Floating Images!

 Floating Images!

stamps used:  Gina K designs Always Delightful stamps/dies

This is a fun card with what I call a WOW factor!  and besides that it is addicting!  You can die cut all your flowers and leaves one day, then another day just make lots of cards, or even as you can see in my pic ... tags.

Below are pics of the card panels with the die cut images on the card fronts.  Do you know what I used to hold the image on the card front?  It is a kitchen item called Press and seal!

If you look close it looks cloudy ... that is the press and seal holding the image. The above pic shows after I die cut out the opening for the card. 

  Below is photo of back of floating images with foam mounting tape.

 

Above is the card front with the press and seal still holding the images onto the card front.  

 

Above you can see the card with the oval cut out.  

I saw this technique a few years ago on Jennifer McGuire's blog. Take a look back in 2019 to see more floating image cards I made.  You can type floating images in my search bar on my blog to see more.

Thanks for stopping by and come back again soon.

Hibiscus celebrate floating frame cards

stamps used:  Altenew stamp co.

Here are some more floating frame cards.  This technique is addictive and it also gives you 2 for 1 cards another words you get a second card out of the left-over piece that is die cut.

Three of these cards are birthday cards with a happy birthday also stamped inside the card.  The first card shown in picture is what I call a note card with the inside blank and a general thinking of you saying on the front of the card.  In this case the saying is a kindness phrase.  If you look at the card on the bottom right of the picture you will see I used an embossing folder for some texture to that card.  You can see more of my floating image cards here and here. 

Basic instructions:

I began by stamping and die-cutting  images from Altenew  Build-A-Flower Hibiscus stamp set.  I arranged them close together on a piece of 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" cardstock. They are not adhered to the cardstock - just laying freely on top of it. Next, carefully lay a piece of Glad Press 'n Seal (available at most grocery stores) over the images to hold them in place. Trim the edges even with the edge of the cardstock. I used a  circle and an oval die to cut out the center. Now it's time to remove the cardstock piece. The Press 'n Seal stays adhered to the die-cuts, you are only removing the cardstock backing. With the die cuts still held in place by the Press 'n Seal add foam mounting tape to the back of all the die cut images. This will make the die-cuts "float" on the finished card. Here's my frame attached to the card front using foam mounting tape.  After you have the frame stuck down, it's time to carefully pull off the Press 'n Seal.  Next I stamped a saying in the center of the frames.

Here are several cards I made with the left over circles from the Floating Frame cards that you can see in this post. for instructions.
Basically after making Floating frame cards you have the circle die cuts all left over .... so ..... why not make them into cards and that is what you see here.

I began by stamping and die-cutting  images from Altenew  Build-A-Flower Anemone stamp set.  I arranged them close together on a piece of 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" cardstock. They are not adhered to the cardstock - just laying freely on top of it. Next, carefully lay a piece of Glad Press 'n Seal (available at most grocery stores) over the images to hold them in place. Trim the edges even with the edge of the cardstock. I used a  circle or a rectangle die to cut out the center. Now it's time to remove the white cardstock piece. The Press 'n Seal stays adhered to the die-cuts, you are only removing the cardstock backing. With the die cuts still held in place by the Press 'n Seal add foam mounting tape to the back of all the die cut images. This will make the die-cuts "float" on the finished card. Here's my frame attached to the card front using foam mounting tape.  After you have the frame stuck down, it's time to carefully pull off the Press 'n Seal.  Next I stamped a saying in the center of the frames.

 With the leftover center I was able to create a second card using the same method which I will show in another post very soon.
