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.

  • Lots of product displays from my New Catalog Launch party!


    I held my New Catalog launch party on Saturday and today I'm sharing some of the displays I had for my customers. It was a cold day here but I still had a decent turnout. I wish I had taken photos of the food but I forgot. 

    This table above is my Sale-a-Bration display. I laid out the many products and projects I had to show what can be done with this year's Sale-a-Bration items.  

    This next view of of this same table. 

    Next is 3 boards featuring products from the 2025 Spring catalog. 

    Most of these were received from swapping with my stamping friends. 

    From left to right, this board features the Friends of the Ocean suite, center is the With you in Mind stamp set, upper middle is the Darling Dino, upper left is the Terrific Toadstools, lower right is the Floral Delight& Darling Wishes. 

    This next board features the Memorable Blooms on the lower left, the Wildflower Birthday at the top and the To the Point punch projects on the lower right. 

    This final board features the One More Year on the top left, Storybook Moments on the lower left, the Linked Together at the upper right and the Beautiful Butterflies on the lower right.

  • Terrific Toadstools fancy fold card


    Today I'm sharing a fabulous fancy fold card Lori made for our Team Sale-a-Bration card swap.  She used the Terrific Toadstools bundle. 

    It's a little deceptive but it is a fun fold card; one I haven't seen before too!  Her colors include Melon Mambo, Fresh Freesia, Early Espresso and Granny Apple Green.

    The Terrific Toadstools bundle from the Spring catalog coordinates with the Toadstool Gardens DSP from the Sale-a-Bration catalog. This DSP is free with any $60 purchase from Stampin' Up. 

    She used a bunch of NEW products; here's the list:

    • Terrific Toadstool bundle seen here
    • Toadstool Gardens 6 X 6" DSP from the  Sale-a-Bration catalog seen here
    • Spotlight on Nature dies seen here
    • Fresh Freesia seam binding ribbon (SAB catalog) seen here
    • Starstruck embossing folder on the upper flap (SAB catalog) seen here

     

    Below you can see the gatefold and the cute flap that folds down over the front.  She created an amazing card showcasing a ton of new products here! See measurements below. 

    Measurements:

    • Card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" scored at 2 1/8" from each side
    • DSP – 1 7/8" X 5 3/8" for front and inside
    • White inside 3 1/2" X 4 3/4"
    • upper strip for flap 1" X 3" scored at 2"

    I'll share more team Sale-a-Bration swaps next week.

  • Corners in Bloom fun fold card


    I made this card for our monthly team swap using the Corners in Bloom stamp set. 

    I colored the flowers in with Blends markers in Melon Mambo, Peach Pie & Granny Apple Green. The pretty greeting and die-cut are from the Mixed Labels bundle seen here. 

    I added the new Bloom Impressions designer paper on the left side; a free choice with a $60 order during Sale-a-Bration.

    This pretty Corners in Bloom stamp set is also free during SAB (Sale-a-Bration) – with any $120 order.  There are lots of choices you can earn free through February 28th. 

    We haven't had many corner shaped stamps for a long time and now we have two!  I love the many options you have with these line art stamps. 

    My colors include Peach Pie with Melon Mambo & Black. This fun fold is called a 'Joy' fold where the two flaps overlap each other. It was perfect for this stamped frame.
