the right is stitched with our metallic thread; basically like string art. If you like to cross stitch you will like this fun technique. I timed it and it took me about 8 minutes to finish one heart.

The Heart Doilies make it super simple. I used these products on this card:
The greeting on the Valentine's card is from the Heart to Heart stamp set. I chose to order this one because it's not just for Valentine's Day but it does includes the greeting. That makes it very versatile to me.
