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.

  • CUTE Pillowbox ‘treat box’ you’ll love!


    I made this cute box using the Pretty Pillow Box dies.  Does it look like a pumpkin to you?  

    It does use the Pretty Pillow box dies for the flat shape of the front of this box, but the box itself is made from a piece of card stock (see measurements below). I found this idea from fellow demonstrator Lynda Emerson.  As usual I changed it up a bit from hers. 

    Products used:

    Crumb Cake card stock, He’s the Man DSP, strips of Mossy Meadow for apple die trim & for the leaves die-cuts, Pretty Pillow Box dies seen here, Stylish Shapes (for the circle die-cut), Penned Flower & Apple Blossom dies, Stripes & Spatters EF, Linen Thread for the bow, Simply Scored Scoring tool

    The inside of the box would hold quite a few treats; it's a good size!  

    Measurements:

    • Crumb Cake 5 ¼” X 7 ¼” scored at 2" on all 4 sides, plus two die-cut pillow box pieces
    • He’s the Man DSP 2 ¼” X 4 ½”

    Here is what the Pretty Pillow box dies look like: 

    Here are all of the projects I made. The other two cards feature the Hello Harvest bundle.

  • Use the stamp in a new way on this card! Hello Harvest projects


    Here's a pretty card I shared on last week's FB live video; it features the Hello Harvest bundle. 

    I cased the idea from my friend Dawn Olchefske; changing it up a bit.  The main floral image is stamped twice (once upside down) and the greeting covers where they meet.  You can see this image in the stamp set below. 

    It might look like there's an entire strip of designer paper under the main card layers.  But it's just a few small pieces of the Rustic Harvest DSP at the top & bottom of the Vanilla card. Check out the Hello Harvest bundle here.  

    I colored the floral image in with Blends markers in Daffodil, Fresh Freesia, Light Old Olive and Calypso Coral.  I also added a bit of color to the pretty greeting banner.  

    Measurements are: 

    • Vanilla 5 ½” X 8 ½”, 3 ½” X 4 ½” & scrap for greeting
    • Espresso 3 5/8” X 4 5/8”
    • DSP is 1” X 2 ¼”

  • Unique Hello Harvest Fun Fold card with measurements!


    I played with the Hello Harvest bundle on last week's FB Live video and this is one of the cards I made.  

    It's a unique fun fold that's quite easy. It's inspired by my friend Susie Wood. Check out her blog here; she does tons of fun fold cards!  I know you'll want to try this one!  

    I made the first card with a Soft Suede card base and then second guessed myself and made the second one in Pumpkin Pie. Which do you prefer?  

    Almost everything else is the same except the layers around the pumpkins & DSP layers.  

    Here are the measurements: 

    • Card base; 4” X 11” scored at 2” X 3 ¾” from each end, & 4 ¼” X 5 ½”
    • White 3 ½” X 3 ¼”, inside is 3 1/8” X 3 ¾” plus Stylish Shapes greeting die-cut
    • Gingham Cottage DSP 3 ¼” X 3” & 2 strips at 1" X 4", Green or pumpkin panel is 3 5/8” X 3 3/8”
