Transform Your Card-Making Skills with Double Floating Magic!

 Hi Friends!

You are going to love this one! I’ve got a brand-new technique to share today—yes, a technique that might be totally new to you—and it’s featured on this gorgeous card using the Spotlight On Nature bundle and the Everyday Arches.

This design has all the dreamy, soft purples that give it a fresh and delicate springtime feel. The result is a card that’s elegant, eye-catching, and surprisingly easy to make once you see how the technique comes together. Whether you’re a seasoned stamper or just getting started, this project is packed with creative inspiration.

The Spotlight On Nature bundle is so versatile and lends itself beautifully to techniques that add depth and interest without needing a ton of extra layers. Pairing it with the Everyday Arches creates a soft frame that brings the whole design together in a way that’s modern and timeless.

I had so much fun experimenting with this new method and can’t wait for you to try it too. Be sure to scroll down and watch the full video tutorial where I walk you through the entire process step-by-step.

Watch A Live Tutorial On How To Do The Floating Technique And Learn An Amazing Tip For Decorating The Inside!

 Hi Friends!

Last week I was supposed to do a live demonstration on how to do the Floating Technique, but I was ill and unable to do the demo.

I finally got it done on Monday and I am so excited to share it with you.

I received a card from my Silver Sister Tamara Bertram, using this technique. It is such a clean and simple card with a WOW factor that I knew I had to make it myself.

I changed a couple of things to make it my own, but the original idea and layout is all from Tamara.

You will want to watch the video to see how I decorated the inside!  I used die cuts, but not in the usual way!  The link to the video is below.

This is a super way to use up strips of designer paper. You don't have to use all the same kind, I did this technique a couple of times using some different strips.

Here's one that I did back in June.....

You can CLICK HERE to visit that blog post and see a video tutorial on how to do that one.

Here's the recipe for the Christmas Floating Technique card ...

Thick Basic White card base 8-1/2 x 5-1/2

Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (for inside), 5 x 3-3/4 (front)

Window Sheet 3 x 3

Gold Glimmer Paper 2 x 3-1/2

Boughs Of Holly DSP 3 x 3 cut into 1/4" strips

Festive Pearls

Stylish Shapes dies

Holly Berry dies - don't throw the inside die cut pieces away!  Watch the video to see how I used them.

Brightest Glow stamp set

Leaves Of Holly stamp set

Ink:  Memento, Cherry Cobbler

Would you like to see how to do the Floating Technique using Stampin' Up!s Boughs Of Holly Designer Paper?

 Hi Friends

UPDATE:  I am sick and could not do this demonstration on Monday night. But I decided to leave this up and give you a sneak peek of next Monday's card.

 I apologize and I hope you will join me on my facebook page for the live demo, or catch the video replay next Wednesday when I share the card and video tutorial again. .....  Thank you for understanding.

On Monday night I shared how to do the Floating Technique with the Boughs of Holly designer paper and Holly Berry dies.

I cased this card from a swap card I received from Tamara Bertram, and changed a couple of things to make it my own.

Sometimes it's the CAS cards that make the biggest impact. CAS stands for Clean And Simple. Although it's not really simple, it is clean and I love cards with lots of white space on them.

The sentiment comes from the Brightest Glow stamp set.

Swap Cards - A Great Way To Get Inspiration!

 Hi Friends!

Today's card was created by Diane Inkster for a recent Waves Of The Ocean swap we participated in.

I love, love, love the circle behind the whale. It's called the Floating Technique and I am going to use this soon in a card!

Diane used the Whale Done stamp set and coordinating Whale punch along with the Waves Dies and the so, so, so pretty Blue Foils.  The background (Coastal Cabana) is embossed with the Textured Textiles embossing folder.

Hello, Mr Whale, I am glad you swam into my craft room today!
