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.

  • There’s so much you can do with the Merriest Moments bundle!


    On this week's FB Live I featured the Merriest Moments bundle seen here – a beautiful bundle that includes a Hybrid embossing folder. This type of folder enables you to die-cut AND emboss at the same time!  

    However it's important to only use the large outline die inside your Hybrid folder.  Do not use the detailed die.  You can use that after or before you emboss. 

    Look at these gorgeous cards in Evening Evergreen, White, Red & Just Jade. 

    This next card really shows off the stunning die-cut & texture as well as the pretty holiday greeting.  That cute baby poinsettia is made from our Red velvet paper and the dies in this bundle.  The colors are Evening Evergreen, White and Red. 

    The set of cards below have a window die-cut in the Thick White card base after texturing.  I did run the front back through the Hybrid embossing folder again after I cut the window because it flattened a bit when die-cut.  *This is shown in the video below or click here. 

    I added just a few die-cuts and the greeting to finish them.  Simple yet beautiful! 

    Next is a gorgeous card we made at my October Card Clubs.  The pretty die-cut has been sponged with ink before or after it's embossed with the Hybrid embossing folder.  Either way works fine. 

    I chose an unlikely combo of Old Olive & Just Jade.  Who knew they'd be so beautiful together?! 

    See this amazing bundle here in my store.   

    Below is the video where I show how to make most of these cards.  I hope you watch it and get inspired to create yourself!

  • Angled Gatefold card with easy latch closure; the Christmas version


    Here's the other set of Angled Gatefold cards I made on last week's Stamp with Me Live.  Every other Monday I show a fun or easy way to use your Designer Paper. Don't hoard it; use it!  Follow me on Facebook here. 

    Each card is held closed by the punch or die-cut on the left. Placing your dimensionals on the left edge of each allows you to slip the right card flap between the greeting and the left front flap of the card base.  Don't get it?  Watch the video below! 

    See how the left flap is under the greeting? 

    Here's the link to the video; or scroll down to watch it here. 

    The colors are traditional red & green – Real Red & Old Olive.  I stamped the left side with the tiny peppermint image using White Craft ink.

    This adorable designer paper is called Gingerbread & Peppermint. It's 6 X 6" and in our Stampin' Up! Holiday catalog.  See it here. 

    Here are the templates; 



    And here's the video below; it's short & you'll find these cards quite easy to make!
