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. 

Waves 1a Save

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. 

RHINESTONE WAVES BASIC JEWELS Save

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.

  • Team Card swaps with a Clean & Simple theme

    This week I'm sharing our Team card swaps from March.  Our theme was Clean & Simple which can be a challenge for some. We also couldn't use any designer series paper! 

    First up is a stunning card made by Deloris.  

    March Deloris Save

    She masked her White card stock to sponge yellow & blue ink to create a pretty background for the floral stamp.  This flower is from the Spotlight on Nature stamp set.  Her card also has 3 layers of White – the bottom layer is textured.  Gorgeous!

    Ginny also used the Spotlight on Nature stamp set on her beautiful card:

    March Ginny Save

    She used Petunia Pop with Granny Apple green and popped up her flowers on Dimensionals.  Well done!  

    Kim is a first time swapper in our group and did a great job on her card: 

    March Kim Save

    She used the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set and the Exposed Brick 3D embossing folder here.  Her colors include Fresh Freesia and Blackberry Bliss. Sweet & simple!  Good job Kim!

    Candy made this adorable card with the Resourceful Rusty stamp set.  

    March Candy Save

    Her colors include Gray Granite, Real Red, & Balmy Blue.  She trimmed off half of her card front so the circle dies & main image hang over. 

    Other products include: New Mini Corrugated embossing folder, New Textured Notes dies, Stylish Shapes and Spotlight on Nature dies. Blends markers for coloring.  Love that tail!  

    More swaps will be shared tomorrow!

    The stitched die-cut I used on the DSP is from the new Textured Notes dies seen here.  I love these!  I bet they'll sell fast!

    In the photo below you can see how this card opens. The DSP measures 6" side and 7 1/4" tall and is scored at 2" from the upper and left sides.  Then fold it at an angle matching up the score lines.  Watch the video below to understand this.

  • Pretty Center pop-out fun fold card with free project sheet & video tutorial

    I'm so excited to share this super neat fun fold card with you today!  It's called a Center Pop-out fun fold.  I found this neat fold from my friend Terri Gaines. 

    Thankful Garden Melon Save

    I chose to feature the Thankful Garden bundle seen here and the Lovely Garden Designer paper seen here. 

    THANKFUL GARDEN BUNDLE (ENGLISH) Save

    I love these stencils!  They are so easy to work with. Watch the video below for a special tip on lining them up.

    This card looks like it might be hard to assemble but with the center 'brace' that helps the center panel pop out it's quite simple.  It will really help you understand how to make it if you watch the video tutorial below. 

    Thankful Garden Melon Save

    My colors include Melon Mambo with Blueberry Bushel. Here's how the card looks with the inside brace added before I adhered the center panel:

    I made the yellow/green version on the video to show a different color combo.

    I colored the flowers by using the stencils included in the bundle. So easy and makes you look like a true artist with the high and low lights added with blending brushes.
