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.

  • Easy but adorable Hello Ladybug Cards Kit to go


    My Flowerbug's and I held a Zoom meeting last week and we all made versions of my Easy 8 Card Wonder.  I chose to use the Hello Ladybug stamp set for mine.  

    My colors are Coastal Cabana, Granny Apple Green, Real Red & Black.  My Easy 8 Card Wonder template takes the guesswork our of creating.  

    Here is how I prepped for the Zoom.  I chose my colors, printed the template on White CS, grabbed my card stock & bags of scraps and stamped a few greeting tags.  

    I loved the cards so much I'm offering them as a kit to go in February.  One Sheet Wonders truly make it easy to create beautiful cards quickly. 

    This kit is $38 with shipping & includes the following:

    • the Hello Ladybug photopolymer stamp set
    • the printed OSW template on 8 1/2" X 11" White card stock (cut on the printed lines!)
    • all pre-cut & punched pieces for the 8 finished cards
    • the PDF tutorial ($15 value)

    It does not include stamped images or textured CS. You will need inks, adhesives, gems & a paper trimmer to finish them. 

    Optional add-ons:
    Add the Ladybug Punch to your kit and save 10% ($54 with punch). If you add on another $20 in product you can choose a free Sale-a-Bration choice!

  • Easel Calendar with a post-it note box; a fabulous gift idea


    I love these Easel calendars; they're a great gift and actually fun to make too.  I was inspired by my friend Melissa's project; see it here.  

    Easel Calendar card measurements

    • Card base 4 ¼” X 11” scored at 5 ½”.
    • Easel 4” X 4” scored at ½”, 2” & 3 ½”
    • DSP 4” X 5 ¼” (or 3 1/2" X 5 1/4" on the above project)
    • Note box 4” X 5 1/8” scored at 3/8” on the short side.  On the long side score at 2 3/8” & 2 ¾”

    Here are some details:

    • The unique scallop edges & cute tag are both made with the Brilliant Rainbow dies – it's part of the Rainbow of Happiness bundle. 
    • The large clouds are punched with our new Cloud Punch. One is punched from the Supple Shimmer specialty paper and the other from the Sunshine & Rainbows DSP/ It's free during our Sale-a-Bration promotion. See it here. 
    • The bright striped paper is also from our Sunshine & Rainbows DSP
    • The card stock colors are Bermuda Bay & Melon Mambo
    • The calendars were purchased from Taylored Expressions. 

    Here are the other two I shared using the Friendly Hello bundle from our Sale-a-Bration promotion:

      

    Totally different looks from the same Friendly Hello designer paper.  You can go soft or bold with it! 

    On the top right I added the stamped image from the Friendly Hello stamp set (part of the free bundle during SAB) and on the top left I added a few die-cuts from the Tropical Layers dies seen here.  I think they coordinate wonderfully.  

    *I'll be giving away two easel calendar kits with online orders in February. Details tomorrow!

  • Easel Calendar with a post it box; made by Melissa


    I LOVE sharing what my friends make.  Shout out to Melissa who made this adorable, bright & happy Easel Calendar for her club friends this month.  

    She searched for a tutorial and actually found one I did last year!  She added a box for a pack of post-it notes too!  

    She used the Pattern Party host paper seen here or on page 171 of our Annual catalog.  I always encourage my hostesses to choose this paper; it's the BEST deal! It's valued at $30 but hostesses can choose it for just $18 as part of their hostess benefits. Tip: Everyone earns free benefits on orders over $150; even Demonstrators! 

    This is the type of information I want you to know before placing an order.  I want to maximize your value and get you the best deal on our products that I can! *please contact me before ordering so I can help you!

    It's a huge pack of 48 12 X 12" sheets with fun, colorful patterns on one side & Black & White on the other.  It's my favorite DSP in the whole book!  

    Measurements are below.  Or watch the video here.
