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.

  • This week’s card sketch for a quick, cute card!


    Are you a collector of pretty papers?  I've heard that many of you are!  I equate it to my fabric collecting days.  

    This card sketch idea (seen below) will help you use some of it; it's so simple!   

    I used the Double Oval punch for the greeting which unfortunately is unavailable right now; they've run out!  But it will be at the end of March.  The stamped greeting is from the Enjoy the Moment stamp set on page 59 in the Spring catalog. This pretty Grape ribbon is also unavailable; it should be back  next week. 

    I chose to use the new Butterfly Bijou designer paper; an exclusive paper not seen in any catalog.  It's available here through May 3rd or while supplies last.  It's a 48 pack of 6 X 6" papers.  I love the soft spring-like colors. 

    Measurements are:

    • Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
    • Gorgeous Grape 5 1/4" X 3 1/2"
    • Designer Paper 3 pieces at 1 1/2" X 3 7/8"

    You could use this sketch with stamped or textured card stock instead of designer paper.  I would cut a full 4 1/2" X 3 7/8" piece of card stock, stamp it and then cut it into 1 1/2" strips.

    Join me tonight for this week's Stamp with Me Live on Facebook.  We're making these neat fun fold cards.  It's a Dutch Door card with a gift card option.  

    I shared the measurements & supplies list (seen below) on Saturday here on my FB page so stampers could prep their items ahead of time.  This way they can stamp right along with me!  

    Has the Ice Cream Corner suite caught your eye yet?  Such cute products!  I used the Sweet Ice Cream bundle (stamps & punch) here along with the Ice Cream Corner DSP and sprinkles.  You can see it all here or on pages 48-49 of the Spring catalog. FYI; the Ice Cream punch is on low inventory. 



    I made a bunch of cards using this bundle for February's kit to go.  You can still see them and/or get the tutorial for them here. 

    I used the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set for this card too. I chose the True Love designer paper and added a cute Magenta Madness flower made with the Pierced Bloom dies seen here; I love these!  

    Here's the inside view where you can see the gift card enclosure.  Use any circle punch and adhere the upper and lower edges closed. 

    Measurements:
    Card base 4 1/4" X 5 1/2",
    Gift card piece 2 3/4" X 7" score at 3/4" & 5"
    Inside layer 4" X 5 1/4"
    DSP bottom is 2 1/2" X 4", upper vertical piece is 2 1/2" X 3 1/2"
    Vertical CS is 2 3/4" X 4 3/4"
     
    Supplies: 
    Sweet Ice Cream stamp set and both True Love & Ice Cream Corner DSP.
    Other: Ice Cream Punch, any circle punch, Pierced Bloom dies, Oval and Stitched Shape dies
