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.

    I'm looking forward to the May Paper Pumpkin kit this month.  It looks like it's full of nature themed cards.  

    I love that they give us a hint about what we'll receive each month.  This lets subscribers decide if they want to get it, order an extra or opt out.  I spy wood rounds, flowers and pinecones.

    • A 7-piece all-occasion stamp set that celebrates good friends and great adventures!

    What a fantastic deal!!  I always get these; the value is incredible!  18 cards and 18 envelopes for just $10. To me it looks like all these pretty cards need is a greeting to finish them off. See them here. 

    It's one of the perks of being a subscriber.  They offer us some fun add-ons now & then.  I also like that we get to order kit refills if and when they become available. Refills of the monthly kits are usually $11 and include everything in the original kit except the ink spot & stamps.

  • Beautiful Balloons ‘latch’ fun fold card; new products in the Annual Catalog


    I've sure been enjoying playing with new products from the new Annual Catalog by Stampin' Up!  The Bright & Beautiful suite is one we could pre-order early as a Demonstrator. 

    Here's one of my recent projects: 

    I made it with my Flowerbug's Team on our monthly Zoom gathering. It was a mystery card designed by Candace. 

    My colors include Fresh Freesia, Blueberry Bushel and white.   

    I placed the top panel on the left edge of the front card fold, adding Dimensionals to just the very left edge.  It allows the right fold to 'latch' and hold the card closed.  Below is a photo showing how the right side 'catches' under the front panel. 

    Measurements are: 

    • Card base 5 ½” X 7 ¼” scored at 4 ¼”
    • left panel 4 ¼” square score on one side at 1”
    • front panel 2 ½” X 3 ½”
    • Basic White 4” X 5 ¼”(inside)  & front is 2 ¼” X 3 ¼”
    • Portrait DSP 2 ¾” X 5 ¼”
    • Portrait DSP; same or different 3” X 4”  

     

    All of these products are now available in the new Annual Catalog.  If you don't have a local demonstrator let me know; I'll send you one for just $5.  If you order from me online first I'll send it free!  

    Remember that my new catalog designer paper share is still open for a limited time.  Get 80 sheets of 6 X 6" DSP – all from the new catalog for just $28.50 plus shipping.  Reserve your spot here.

  • Crafting with You; one more way to use it!


    During this week's Live video I shared how to make this cute card featuring the Crafting with You bundle seen here; new in the 2023-24 Annual Catalog. 

    This card is done in Boho Blue with only white to accent it.  I stamped the background with the Cheerful Daisies stamp.  I cut a slit in the stamped & die-cut machine with a craft knife to insert the textured White layer into.  

    I added a 1" strip of the new In Color 6 X 6" DSP to the White cardstock before I die-cut it with the new Countryside Corners dies.  

    I shared the following photo last week to show you the newest In Colors but since I made a video showing you how to make this card I'm sharing it again now.  

    Which color is your favorite?  From left to right – Pebbled Path, Copper Clay, Wild Wheat, Moody Mauve & Boho Blue.
