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.

  • Artistic Dies & sponging; super simple but WOW!


    I couldn't decide which to use behind the sponged die-cut so I made both White & Black.   You can see that video here from Tuesday's FB live earlier this week.  

    Which one do you prefer? 

    The reviews were mixed.  Most prefer the Black because the colors pop more.  But others liked the White for a softer look. 

    The card bases are Pale Papaya and Polished Pink. The strips are Pear Pizzazz. I used sponge daubers in Pear, Papaya, Fresh Freesia and Polished Pink to add color to the pretty die-cut.  See these dies here and the bundle here.  

    The pretty scalloped die-cut is from the Scalloped Contour dies seen here.  The oval is from the Double Oval punch. 

    Below is the video where I demo'd this card.  Don't forget to follow my FB page here and my YouTube channel here so you won't miss anything!

  • Can you tell which is stamped and which is Designer paper?


    I made these on FB live this week using the Expressions in Ink suite.  Can you tell which background is stamped and which is Designer Paper?  

    My top favorite suite in the new Annual catalog is the Expressions in Ink.  See it here or on page 96-97.  It's filled with stamps & paper that mimic alcohol ink backgrounds.  Toss in the beautiful gold accents and it's stunning!  

    Here's a close up of the card.  Can you tell if I stamped it or if it's designer paper?  

    Yes; I did stamp it!  These images are so neat!  I can see lots of uses for both the greetings and the faux alcohol ink stamps.  See how in the video below. Mmm; I think I'll try a one sheet wonder with these…..! 

    And look at the leaves die-cuts!  I cut them from In Color Shimmer Vellum & Gold Foil paper.  The tag is from the Tailor Made Tags dies. 

    Here's the FB Live replay video.  Sorry the text isn't flipped so you can read it.  FB changed their settings and the tool icon is gone.

  • Inspired Thoughts Bundle; a beautiful scene


    I created this card for an online swap I participated in last month.  I just love it!

    The main 4 trees die-cut can be cut apart which opens a whole world of possibilities! 

    Here's how I made it:

    1. Die-cut the trees and hill using the Inspiring Canopy dies (seen below).  
    2. Cut the 4 trees apart at the bottom connection point. Set aside.
    3. Sponge clouds using Pool Party ink onto the 4" X 5 1/4" Basic White CS.  I used the Basic Border dies (cloud).
    4. Sponge Calypso Coral ink onto the bottom third of this piece. 
    5. Adhere the trees to the edge of each side. 
    6. Add the hill piece; trim off excess from hill and trees. Adhere to the Calypso Coral card base. 
    7. Finish with Genial Gems.  

    You can see the beautiful Inspired Thoughts bundle here.
