I am an Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator.
This blog is a place to share my creations to make you smile and sometimes laugh.
I love card making and scrap booking plus a WHOLE lot more! I am definitely a child of the 70's and 80's too! I LOVE Pinterest too!!
Here is a new card using a technique called the Floating Circle card.
It uses strips of cardstock, a window sheet, and Foam Strips to make it look like it's floating on the card. I also used the Cane Weave 3D Embossing folder and topped it with a die cut from the Framed Florets dies. Scroll to the bottom for a full video tutorial and to see the items I used and images to purchase them so you can make it yourself.
These are the pieces you need to recreate this lovely card.
To make the floating circle, first, you glue the strips in any pattern you would like, using a variety of widths of cardstock leaving spaces between the strips onto a circle of window sheet. You can use ANY color strips you have on hand.
This is what the back side looks like.
Then, use your scissors to trim the strips along the circle.
Place Foam strips behind the cardstock. Use the Cane Weave 3D Embossing folder to emboss your Basic White and adhere it to the Bermuda Bay and then to the card base.
Here is a video tutorial you can follow along to make this card yourself. Enjoy!
I love the double layer card. This one I used both the Rays of Light background stamp and Paradise Palms stamp set and Palms dies.
Scroll down for a video tutorial after the picture tutorial.
Start with 2 pieces of Basic White measuring 3-3/4" X 5" and 2-3/4 X 4-1/16"
And 2 pieces of Basic Black measuring 4" X 5-1/4" and 3" X 4-5/16"
Using some temporary adhesive, center the smaller white onto the larger piece of white.
Because the stamp needs to cover all of the cardstock, I didn't use the magnets. I put some temporary adhesive to hold the two pieces of cardstock and mount the Rays of Light onto the Stamparatus plate. Ink it with Crushed Curry.
And this is what it looks like. It's okay that there is a slight white border because you are going to layer it with the Basic Black to mat them.
See how great it looks? I love this technique.
And here is the finished card again. What do you think?
