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.

  • Quick & beautiful cards for any occasion with the New Horizon suite.


    If your style is clean and simple I have the perfect card layout for you! Look at these gorgeous cards!

    I stamped a few of the images from the On the Horizon stamp set here.  I used the birds a lot!  They add a peaceful 'movement' to the card.

    I used a version of my 5 at a time template for the card stock layers for these cards.  I use this often for the inside of my cards; especially if I need a white piece.  When making multiple cards it sure is nice to get 5 pieces from an 8 1/2" X 11" sheet instead of just 4.  I get a lot of people who ask me about this template.  If you like it I suggest you save it and either print it out or save on your computer for easy reference.  

    If you look closely at the cards with the trio of trees on them you'll see a 'watery' reflection. It's so easy with this New Horizon Designer Series Paper.  I shared how in the video here. 

    The New Horizons paper is on low inventory at this time. If they run out the item will be shut off until they restock.  

    Here's how this simple reflection is done. 

    1. Stamp the tree on the horizon line using full ink.
    2. Do not ink again. 
    3. Turn the stamp upside down and simply stamp under the first image.  Easy, instant reflection.  

    Measurements:

    • White card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored in half at 5 1/2"
    • Designer paper 3" X 4 1/2"
    • Card stock layer 3 1/8" X 4 5/8"
    • greeting strips 5/8" X 3"

  • Waves of Inspiration scene with masking & blending techniques


    I made this card for an online swap I participated in last month.  When I create for a swap I tend to make a few different cards and decide which one I'll use for the swap.  Well once I made this one the decision was made!  

    Although after stamping, masking, blending and sponging over 20 cards I was regretting my decision! But I am proud of it so it was worth my efforts.  

    This card is part of my Waves of Inspiration kit to go this month.  I share how to make it in the video and it's also part of the pre-cut kit to go as well.

    I know some of my customers have been waiting for me to create a new bunch of scrapbook layouts.  I thought the Pattern Party host designer paper was a perfect starting point.  Then I added elements from the What a Year Memories & More card pack.  Perfect match up!  Look: 

    There are 6 fun, colorful double scrapbook layouts in this kit to go. (the white photo mats are where you photos will be) 

    Each layout includes two 12 X 12 pages featuring a variety of celebratory occasions.  You have a choice of the PDF tutorial or a pre-cut kit to go. 

    Here's one of the striking layouts. 


    Pre-order this kit by March 17th and it will be mailed out at the end of March.  The PDF tutorial is sent in an email immediately after payment. 


    The kit to go includes the following:

    • 6 double layouts (12 pages) with pre-cut and punched pieces
    • What a Year Memories & More card pack.  You'll use these cards for titles, layers and other elements on your page layouts.
