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.

    Here is how Stampin' Up! describes the kit: 

    While the cellophane bags in this kit are food-safe, the packaging is sized for both treats and gifts. Have fun with the festive designs of each box—a sweet snowman, a tree with all the trimmings, or a playful pile of presents—and surprise your friends and family with treat and gift packaging that even Santa would be jealous of!

    • The Kit contains enough supplies to create nine treat packages—three each of three designs—and nine food-safe bags. 
    • This all-inclusive kit includes printed die cuts, die-cut boxes, cellophane treat bags, adhesive, and more!

  • Nuts About Squirrels fun fold card with Stamparatus video


    We made this cute card at my October card clubs.  See the video towards the bottom of this post. 

    It features the Nuts About Squirrels stamp set in the Holiday catalog.  Click here to see it. 

    My colors include Soft Suede, Pumpkin Pie, Vanilla & Pear Pizzazz.  See the tag?  We stamped directly on the die-cut tag using Soft Suede ink. This tag is from the Pretty Pillow Box dies on page 9 of the Holiday catalog. 

    Measurements:

    • Soft Suede 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4" plus 1 7/8" X 5 1/4"
      Pumpkin Pie 3 1/2" X 4 3/4"
      Very Vanilla 3 1/4" X 4 1/2" for front & inside
      Cork paper – scrap for die-cut tag (Pretty Pillow Box dies)

    The Stamparatus made stamping the squirrel images so easy & perfectly placed too! See that here.  It's the best stamp positioning tool out there!

    Watch this video below for lots of tips.

    I have a few more Eden's Garden cards to share today.  This first one features the stamps & dies.  I know many of you are loving the Ever Eden Designer paper but the stamps & dies are also lovely!  

    This card is one of the cards in my free 4 card class this month.  Anyone who places an order over $50 receives a pre-cut card class & PDF.  The kit does not include stamping but everything is die-cut for you; even the bow is done!

    Do you see the texture on the large Soft Succulent layer?  That is from the die itself; not an embossing folder.  You can see how that's done in the video shown here. 

    I used Evening Evergreen & Cherry Cobbler ink and the Eden's Garden stamp set. 

    The next card features the pretty Ever Eden Designer Paper as well as the stamps & dies seen here.  It's a unique layout with just a few layered 2" squares, a stamped background and the pretty greeting label die-cuts. 

    Note the layering effect on these dies.  I share how to do that on the video link above.
