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.

  • Get great ideas with the Last bunch of the amazing In Color card swaps!


    I've shared my Flowerbugs Team In Color card swaps the last few days and today is the last bunch. I hope you're been enjoying them.  They really are the best stampers!  

    The guidelines for this month's Team swap was to use at least 2 new In Colors on our card.  

    This first one was made by Candace who used 4 out of 5 of the new In Colors!  Look at this fun layout! 

    She used the Sweetest Cherries bundle, the 6 X 6" pack of In Color DSP and the Stylish Shapes dies seen here.  Her card base is Parakeet Party and the next layer is Starry Sky.  Super cute!

    Next up is an adorable card made by Deloris who used the Sweet Songbird bundle.  

    She used Tahitian Tide, Sweet Sorbet and a bit of Parakeet Party for the leaves.  I love this sweet bundle!  

    Lastly is a fun layout Karen made using the Rectangular Postage punch.  Her colors include Sweet Sorbet & Starry Sky. 

    I love how she added the greeting with the same punch as the first 4 but turned horizontally.  What a fun card layout this is!

    I hope you've enjoyed all of the card ideas with our newest In Color cards.  See the first set here and the second here.

  • 2nd set of Incredible In Color card swaps by the Flowerbugs


    Yesterday I shared the first set of In Color card swaps by my Flowerbug's Team and today I'm sharing more. 

    The first card is a fun fold card made by Karen A.  This is such an easy fold as it's just adding one score line to your standard card.

    She chose to use the Nothing's Better Than stamp set. Her colors include Sweet Sorbet & Parakeet Party with a bit of Early Espresso & Crumb Cake for the greeting & cookies.

    For your card base of 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" score at 1 1/4" and 4 1/4".  The Designer paper is from the In Color prints pack and measure 2 3/4" and 1" X 5 1/4" tall on both the front and inside of the card.  The inside White is 2 3/4" X 5 1/4". 

    Her front greeting elements include the new Decorative Circle punch seen here and the stitched circle die-cut from the Stylish Shapes dies. 

    Next up – Annette used the same stamp set; 'Nothing's Better Than'. It coordinates with the Love you More Than dies.  Her colors include Sweet Sorbet and Black with just a bit of Parakeet Party, Tahitian Tide & Orchid Oasis for her coloring.  

    She textured her Sweet Sorbet designer paper with the Timeworn Type embossing folder.  

    The tag dies are the Tailor Made Tags dies seen here.  

    Next is a fun fold card made by Marilyn featuring the Cup of Tea bundle.  Her main colors include Starry Sky and Parakeet Party.  

    She used the Layering Circles and Stylish Shapes dies for her circle element.  The pretty texture is the Quatrefoil Tile embossing folder seen here.  

    Her measurements are:

    • Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 2 1/2" & 6 1/2" 
    • DSP  5 1/4" X 2 1/4" 
    • textured layer 5 1/4" X 1 3/4"
    • inside White is 3 1/2" X 4 5/8" 

     

    The last card I'm sharing today was made by Miles & Laura and features the Flowers & Leaves punch and the 6 X 6" In Color designer series paper.  Isn't it fun!?!

    I'll be back with the last set of wonderful swap cards tomorrow!

  • 1st set of Amazing In Color card swaps!


    Last weekend our Flowerbug's Team met and swapped cards featuring at least 2 in colors.  I can't wait for you to see them all; they're fabulous! 

    This first card was made by Jacki featuring two punches!  The Ladybug Builder and Medium Daisy punch.  

    Here in colors include Tahitian Tide, Parakeet Party & Orchid Oasis.  She also used the Painted Texture embossing folder on her White layer.  

    Next is a card made by Mary.  She used the Framed Occasions stamp set in Parakeet Party and Orchid Oasis. 

    This stamp set coordinates with the Beautiful Shapes dies.  The Designer paper is the Tea Boutique DSP.  

    Deloris made this vibrant card with the Amazing Year stamp set.  Her in colors include Parakeet Party and Tahitian Tide. 

    She used the new Stylish Shapes dies and the Hive 3D embossing folder.  I believe she colored in the image with Blends markers. 

    Lastly is a card made by Tracey; she featured a bunch of the new In Colors along with Crushed Curry.

    Her card includes stamps from the Color & Contour stamp set and the Scalloped Contour dies that coordinate with it.  

    I'll be back with another set of wonderful swap cards tomorrow!
