How to achieve the Floating Technique? Lots of examples!


Our current Team creative challenge for my Flowerbug's group is to make a card using the Floating Technique.  It's a fun technique that uses a window sheet or transparency.  

Here are some of mine I shared on a recent Facebook Live video you can see here. 

This first one features Black & White with a 'pop' of color – Magenta Madness in this case. Magenta Madness is retiring next week!   

I used the Dandy Wishes dies and the Layering Circles dies here.  I adhered a bunch of strips of the All Together designer paper to a window sheet, leaving space between them.  I cut it out with the largest circle in the set and popped it up on a Gingham textured White layer. 

I added die-cuts from the neat Dandy Wishes dies and a heat embossed image from the Garden Wishes stamp set. This set is in a bundle with the Dandy Wishes dies and on sale in March!  See it here. 

This next card features Misty Moonlight and the Abstract Beauty DSP.  I cut the feathers from this pretty DSP that has touches of Gold on it using the Iconic dies seen here.  

For this card the window sheet is a simple rectangle.  After adding the feathers I trimmed off the excess and added it to the card with mini dimensionals.  

Other details: 

  • the greeting die-cuts are the Amazing Thanks dies seen here.
  • The textured White layer is done with the Bark 3D embossing folder.
  • That strip of gold & white strips is also from the Abstract Beauty DSP. 
  • Colors are Gold, White, Misty Moonlight and Night of Navy

Next is a card done in purples – Fresh Freesia, Highland Heather & Gorgeous Grape.  

Details:

  • Layering Circle & Amazing Thanks dies
  • Greeting stamped from Special Moments SAB set
  • Texture is Hive 3D folder seen here 
  • Basic Rhinestone jewels were colored purple with Blends markers 

This next sample features the Artistic dies along with the SAB Simply Marbelous DSP. 

Colors are Basic Gray, White & Black; very monochromatic.  The greeting is from Friendly Hello SAB set, heat embossed.  

Tip; to adhere the finely cut die-cut pieces I used our Adhesive Sheets seen here.  They're the best solution for these types of die-cuts. 

You can see how I achieved these cards on the link below; just click on the photo to watch.

  • Fun Summery card swaps by my Team


    This week I've been sharing our July card swaps made by my Flowerbug's Team.  Our theme was thank you cards without flowers. 

    Roxann made this adorable card with the Round we Go bundle:

    See the Round we Go bundle here. Her background paper is from the Country Woods DSP seen here. Her colors are Smoky Slate, Petal Pink and Pool Party with White. What a fun and eye-catching card!

    Lori made this one with the Spotlight on Nature dies and the Butterfly Paper Accents seen here.  

    Unfortunately the Spotlight on Nature dies are unavailable again – this must be the third time since they were released! Her colors include Crumb Cake, Pretty in Pink and Summer Splash with White. The amazing Dotted Circles 3D embossing folder is featured on her background.  Love how it fits so perfectly with the circles! It's in low inventory but you can see that here.

    Candy made this beautiful card with the Sketched Butterfly bundle seen here. 

    I love her soft colors of Lost Lagoon with Smoky Slate, Black and Very Vanilla.  She used Lost Lagoon & Smoky Slate Blends markers to color that pretty butterfly. She also used the dark Lost Lagoon blends marker to color her Black & Very Vanilla large check ribbon. 

    Tomorrow I'll post the last of the July Team swaps.

    Today's Team swaps both feature Online Exclusive products.  This means the items are only seen online and are not in any printed publication. There are so many available it's crazy! See them all here.

    This first card is a fun fold and made by Paula. She created an incredibly beautiful card with the Sophisticated Sled bundle! 

    The sled and ice skates are incredibly realistic! This new Sled bundle is amazing. You can see it here. 

    It's a really neat fun fold card where the right front flap overlaps the left layer of designer paper. She featured the new Season of Green & Gold specialty designer series paper here too.

    Her colors include Mossy Meadow, Cherry Cobbler, White, Crumb Cake & Silver. 

    Measurements:

    • Mossy Meadow card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" fold/score at 2 1/8" & 4 1/4"

    Joan made this next card using the Fluffiest Friends bundle. Isn't it adorable?!

    Unfortunately the Fluffiest Friends stamp set sold out and only the dies are available. This can happen with Online Exclusives. They are available while supplies last. Sometimes they'll reorder and other times they do not. 

    Her colors include Crumb Cake, Peach Pie & Summer Splash with a bit of Lemon Lime Twist too. She did a lot of sponging on the textured Crumb Cake and the greeting label. Adorable! 

    Stay tuned for more fabulous Team swaps all this week!

    ~~~

    This week I'm sharing our wonderful array of Team card swaps from July. This month our theme was 'thank you cards' without flowers. 

    The two cards on this post both feature the new Changing Leaves bundle from our online exclusives. I shared a few ideas in a recent video you can see here. 

    Robin made this first card; it's simply gorgeous! 

    Her colors include Old Olive, Coastal Cabana and Wild Wheat. I love the pretty textured White background so much; it really shows off the leaves & die-cuts.  

    The greeting & die-cut are included in the Changing Leaves bundle. 

    Here's a link to the Changing Leaves bundle. It includes the stamp set, dies and matching hybrid embossing folder. See the link to my video above to see how a hybrid embossing folder works. 

    Next is Rita's pretty card. She used the same bundle.

    Her colors include Highland Heather, Shy Shamrock and Basic Beige. She also used the Spotlight on Nature dies for her circles. She sponged a bit of Basic Beige ink onto the embossed layer to highlight the texture.  

    Stay tuned for more fabulous Team swaps all this week!
